The annual traditional #silvergoldstackers Christmas Wish list challenge is in progress! Start anytime, preferably just Before this Christmas, novice or veteran Stacker, 2 to 24+ of the shiny treasures that occupy most of your waking thoughts or subconscious desires, and perhaps Santa might answer.

A Stacking embarrassment on my part, as I was preparing to put together a posting plan for this series I have come to realize that this particular silver round is missing. I remember getting this but perhaps not.
Before I slap the picture of this round on the side of a milk carton I should put this out there for a secret Santa to read. Otherwise, I may have to rely on hazardous waters of eBay. I recall bidding unsuccessfully on this round as I was against buyers that were willing to spend far much more than I was able to endure at the time, plus shipping.
Shipping is become another hazard nowadays with items never reaching their destination.
I’ll have to save the deep dive behind the tall tales swirling about Davy Jones Locker when I acquire this iconic pirate silver, and triumphantly finish this set once and for all.
However, I followed an interesting rabbit trail in a swift ‘Duck duck go’ reconnoiter of the Davy Jones name. Other than the Disney Octo face rendition of Captain Jones we’re most familiar with, there is one other, of a young musician Davy Jones of a 1960s band called The Monkees.
Charming.
Hardly, the visage of a fearsome Seafaring Captain and his cutthroat crew. The Monkees are originally a television sitcom before gaining popularity as a recording and touring band.
No locker mentioned.
Dare I venture further? 😬
Going by my instincts I figured there may be a pirate life related episode to redeem my slighted honor of this most embarrassing post. Combing through the Monkees episode list I found what I may be looking for!
It is Season 2, Episode 12 ‘Hitting the High Seas’ The Monkees vs. Pirates. But alas my buccaneer friends, YouTube has disappointed me again having no complete episode, save for the song sequence.
Elemetal mint's Davy Jones Locker 2 oz. Silver round, a more affordable wish list option on my stacking journey for the Santa who may be more budget minded than in previous years. To which I will be humbly grateful.😁
May the trade winds be in your favor this Christmas my friends! 🎄
