A Metal Detector Led This Hobbyist To Uncover Something He Never Anticipated

More Markers

The cave was absolutely covered in the triangle images, etched into every crevice and wall Mike could find. The symbols were hauntingly done, almost like they had been crafted by shakey hands. The markings were leading somewhere deeper in the cavern. It might not have been the safest idea, but Mike knew he had to follow them to learn the full story...

Calling the Police

Finally, after a trek, MIke came across something that made his jaw drop. Though he wanted to keep the treasure to himself, he knew it had to be public knowledge.  As an avid member of the metal detecting community, Mike knew his find was too big to keep to himself. Before he went any further, he would have to contact the police and let them known what was going on.
