At least that's what I was noticing after about 2000 to 2005. Not as much being worn when I looked at participants in the different sports venues. Also, the percentage of gold jewelry recoveries was declining but I was finding an increasing percentage of silver jewelry than I used to. By 'percentage' I was referring to the quantity of finds from hunting the same types of productive sites.

I'll take both, but I prefer more of the gold in my take.
