Still Waters Posted February 19, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2019 A couple have asked for help to solve the mystery of how a coin-studded tree trunk appeared on a south Wales beach. The length of a trunk is covered in battered British coins, all wedged into the wood. It was spotted by Rowli and Pat Rees during a walk in Mumbles, Swansea, near Blackpill. There is speculation the trunk could be part of a centuries-old tradition of 'wishing trees' - where coins are driven into a tree to bring good luck. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-47294290 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrover Posted February 19, 2019 #2 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Why not look at the coins? That'll likely give them an idea of age or origin. In fact why don't I go and look, I'm from Mumbles. That said this isn't actually Mumbles, it's about two miles along the bay in no man's land. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
