A Piece of WW2 Naval History

02/21/16

<p><strong>In March 2013, I took my new CTX 3030 to an old school site in country NSW.</strong> This school was open from 1900 to 1953. After a short time I located a nice target not too deep. I dug the target up and found what appeared to be a nice copper plate or saucer. After closer inspection I realized I had more than just a mere copper plate! I could see a nice bird emblem, an anchor and scroll. Then I saw the name. It was a plate from one of the most famous battleships of WW2, the HMS HOOD!! The HMS Hood was sunk by the infamous German Battleship Bismark.</p> <p>From my research it would appear to have been sold as a souvenir from the ship prior to the war. By far my most valued treasure!</p>
