hi all

really would like to see all the hoilday photos

happy searching

Is this a clue , could do with another one - spent winter looking at holiday snaps but no luck.

Weekends getting warmer now so old bike is "out of mothballs" any ready to take me any where (200miles is my limit)

So come everybody lets have some clues or ideas

[Batkaz]

Bank holiday w/end - spring weather- would to have a clue on this one.

[Toxophilite]

I have a strange feeling that this one may be connected to another search clue...

Rocks, grass/moss etc. - all looks quite familiar..............

I also think that this is pretty close to one of the other searches, maybe not the one that ScottyBot is thinking of but I've found pictures that are very similar. I'm probably wrong as usual but if not its a lot closer to sea level than where some people have been looking.

Can I check that noone has actually found this yet as I think I know where it is!

Also Batkaz do you know? was that a clue you were giving have you not found it yet if so!

I'm so positive I know where this is its just getting there thats the problem

[Toxophilite]

To the best of my knowledge its never been found, or if it has the story has never been posted.

It wasn't where I once thought it was.

Go for it, there's a lot of people who would like to know where it is, it may even be the Gold Coin that was never found.

I have been to a couple of sites, but no luck
I think that colin & tina first submission is a clue (holiday photos) !!
PM me if you need any help

So, have you had any luck on this one Silvermo13?

Had a wander around myself looking for this but to no avail (obviously), its fast becoming the Pimpernel of the Isis hunting fraternity.

Looks a very similar type of rock and mould.

Is there a structure on top that matches the picture ?

[Lodgecrest]

Are we allowed to post possible locations?

Yea go on this one is a bit dead anyway....

[silvermo13]

not sure on structure picture I've found looks like its taken from a completly different angle but if you take this difference in angle into account it really does look like this is the place.

I'm gonna ponda on this one for a while longer need to pursuade the missus that a mini break is the order of the day.

If I can't pursuade her -then if allowed I'll post the location of the compared to photo in the comming weeks.

[Toxophilite]

The reason I asked about a building is that a lot of people think that's a trig pillar at the top of the picture but if you enlarge it with a smart pixel resize it does look like a doorway in a white building with a person standing in it and a thinner black line to the left of it.

As Lodgecrest says this one is pretty old and it would be really good to know that someone has found it.

Best of luck if you go looking for it.

As this seems to have been going on for quite some considerable time with various people having a shot at it myself included,I thought I would have another look at it and see if I could breath some more life into it. I had originally thought, along with others that the structure was a trig pillar and unless you are a geologist, a lump of rock is just that, a lump of rock. My first outing was into the pennine hills to Blackstone Edge This was a fruitless journey, apart from the view of course, even though the trig was in an elevated position, there didn't seem to be a reasonable looking line of sight and apart from that the afore mentioned rock didn't look right either. This is where I left the search for some considerable time until a chance chat with Toxophilite giving me his twist on things sent me to the coast.

The idea was that there maybe a connection with other coins previously hidden in the North Wales area. The first place we looked at was on Anglesey at Llanddwyn Island,(+53° 8' 6.76", -4° 24' 55.75") a beautiful location, a couple of lighthouses,
some old light keeper's cottages, some other old and derelict buildings, but nothing that looked promising. I couldn't find that elusive structure overlooking a hole in a rock. One saving grace, the rock, its markings and surrounding vegitation was looking like it may be similar to what I was looking for.



A couple or three weeks later and it was off to mainland North Wales, to Porth Ysgaden, yet again another beautiful area, made more so by the glorious weather that day. There are quite a few structures/buildings in and around the various coves in the area but again none seem to fit the bill.



I took this photo as it showed very well the black coloured rock similar to that shown in the bottom of the clue picture, thing is though, this black rock was where the sea had covered it at high tide makink me think that the place we are looking for is around the same level.


Below is a picture of a cove used for one of the previous searches

This location does have some appeal if only for its beauty and I will certainly visit again. There are, like I said earlier, lots of little coves up and down the coastline so it cannot be ruled out as a possible coin site. It'll just take a good deal of searching to find the exact place.

The best of luck to anyone who takes this one on.


I hope Puzz reads this, at the very least it will remind him of a place once visited.
