NorCalBottle Hunter:

Welcome to the forum. My mother's side of the family hails from Rio Vista and we've a rich history there dating back to the 1850s. My great uncle was the "unofficial" mayor of Rio Vista for many years before he died. My 80-year-old mother talks of her grandmother's large Victorian house which was washed away in the big flood during the early 1930s, and of her grandfather who had a proclivity to stash money in the basement and elsewhere on the property before committing suicide in 1930. After his death, they found thousands of dollars in gold double eagles packed in socks and stuffed inside his mattress. Still know the site where the house stood which remains on family property. Thinking the time is right to pay a visit to this site with the metal detector.

The dark teal and the cobalt blue in the middle are outstanding! Great display - I'd love to see more pics from your collection!
