    Three consecutive hunts finding gold. 3 are 14K and the oldie is 10K. The three hunts were all at different places and if you notice the pics of my finds for each hunt, they're not many, BUT, gold was there.

    In the last pic there are 14 diamonds in the channel.

    Thanks for looking.

    My gold streak ended at 5 consecutive hunts, the last ( fifth hunt ) produced a double gold. My sixth hunt was a bust but the 7th produced a nice 1971, 10K school ring and a Barber half.

    Thanks for looking

    You had a great streak going there, Frank! So much awesome gold!

    Even though you had one hunt without any gold, you picked up right where you left off with that nice class ring!

    The Barber Half is cool too, even if the sea reshaped it. I love the imprint of the half in the encrustation.

    Lifetime totals:
    10 Large Cents, 415 Indian Heads, 2 Two Cent Pieces, 1 Capped Bust Half Dime, 1 Seated Half Dime, 10 Shield Nickels, 68 V Nickels, 124 Buffalo Nickels, 31 War Nickels, 16 Seated Dimes, 131 Barber Dimes, 405 Mercury Dimes, 249 Rosies, 4 Seated Quarters, 18 Barber Quarters, 20 Standing Liberty Quarters, 89 Silver Washingtons, 1 Seated Half, 3 Barber Halves, 16 Walking Liberty Halves
