1st Prize

[SkyPirate]

For the most "What is it" posts in a 30 day period I would like to honor TN member Garabaldi with this trophy! Speech! Speech!

Note:this post is not meant as any kind of harassment. It's all in good clean fun.

Garabaldi:
"I am speachless. I don't know what to say. What an honor and one heck of a sweet trophy. This has been a total surprise. I first want to thank my first grade teacher, then my Whites M6 detector, my girl who has much tolerance and patience for me detecting long hours, my parole officer for sticking with me all these years and not loosing faith, my fellow treasure net members who have the passion for research all those hours to ID my 8oo and something post under What Is It while I am detecting, and last but not least, Skypirate. Without him this would have never happened. I have to go because I have a few things I have to post on WHat Is It."

It has been brought to my attention that some may have been offended by the statement (lighthearted joke) directed at IP ("unlike some free-loaders on here!").

In hindsight I should have said Free-Loader without the 'S' as it was purely directed at IP.

If you want to use this site for nothing (other than ISP charges), then thats your right. I always treat people on here as equals, whether members or not. I spend many hours IDing & looking through books for people I have never met.

If I can't have a laugh with a friend on here, it should be me considering whether to pay or not.

ENOUGH SAID.

We with humour will continue our happy lives

Can't we all just get along?

I wasnt offended in case you are wondering. ...and I knew you where joking with IP.
This is the first time I have seen you get angry Cru. See, it can happen to the best of us.

Thats my point, I'm a happy kinda of person, & it does hurt when people point fingers at me being malicious. I try hard to stay out of the 'bull' & bring positive ID's to anyone asking.

If I can't bring in my personality because it offends the odd person then one of us has to put up & shut up, & I can tell you now I'm flying high so its going to take a lot to shot me down

PS. not really anry (takes more than this, I have plenty more patience), more disappointed.

I am not offended, if your talking about me. I just wanted to put up a little prize for Garabaldi, just for fun. Thats what this hobby is all about for me, FUN

 

[SkyPirate]

ohe my, this has seem to have gone North. I would like to graciously retract my award, but before I do that I need to catch low tide. Heading out for few hours.
P.S CRUSADER, if it means anything you have ID a ton of my finds and I have been very greatfull for that, so your a winner and a hero in my book. Besides we might be related seing how your on the other side of the pond.

Sorry, the prize is non-refundable! FYI, I checked with Jeff of PA before I posted the prize. I wanted to make sure that it was ok. It was just for fun. He said it was OK to post. So everybody lighten up, have a good laugh and go on about your business. I am sorry if I caused all this drama.

no I wasn't talking about you, well only the times I quoted you, the rest was some other person who strangely didn't even post on this thread (but complained elsewhere).

No hard feels

I was a Charter Member for several years before the price went up. Im sorry I cannot support this site monetarily at this time as my last day at work was Jan3. I will continue to support this site in any other way possible. Its the best MDing site online. If I had a steady job, I would certainly pay my dues. Thats great of you G to help support TN and all the other Charter Members who pay every year without questioning.

* First thing I want to do is congratulate Garabaldi for accepting the trophy. His continuous posting of interesting finds gives us something to research.

* Second, I want to thank several unknown members of TN who pitched in and bought my Charter Membership. It does have its perks. I still cannot believe that someone would go out of their way to do this for me. Im not sure I deserve it because I sometimes bicker... but I will try to be a better member from now on.

Im sorry to hijack Garabaldi but I didnt know where to post. I feel like I received a trophy as well. Congratulations again to Garabaldi and thank you again to the members who bought my Charter Membership.

 

[Garabaldi]

Wow, amazing members to buy your charter membership. Congrats, you are a great member and do an immence amount of work IDing artifacts. You deserve it.
