Colorado Prospector - Gem and mineral prospecting and mining forums _ CP's Past Events _ Colorado 04' Rally Funds

Posted by: ColoradoProspector Jan 17 2004, 08:20 PM

We have already had several donations for the rally!

In addition to the first weeks auction(0.5g nugget), we have a 2nd nugget, a crystal Amazonite piece, a bakers dozen pak of Apache Tears(raw), some beautiful Microcline, and a John Fremont silver commemorative coin.

Okay, we will run the auction from Sunday morning through Saturday night(12am), and the highest bidder of the item will be posted, and the new one will begin again on Sunday morning.(Whenever we drag our butts outta bed.)
These are just some small items to get the ball rolling and I'm sure there will be more donations as the volunteers and clubs find retailers and others wishing to become involved.
If we happen to run out of items before the rally then we will have to stop the weekly auctions, right now we have 6 items so we have six weeks to drum up a few more little goodies.... ;) :)

All right then...Let's have some fun! :P B)
Bill who own's http://www.goldendetectors.com/ has started off the items with a 0.5g nugget. Thank you Bill!
We are gonna start this one off early by a couple hours just for kicks and giggles! :P :P

Just post your bids in here where everyone can see, and remember it's all going to a good cause!
