Gold Results for My 2nd Year with the Excal

[bdahunter]

2 years ago I bought an Excal for my 46th birthday as a present to myself and I've had no regrets with that decision. Birthdays are a time for assessment at least for this Pirate. So today I did a tally of my loot and it was pretty good for the time between my 46th and 47th birthdays. I took a pic of the gold part of my 2nd year loot but didn't bother with the silver because I don't keep very good track of those finds unless they are exceptional in some way. The pic below is what I have left in my loot bowl, 5 of last years gold rings went back to my safety deposit in Canada and 5 more were given away to friends or family, so I'm short ten gold from my total as shown in the pic.

Man 954, you're tough on a pirate. 39 gold and 2 platinum times 2 would be 78 gold and 4 platinum. I can't very well give up my day job even at the price of gold these days.

Cheers,

BDA

You can always hope and dream, right? Awesome collection you've made for yourself. whats your total weight?...............even an estimate, for the lil dreamer in me

 

[bdahunter]

I haven't bothered getting a scale yet but the 22k knuckle buster on the far right has got to be close to an ounce by itself. I did beat last years gold total, just barely.(39 gold this year and 35 the year before that)

Go get that Plat, John! I can tell you're really stoked about the Brownie and I don't blame you. There's got to be tons of loot in those old swimming holes, just waiting for you to swim down and pirate it. Looking forward to seeing the loot, soon.

Cheers,

BDA

That's impressive!
I did about that well in 1998 and 1999. Never during the years after that though.
Of course, i've been out sick for the last 2 years.
