Good Find indeed

Agree that the best place for it at this stage is in the private collection of his own. Bietjie bietjie maak baie ;)

It was his first find, got the F4 about 2 to 3weeks ago. And I must say a mighty first find just enough to push the motivation to go out and be crazy like the rest of us haha.

Unfortunately pics will only be uploaded by the weekend, the find is with his son and he's only returning the weekend. Sorry guys :)

In the meanwhile I'm going to try get him to register ,

Its all seasand there. He found it in the sand. Apparently that part of the beach was undereater from what I could understand. I am awaiting gps coordinates to try see exactly where it is and to do dome research.

sorry if my spelling is bad. Got a new phone the  S4 and im new to the touch screen

Mike from treasurehuntingsa has found something simmilar that turned out to be a war utensil/toothpic(Or so everyone believes). The cap unscrew to reveal a cased metal toothpic fixed to the cap.

He joked about it:"How did they know it was a toothpic?, when they opened it the pick side of it still had a piece of bullybeef on it"

 :-X.............

As from what i heard he damaged the container (if thats what u can call it)  He battled to get it open (almost like rusted together) First took some vinegar to try loosen it but then i told him about the messaging service they used to use in olden days so told him might not be good idea as if it had a map or paper inside with writing on it could spoil it if the vinegar managed to get inside....... MY BAD!!!  So he kind of dismantled it with force and pliers he he

Im just as curious as you guys are about the pics .....Hes very quiet at the moment which i am almost 100% sure hes hunting there again to see what he missed... :P

The night he found it he opened saw the contents and his son was on the way to namib if I have the story right, he gave it to the son to test without taking more photos. His son is only coming back on the weekend then he said will take some pics to load. He's far away from his son its huge gap distance from what I understand
