My most unusual find ever.

[Ed_DE]

I was detecting a house & barn that was last occupied in the 1940's. I was scanning the walls of the barn & got a good single. After removing some loose stone's I saw a metal box wrap in a plastic bag. My first thought was that it could be a box of coins put in the wall by someone that lived there. The box was locked so I pried it open with my knife.

What I saw in the box was a Tibetan prayer wheel. The plastic bag it was wrapped in had a date of 03/07/23 on it so I know the box was placed in the wall recently. I decided to put the prayer wheel & box back where I found it in the wall.
Who knows maybe putting the Tibetan prayer wheel back where I found it in the wall will give me some good karma and I can actually find a box full of coins.😀

Good Karma coming your way. Finding a box/jar of old silver or even better gold would be amazing, agree.

Wow ... how cool is that - congrats on the very unique find !
The extra bonus is that it was in the box and well protected from any damage.

Have you checked the geocache websites?

I have come across geocache while metal detecting and there used to be a geocache near by. They always have some type of tupperware container that's sealed but not locked and will have a log book the searcher will sign. The geocache container are hidden but left in the open.

I wonder if someone stashed a piece of stolen booty. It seems weird to hide it in a wall. I’d put it back too.

Have you seen Annapurna Cafe’s prayer wheel? The Broadway Himalayan restaurant reported the wheel was taken earlier this week:

Prayer Wheel Stolen: Hand made Tibetan prayer wheel Stolen from our front entrance, we need community help! It might in garbage bin, a bush or in alley, keep a lookout any information please let us know. 206-320-7770. Thank you.

Annapurna has been part of Broadway for more than two decades. CHS visited with owners Roshita Shrestha and Sujan Sharma here in 2023 as they celebrated 20 years of business on Capitol Hill.
