Comment on the find situation!

Some more pics.

A trip to the Regional Archives in Gothenburg yielded some very important documents from 1797...

I'm happy to say — mission accomplished! I can't show any photos yet, but two days of digging have revealed the small but complex ruins of a tryworks here on Lilla Askerön, once used to produce herring-based oil — and, importantly, fertilizer. Tomorrow the archives await.

Exciting!

Is it the Mediterranean? No, just the sunny cliffs and clear waters of Bohuslän. The drone photography indicates that there are no submerged sections of the maritime ruin. The day has spent clearing it — I'll share that once the picture is more clear.

Gotlandic fossils are amazing. Whole island is practically one big coral reef!

In a shocking development, the newfound gold artefact has been determined to be — a recent fake. Saddening to hear that someone would go out of their way to try and trick the cultural heritage authorities.
