Valens Legacy Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Great finds and great saves. The rings look a little odd, and the coins are nice. Time to just pick a spot when driving around and start detecting with luck like that. Good luck on your next outing and stay safe out there. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(He once got lucky finding some silver but we can't read much about that anymore.) I prefer Erik's luck! Oh, you say you can do research and get lucky too? haha WTG Erik. Go grab some more history.

CPT_GhostLight Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Way to go Erik, those are awesome finds! I wonder if the roots of those newer trees brought long buried items closer to the surface. Congrats on your well deserved treasure finds, well done! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old photos of this part of the island show a forest along this bay right up to the beach, but there may have been a small clearing here a hundred years ago.. The landscape is very different now and I'm forever having to imagine where people would swim/picnic in the olden days.. That's the way to do it. Looking forward to what else might pop up as you re-imagine where past people activities took place on the island that are less than obvious now because of the changes in landscape and structures. Beyond the tourists and holiday goers, that island has a rich Aboriginal, European Settler, and WW2 history from what I have heard from you and read about. There are more surprises and treasures to be found. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
