I found a few coins this week as we had a nice little North Eastern disturbance. Also got 14 rings and one .925 silver bracelet. None of the rings were gold  . But it was a fun time indeed. Most of the rings are .925 silver with the exception of two which are brass or zinc. Ugogirl from California joined me on Sunday to get the party started. The final coin count was 467.  |

That is the largest haul I've seen in other than a shipwreck cache.
Congrats!!

Finding that much treasure in one hunt will be tough to beat. Congratulations. Gold Nuggets  |
If pull-tabs and twist tops were Gold nuggets ....I could have retired years ago.

I'm sorry for the mis-understanding... I found this pile over the course of 12 hours and 4 days. My back can only take 2 to 3 hours at a time.

One day or four days, it's still an outstanding haul.
Congrats again.

What a Sight ... can also say What a Site!  Was this in 4 different areas? Any Silver coins? Strange to not get any Gold rings .. my personal ratio is about 1 gold in 5 rings over about 100+ rings. Perhaps the strange conditions skew the results? My winter hunting here in Southern California is mainly devoted to finding older deeper and storm produced beach finds. HH Joe |
