| Dug Drowned Rolex. |
I was looking for some old finds and found this Rolex, which was my first. Unfortunately it was drowned. I hadn't thought of it for a long time, but when I found it with my metal detector years ago, it was an exciting find. Some early finds are replaced by more recent better finds.
The serial number, which you might be able to see in the photo is 6604893.

6604893 is a serial number from 1981, so it wasn't real old when found, but it was drowned at the time.
Here is the link for a Rolex serial number lookup site.

A man has been found guilty of illegally panning for Welsh gold during a trip to Snowdonia.
Brian Wright, from Oxfordshire, was found with a jar of gold dust near Dolgellau, Gwynedd, which he had collected on his trip last August.
The 65-year-old, who had denied the offences, claimed he had been showing an enforcement officer how to pan for gold.
He was fined £600 at Llandudno Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
Welsh gold has been used in royal wedding rings including those of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
The so-called "Dolgellau gold-belt" is said to stretch almost to Trawsfynydd from Cardigan Bay....

Welsh gold has been used in royal wedding rings including those of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
The so-called "Dolgellau gold-belt" is said to stretch almost to Trawsfynydd from Cardigan Bay....
Wright, who the court heard was on benefits, was fined £600 and ordered to pay £2,400 costs.
After the case, Dylan Williams, from NRW said: "Illegal gold panning has the potential to adversely impact the river ecosystem.
"The process of digging up of the riverbed and bank can result in direct damage to plants or invertebrates and fish spawning grounds can be damaged. The flow of the river can also be altered.
