Live Update from the 2009 Treasure Expo and Trade Show

[rgecy]

Well, guys I wanted to post some picts from the Treasure Expo. It is amazing what xXx (David) has put together in such a short time. There were some 100 vendors and groups present and some really great displays.

I had the pleasure of meeting Greg and Tony with the Goldhound for the first time. Carl Fismer is also here and had an excellent display. I actually did an interview with him and will post the video later tonight.

The FMDAC seeded hunt went great and you couldn't have asked for better conditions. Clear skies and temps in the 70's.

This has been one great event and we even talked about ole PegLeg.

I will post some more tonight.

I wished I could have been there ever since I saw the website and talked to David about it.
Oh well, maybe I'll be able to make the next Expo.

I have finally recovered from the Treasure Expo & Trade Show weekend. I was exhausted, but have been working night shift at the Sheriff's Dept every night since the show. In fact, I'm at work now (shhhhh, don't tell).
It was GREAT meeting everyone from TreasureNet, and the treasure hunting industry. What a great group of people. I'm proud to be a part of your World.
There were a few awards given out at the show that I would like to mention. You can't imagine how difficult it was for the staff of the Show and myself to choose booth awards, as there were so many wonderful booths I can't even start to describe them. First of all, Rob (rtde3) showed up with the Shark Pit Treasures display, which was awarded the "Predator Award" from the Treasure Expo & Trade Show and Predator Tools. The "People's Choice" award was presented to the Vendor's Booth that made the biggest impression on the public. This was awarded to "Gold Hound Treasure Divers" and Greg Bounds for his outstanding display. Finally, the "Best Booth" was awarded to a Vendor for going above and beyond the normal Vendor Display. The "Best Booth" went to "Seafarer" for what I would have to say was the most outstanding display you could imagine. To begin, Seafarer had a GREAT booth! Then, they built and set up a beautiful Pirate Ship outside the Expo Hall at the Main Entrance. As if that weren't enough, the group included "Pirate Soup Radio" into the show and set the entire sound system up in the Expo Hall directly in front of the Seafarer Booth. The public was blessed with great music throughout the show courtesy of Pirate Soup Radio. GREAT JOB GUYS!
Being at work right now I can't get any pictures on here, but I was able to get some of EVERY booth. I will have them posted on here Wednesday evening for everyone to enjoy.
I appreciate everyone who showed up. I can say that you have made me believe in you as Treasure Hunters, and I will definately work even harder to put more shows together for you.
You are all great, and I hope to hunt with each and every one of you.

Hi everyone! We attended the Tresure Expo as exhibitors and had a great time! We met a lot of terrific people and made some new friends. This was our first show and David and Darren went out of thier way to make sure we were well accommodated. It was a long drive from Canada but well worth it. Hopefully we will be able to attend next year. Thanx David and Darren. Your friends, Pete Anderson and Ryan Fazekas at Anderson Detector Shafts

 

[Darren in NC]

You guys had a great booth, Pete. We were thrilled you were there! Your detector shafts should be considered by any serious detectorist who is tired of flimsy detectors. Great product, bro!
