LordM Giveaway #118 (pick your prize)

Contest status: CLOSED
Drawing: @JoshuaP won
Shipped: 6 December 2024
Winner's receipt

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the latest giveaway. This will be another one of my "pick your prize" contests, so you can hopefully win something you'll like.

To enter:

1. Go view my Giveaway Gallery.

2. Post an entry here, stating which prize you would prefer.

3. State why you chose what you did.

NOTE: That last bit is important. To qualify, you have to not only pick a prize, but also say WHY you picked it. I do not require an essay. A few words will do.

However, if you are entering on someone else's behalf, you are not required to pick a prize or say why. Your designated proxy will get to pick their choice later, if your entry wins for them.

Your prize choice need not be final. Since I do periodically add new prizes to the Giveaway Gallery, you'll be given a chance to change your mind at the end, if you win the drawing. I just like to hear the initial selections up front, since it gives me an idea of what folks like.

Click the pic to go to the prize gallery.


The drawing will be done via random number generator sometime on or after the date mentioned at the top of this post. The timing will depend on my schedule. You may consider the contest open for entries until such time as I have posted the final result of the drawing.

Totally free: the contest is free of charge, open to everyone, with free worldwide shipping. The only further requirement is that if you win...

Please post a receipt in this thread after you get the prize, so we'll know you got it (that helps me keep track).

Good luck!

Numismatic regards,

~Robertson ("Rob") Shinnick ("LordM")

This contest is brought to you by Susie the Stork.

 

“Susie” could actually be Steve the Stork in the OP. I really don’t know.

He or she was hanging out in the drive-thru lane at our local Hardee’s fast food joint.



He/she is a Wood stork, and apparently they get a hankering for a hamburger once in a while. (Can’t blame ‘em- I’d imagine cold, raw minnows and muddy crabs and stuff like that would get old.)

That’s all I know for sure.

 

So of course that last post made me Google-search “Wood stork diet”.

The AI overview said,

They eat small alligators. Whoa!

Right below that, in the Google search results, was the question, “Can Wood storks eat hot dogs?”

The answer is probably yes, but it’s a terrible idea, and bad for them.

 

Sal, given the early sites you’ve metal detected, I’m surprised you haven’t found one. Given how heavily they circulated in the US before 1857, I mean.

Down here in the Deep South, on those older sites, I’ve dug a few more pieces of Spanish colonial silver than I have large cents or half dimes, for example. But we’re pretty close to Florida here, and Florida was under Spanish rule until 1821.
