Kodiak

Great News! Ive always enjoyed your stories, and it will be great to be able to reread the old stories that were on The Alaska Gold Forum. When the time comes, please do let us all know when and where it will be available. Thanks, Kodiak

Im no expert, but probably melted aluminum as its non-ferrous. Usually aluminum slag is shinier though. Maybe copper slag? Have you tried scratching it to see the color of metal inside?

So sorry to hear this. I always enjoyed the Alaska Gold Forum and all of Jims contributions to the gold mining community. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Jim.

Just watched the Fredo and Juano show. Great as usual. Way more believable than the GhostMiners stories. That was a very quick appearance from Steve on the show. Looks like im getting off the Rock for a few weeks, hoping to do some mining up in Hope. Will be in Anchorage, gonna check out the new AMDS. Kodiak.

Gotta love the Sheds.

Now thats a Knife! Seriously though, great story, beautiful scenery and nice finds. Thanks.

Great Story Thanks, Kodiak

Nice Bling, 17th century shipwreck bling for sure.

Nice finds. Looks like a blank shell to me. Crimped ends is the dead give-away. Funny you found the BANG ping the same day. Bottle opener looks like a butterfly knife. Thanks for sharing.

Thank for sharing your find. And Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the detailed post Erik. I like sharks about as much as I like bears, and that isnt much. Stay Safe.

Great blind underwater recovery. Thanks for sharing with us.

Very unique Find!

Nice find. The pin part looks really straight as well. I think its going to get harder and harder to find jewelry made from converted currency in the future, as the current coins wouldnt hold up.
