Well Mark and I spent 5 hours on the giving beach and I think she may be done giving. I tried Detecting and sifting. But alas no bling. This has been the most gold we have dug from a single beach ever. In 15 hunts I managed 32 gold, 25 rings, 2 earrings, 2 chains and 2 charms. Total gold weight was 96.7g mostly 14K
I believe Mark has about 25 gold. He is suppose to send me a pic of his stuff and I will post it when I get it. I will of course check in on her from time to time to see if the vault has reopened.

Thanks for all the great comments and barbs along the way. This was one fun 3 weeks of hunting.

Some beautiful finds there Ron! Glad I was able to sneak a few before the doors closed. Only 9.8 grams total weight for me, but I'll take it. Glad I was able to hold my own toward the end of the run. :thumbsup:

Lookin4ward to hunting again soon.
