That's what they said about the Louvre and France's "crown jewels."
15,000 coins? That’s a Wale of a find!
Brits often make light of detectorists. a classic on this is”The Detectorists” on AcornTV.
Some treasurer was maybe crucified or run through for losing the cash?
I met a detectorist day before yesterday at McEuen Park in Coeur d’Alene, ID. He got a reading and was in the process of digging it up. I was hiking by and asked him what he thought he had found. He wasn’t sure, but said he had a good reading.
Really nice guy — a history buff like me. He told me about some of the great finds he and his friends have made at cavalry fort sites in the west. He’s found items at the old Fort Sherman site (1878–1900) in Coeur d’Alene.
So we have a wonderful 20 minute chat. I mentioned to him about all the finds I read about in your posts. He knew about “mudlarking” on the Thames River (you now need a permit!). A buddy of his went on arranged treasure-hunting trips to the UK, made friends, and was headed over to England today to join his friends on a hunt. The guy I met doesn’t like flying, so he hasn’t got to Europe or the UK, but he knew about many of the finds I read about in your posts.
Can't be too large or it would break or be too heavy to lift.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh! Dig all night and don’t tell anyone!
