..is that where I left them!
Maybey the egyptians were also into metal lathing gold; its swarf, ..or they were having a hard time making springs for thier solid gold alarm clocks..
You never know with the ancient ages, they astound me with what they could do back then.

+1, especially in countries that are poorer/don't look after their historical sites very well etc.
I was over this time last year, UK has so many areas that would be great to look over. I'd also recommend eastern europe, I remember my dad saying they would find heaps of WW2 stuff through the 50's and 60's. A lot of wealthy and/or well educated people also burried their belongings/loot during WW2.
I travelled through Serbia last year and sifted through a sandy stream up in the hills (by hand). Dug infront/under some rocks and there were some gold flecks in there. Wish I had more time and some equipment!
King Midas pubes maybe.

Good luck over there. I have family so free accommodation and they live in a 300+ year old house. I'm keen just to do the yard.

did you take a metal detector or just sifting? anything could be anywhere because peeps were walking all over the continents for WHO KNOWS HOW LONG...Zorgs said:
which means anything could be anywhere, in any bush/forest, by any try, under any soil which is breath taking.
here in aus is different
thats cool. and wow 300years is also breath taking. you should make some time to go for a few weeks, could find one coin that pays for the trip.Ramjet said:
i have quite extensive family in uk, and was born there myself. moved to australia when i was 2 with my parents brother and sister. have been back twice in my life, however metal detecting was non existent to me and i was young.
id love to tackle any forestry, reserve over there with high hopes given the time and commitment
My mum is British. Most of her d amply are still there.

D amplys aren't welcome here, so just as well.
My mothers side of the fam are from Norwich, England. I remember her always telling me about the marine bombs still on the beaches, grenades, ammo etc that they played with while children over there.
Turns out one of my uncles at the local playground found a booby-trap spike that shot out the ground and stabbed his left eye making him blind for life.
