ATTEND BONE 17 & YOU COULD WIN A MINELAB E-TRAC METAL DETECTOR
Most Best O' North East weekends have rewarded worthy products, newsletters, books, magazines and inducts worthy treasure hunters & or prospectors into it's Treasure Hunters Hall of Fame. Some awards are pre-announce. For 2010, Robert Lewis, Jesse Thompson & Joseph Kinsella will be inducted into the Treasure Hunters Hall of Fame. The metal detector of the year was won by the Minelab E-Trac. In appreciation, Minelab donated an "E - Trac" it's best & most expensive coin & relic metal detector to BONE 17 for a door prize.
To be fair in giving it away, it was decided when anyone attends a BONE event, they will be given a ticket to be in the lucky E Trac drawing. The drawing will be at the BONE Awards banquet on April 24. You do not have to be present to win. A staff member will collect tickets with names & addresses & deposit them into the special drum for the drawing. At least this is the Plan! We are planning 4 workshops and will need helpers to pass out & collect the tickets. If you can help, contact me. The Best O' North East is 17 years old and every year it tries to raise money for St Jude Children's Research Hospital and provide educational & fun events for all interested in relic hunting, treasure hunting, and prospecting hobbies. It's smart & makes sense, to attend BONE !! not responsible for errors or omissions.
