And now back to the purpose of the thread….

885 posts and still not one piece of evidence ever posted proving any treasure ever existed on the island.

Lost the Internet for a month (and telephone for 10 days - gotta love "the sticks") and switched providers. Did they find anything yet?

That new copper piece they found looks interesting. Tribal or something.

I don't know about that. I have boxes of such copper slaw from when I was detecting heavily. It doesn't look terribly old. Industrial age is my guess since the copper plate is so thin and decoratively embossed. Older stuff tends to be more substantive. Those who claim a gorget or some other military plate are seriously jumping the gun. Such an attribution would be pretty easy to make if you ask me. It looks like common detritus. Some of the nicer copper plated junk I have are early stove ornamentation. They can be quite nice. 999 times out of 1000 it's junk, and not some earthshattering theory proving evidence of what one might be fantasizing about. On OI much seems to be proof of something fantastical.

Makes sense.

I’m always fascinated by how quickly they jump to a conclusion about an item.

They make that blacksmith guy do it all the time lol

Anytime garwee finds a new “bobby dazzler“, a new storyline is started about age, how the object connects to the templars, European royalty, etc. and then they move on to a new storyline the next episode.

What is your opinion on wooden timber frames dated 1740, found 100 feet beneath the surface?
