Wonder what this is about.... maybe a gold coin cache :Smiley

Dream on, mate. Most likely it is a surveyor's benchmark that has been moved because someone else thought it was an "X marks the spot" treasure location. Just for giggles, look up how long it takes to make such a mark on a stone using hand tools. A mark like that would take hours to etch into stone.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

good think you found that "X" in South Africa and not in the Philippines. (btw, enjoy seeing the pictures of both you and Xavier).

Peter, you might miss out on the Yama-lama-ding-dong-all-the-livelong-day treasure! Just dig down 100 feet until you find cement.

Knowing it and acting accordingly are two different things. I'm sure our Professor Dumbledore will find a way to transmutate the face on the coins.
