WOW! I would love to have found those coins.

About 20 years ago, on a trip to Denmark we were visiting a castle near Copenhagen. I am an avid arrowhead collector and always watch the ground when I walk outdoors. We were strolling around the grounds of the castle and I found a flint tool, very much like the ones I have found in south Texas.

i would think there has to be a fair finders fee else nobody would ever announce they found anything and simply sell it on the black market...

Yes I still have it....... someplace. That means it probably got mixed in with a box of south Texas arrowheads and flint tools. I still remember what it looked like and I will make an effort to find it.

I always wondered where all those lost jacket buttons ended up. Maybe someone will discover where all the orphan socks go—guess they’ll be harder to find since a metal detector is no good..........
