Apologies to all followers & contributors to this topic for this late feedback from my Kruger treasure hunt.
My wife had a medical emergency (very high blood pressure) which we thought might have been related to the Covid19 virus pandemic. After many medical tests including a CV19 test (both of us were negative) she is now on the road to recovery via various medications.
Yes the Krugers were not found despite my best efforts in the very short time-frame that was available. I now suspect that the Krugers may have been found by another family member (not using detecting equipment) who has not disclosed this to the other family members or it was after all just a family myth.
However I was rewarded by finding 2 antique kerosene lamps hidden in an old cardboard box behind a brick floor footing with only 1ft clearance. The owner gifted these to me for my Kruger efforts so I am happy.
Many thanks to all who gave me advice - very much appreciated.
If you ever find yourself down-under in Australia please PM me and I would be happy to buy you a beer or two 🙂
Stay safe & happy treasure hunting.
