Every year I normally take a video of my finds before I have them refined for what ever reason I didn’t do it this year. Three years ago I started refining my silver jewelry and it's been really fun to see the collection grow from year to year. I figured there was really no use to keep the unwanted silver rings and other various finds so I give away what family and friends might want and decided to start doing this.
The 1oz coins and bars are the refined silver from all the jewelry and silver odds and ends and the 1oz coins in the plastic containers came from another source.
I saved a few rings that I'll keep in my collection and won’t melt them down and of course all my silver coins will always remain intact and a part of my collection.
Well my New Year starts and since I turned in my finds landed one gold band and about $10 in clad. The credit of this years gold collection and check amount would have to go to the Vision as it has been double the normal amount from previous years. I did land two of the biggest gold rings I've hit on land with the DFX one was scraped and the other I am wearing and I’m going to keep for myself.
Clad amounts dropped considerably since I started using the Vision but everything else has increased. I have maybe pulled close to $200 in clad since I started using the Vision down a good 65% from previous years but that may because I spent more time hunting gold.
