Definately not worth milling though .... An old Oak trunk on the river bank near Tarr Steps on Exmoor

[eagleye]

saw that last year when we went to devon

does anyone know what's it all about out of interest

[Greg]

There's another one at Ingleton falls. Don't know what its all about though.

There all over the place, sort of cairn or wishing well I think.

I have no idea what it is about either ... maybe it is ART ? ... I banged a few coins in anyway !! Why not start one near where you live , and see what happens !! I might do that myself come to think of it !! ( coppers only of course being a poor woodcutter ! )

Thing is there no longer copper, or at least very little of it, many of the coppers now rust away very quickly.

I saw that in Lake District too, old butts studded end to end with coins.

It is a "wish tree" the superstition goes along the lines of knock a coin in when you are ill and you will magically get better, take a coin out and you will become ill. There are 6 or 7 of them at Port Meirion.

Yeah, dig a hole, fill it wih water and some fool will throw their hard-earned into it.
