My last, first and today’s hunt of the year. It is frozen hard here, yesterday was 20F/-6.6C and today was just a little warmer if you can say that at these temps, LOL. I have been doing some researching, exploring and forest detecting. Found a few good signals in the forest that I could not dig as it was frozen but most of the forest floor I’m able to dig, junk that is. Explored a few beer/vegetable cellars around a castle built in 1107, didn’t go too far into them. I called my detecting buddy but he is down with the flu chewing on antibiotics. There is a maze of cellars at one point at the base of this castle, looks like a long hallway along about 10 cellar rooms. Most of it is caved in. I remember climbing through the caved in parts into intact rooms many years ago but never detected them. I may give it a try as long as I have someone on the outside just in case. This picture is inside a beer cellar, not a pretty site with the trash, most do not have any trash in them, and the front or topsoil of this beer cellar slid off the rock and has mostly blocked the entrance.
The entrance to a well preserved beer cellar, these cellars are 800-900 years old.
I walked into the first room of this beer cellar, very dark, this is the picture with a flash of the second room, must have over exposed.
I found this whatsit New Years Eve.
Another view.
The manufacturers trade mark on the whatsit.
Found a small wooded area with original cart roads today coming off the castle. There are three roads, one a little higher than the other running parallel to each other. I did not expect to find the cart roads although, I was looking for them so I did not have my camera and it was a bit of a walk to get into the wooded area. I found 2/3 of a horse shoe, more like a pony shoe as it is small. I hope that means good luck as I could use some, LOL. Here’s the horse shoe and a small locket piece I found New Years Eve with that whatsit. I found a small 2” aluminum screw top can New Years Day that had nothing in it. The finds are not great but it is fun getting out! HH, Mike
