11/15/25 Report - Recent Find at Bonsteel to be Identified. Last Minted Pennies to be Auctioned. Cranial Tool Found. Biblical Find.

 Written by the TreassureGuide for the exclusive use of the Treasure Beaches Report.

I received these photos and the following message from James.

... I am a retired police officer in Kentucky and took up metal detecting as a hobby 13 years ago when I retired.  Recently I was in Charleston SC for my daughter's wedding and figured I would after the wedding drive to the Treasure Coast.  I had never detected there before.  I only had two days to detect.  I was in the Vero Beach area.  On the second day I detected north of Bonsteel Beach access and found this.  I almost put it in my junk pouch but looked like it had a design on it so I figured I would check it out more when I got back to the car.  That is when I thought I saw the cross sign and thought maybe I have something good.

Do you still have a forum on the internet that I could follow?  I am hoping to make it back down that way again sometime this winter.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Have a great day

James

Does look like a cross.  A little cleaning might help.

The hand-held artifact was found at Łysa Góra, a Celtic site in the Mazovia region of central-eastern Poland.The trepanation tool, discovered this spring in the same part of the site as the helmet, is even rarer than the helmet, according to Kaczyński, because only a few of these surgical tools have been found at Celtic sites. This particular implement, which features a blade that transitions to a spike and was probably originally fastened to a wooden handle, is a type of ancient scalpel...
