[Goldinwater]

1 More silver Half and 2 gold rings for a total of 29 silver and 20 gold. This is my first silver half from southern waters.

No Silver Half Dollars for me yesterday! (THANKS TO GOLDINWATER! LOL!!!) But I did manage to get me a nice little 10k white gold ring with a gorgeous Star Sapphire and a tiny diamond chip. I believe this puts me at 7 gold for the year.

2011 was a good year for all, so let's try topping that in 2012. All new faces are welcome to join in at any time, and welcome back to everyone else. I will keep this tally going as I did the previous two years. Silver coins will be listed first, followed by gold items in $$. Numbers in (parenthesis) are last years numbers for you to compare your current count with. Good luck to all and HH!

With a few new members joining in on the tally this year, I'm setting our goal for this year at 3,000. A couple of our members got over 300 each last year, several over 100, and many near 100. This should not be difficult to reach. Let's step up our skills and kick some serious butt this year! With everyone gaining a bit of more experience, and upgrading their equipment I don't think this is out of our reach. Let's do this!
