Title: Waiting for the Storm Winds in South Wales
Post by: Nick Harbud on Jul 06, 2026, 11:58 AM
This lucky detectorist (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwy0ln9y63jo) discovered his hoard after a storm blew away sand on Margam Beach.

As only 25% of the ship's cargo has been found to date, Dave will doubtless be watching for a similar storm further east...  ;D

NB...for the benefit of non-Brits, a 'jasper' is slang for a wasp (not a reference to a member of the Tudor / Tudur / Tewdwr family).
