I want to thank everyone.

To all of those who contributed. The final tally will not be known until all of the checks clear the bank but it will be in excess of $500 that we raised for the Petting Zoo.
For all of those who could not make it out here is what the day looked like. 16 diggers to start the day. 2 came later and 1 left early.

Some scenic shots for you pleasure.




And now for the question of how am I going to choose the winner?

In the can is a chit with a number and each one corresponds to a name for every $20 donation. And I am going to toss the chits into the air and hopefully catch one.
Here we go.

OH OH lost them. And before the comments start I do know that I still have some weight to loose. :whistle:

Here they come.

Concentrate and don't miss all of them.

And with far to much juggling and a huge bit of luck I did manage to keep one from hitting the ground.

The winner is Eric Langelaar aka threedawgs.

And yes I did get help cleaning up the beach.

Here is Eric picking up the Minelab 305 at my place later.

The final tally for the fun hunt and Minelab 305 draw is in and yesterday I presented the Petting Zoo with $600 on behalf of the entire metal detecting community.
To say that she was both surprised and pleased is an understatement.
How we are going to be able to top that next year is yet to be determined.

Great job Ron way to go!
