caldigger Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Just 10 days left to put yourself on Santa's nice list (all the rest of you will go on his other list!) Join the fun and get a chance to get items you may never have the chance to get on your own. I can't wait for Santa to deliver presents to my mailbox. Please join in and celebrate this year with a big fossiliferous fa-la-la-la-la. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Thanks Mike, I knew my threat of the naughty list would create some kind of action. Now lets see a lot more play! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 OK kiddies, you have less than a week to make sure you stay off of the naughty list! Hurry up and sign on to get your great gift box. Will you get that awesome fossil you've always wanted? You will never know unless you play the Secret Santa game. Get on board and join all the rest of the lucky ones that are going to play. Time is running down, so get your name in the hat (Santa's hat, that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagurus Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Well I expect I'm already on the naughty list, but I'm happy to hop over the boards and join the game. U.S. only, I'm sorry to say. Mike Start the day with a smile and get it over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinlukers Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 count me in!! USA Time's are tough Mr. Caldigger. I know that not everyone has great items and I'm just happy to join in and share. Texas has pretty much the same fossil's but it's the joy of finding that premium specimen. Happy Holidays fellow hunter and collectors. Remember it's the Joy of giving not the wondering if you get a lump of coal... Oh?? wait that is a fossil in a mineral form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
