Default Some of the Gold from My 47th Year

Birthdays are a time for assessment at least for this Pirate. So today I did a tally of my loot and it was pretty good for the time between my 46th and 47th Birthday. I took a pic of the gold part but didn't bother with the silver because I don't keep very good track of those finds unless they are exceptional in some way. The pic below is what I have left in my loot bowl, 5 of last years gold rings went back to my safety deposit in Canada and 5 were given away to friends or family, so I'm short ten gold from my total as shown in the pic.

Time to get crackin if I'm going to surpass last year's totals,

BDA
(the 3 rings in the front a platinum but the one on the right is from the year before, sorry)
