American Detectorist 3rd Anniversary Contest

[Epi-hunter]

Here you see three photos of a jar of some wheat cents found by Angel (angellionel).

Guess the number of wheat cents in the jar. He has even helpfully provided a ruler, so do your math! lol

The person who guesses closest without going over will win first place. Four winners overall will receive prizes (those who come 2nd, 3rd, and 4th closest). One guess per individual.

All members (including staff) are eligible, as long as they have a total of 30 posts by end of contest. The contest will end at 10pm eastern time on Wednesday, November 14th.

*** Prizes to be announced shortly ***
