What would your best realistic find be

[49er12]

you have an idea of history in your area which can determine coins and or relics found. Im thinking even before our early map of 1860 here there had to be something else why not, didnt people before us have anything of significance, im thinking only along the coastline or close inland should have the most, foreign ships the easiest way to come, how many years later did folks venture more inland, nobody had anything Indians or, anyone have opinions.

give us an example

I have found everything I ever dreamed of except - A Spanish Reale.

Probably Sir Frances Drakes Plate Of Brass, Or anything from his Voyage would be fun.
I have a theory that Drakes real landing was here and not the spot reported. It fits with his logs, stories and renditions of Drakes Bay.

When you said '

best realistic find '​

I was in it it with both feet. Tandy radio shack, the four sixes -- I been there!

Now, I think, perhaps maybe ... not what you meant

The Temple Menorah captured by Rome.
5.3 feet high

Took eight Soldiers to carry it into Rome.

I'm going to start the bidding at 1 Billion Dollars.😁

Anything that solves a mystery. Somthing far out of place. Or what ever them people were digging for of their fathers next door when they went crazy.

All we have to do is find out which stories are truth, not wild goose chasing. Yeah bye the way how do we find out whats true and not as far as lost treasures or buried stuff. To many dam fictional stuff hate that.

Excellent point.

I think there has to be some real supporting documentation. The 1715 fleet, well documented the ships were lost at sea along the Florida coast. Howard Carter calculated there was a missing Pharaoh based on the timeline, Tutankhuman. The Cooper Scroll found with the dead sea scrolls.

Second, does it make sense. Would someone bury something so deep it could never be retrieved. Why did they bury it or lose it in the first place. The whole buried treasure is a tough sell to me. There needs to be a dang good reason to bury something and never come back to retrieve it. Some coins in the back yard, yes. Millions in gold and silver, then never tell anyone exactly where it is. To me, Not likely.

Like Moses Ark it was most likely destroyed. Probably melted down and turned into weapons. Unlike the Ark pieces might still be out there. Yeah, That Menorah is Toast.
The Ark is far more intriguing.
Pretty sure pieces of te Ark have been recovered. Probably found broken up outside Israel near the Red Sea. Destroyed by the 587 BC Babylonian Raiders. It never would of made its way back to Babylon. The Babylonians thought it was cursed.
Probably striped of gold and dumped in the desert. Actually I think some of the pieces may be secretly hidden in Saint Catherine's Monestary on Mount Sanai. At least that's the rumor. Probably recovered in the last 50 years or so.

Probably still a few pieces of the Ark floating around out there, still though.

😁
Yeah, No way the Babylonians dragged that thing back home with them. But where in the desert was it broken down and left in pieces?
🤔😁

Well, unlike the ark, that we all know the Nazi's tried using and melted like candles and then it ended up in an army surplus warehouse in New Mexico. Probably still there.

I think the Menorah was taken by Alaric during his plundering of the city of Rome.
Then he lost it at sea off the coast of Italy.

But if that at there. Something is.

I have found almost everything someone could wish for. I think now my best find would be a ww2 veterans wedding band he lost 9 years Ago. May 21 2025 he will be 100 . I would LOVE to give it back to him on that day

I doubt it, The Romans hated the Jews, Something as big and bulky as that. They just melted that down,
For clarification on the Ark.
The Ark & the Tablets are 2 different things. The Tablets full or partial are probably on Mount Sanai in Saint Carolines Monestary.
As Far as "The Ark" the Container I gues it is possible after the Tablets were thrown in the sand, they could of loaded it with other plunder for the return to Babylon. If it still exist partial or in whole, the winged angels on top would probably be broken off, and the gold inlay shaved off all the wood. Who knows it may of been used as a Plunder Box in some palace for awhile? Probably Toast.
