Met die onlangse buitengewone springgetye wat langs die kus ervaar is, het die see amok gemaak, en ook duine uitgekalwe. <\/p>\n

Die see het as\u2019t ware huis skoongemaak en allerhande rommel uitgespoeg. By Kaap St Francis het daar ook \u2019n verandering op die strand plaasgevind. Hilde Kuc<\/span>era van Jeffreysbaai en haar dogter, Christina van den Bergh (wat hier kuier van Gauteng af), het strandlangs gestap toe hulle op lae bourommel afkom naby die ligtoring, wat klaarblyklik al jare tevore daar toegewaai is.<\/p>\n

Vind \u2019n vonds<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hilde (met BA graad in argeologie en\u2019n klipliefhebber) en haar ewe entoesiastiese dogter, was nuuskierig om \u2019n opvallende \u2018klip\u2019 te ondersoek. Dit blyk toe \u2019n rooi dakte\u00ebl te wees tussen ander bourommel wat in lae uitsteek waar die see sand weggespoel het. <\/p>\n

Hilde vertel: \u201cOns weet nie of dit verband hou met die bou van die ligtoring nie. Daar is geen ander geboue in die nabyheid nie. Die bourommel is waarskynlik daar gegooi, en het toegewaai met sand. Dit kan ook moontlik ook rommel van \u2019n skip wees. Die hele hoop is ook toegegroei.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOns het dadelik probeer kyk of daar woorde op was, en grawe toe vir meer. Ons kon nie sonder die regte gereedskap te diep grawe nie, en het maar met ons hande uitgetrek wat ons kon,\u201d vertel Christina opgewonde. \u201cEk was so opgewonde om op iets interessant af te kom! Ons het die beste stukke wat ons kon vind versigtig uitgehaal en huistoe geneem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Navorsing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tuis het Christina (\u2019n rekenaarprogrammeerder) dadelik navorsing op die internet gedoen. Dit kom toe aan die lig dat die te\u00ebls uit \u2019n vallei in Marseilles in Frankryk kom, waar daar \u2019n paar fabrieke was wat te\u00ebls gemaak het sedert 1850! <\/p>\n

\u201cDit het my uitstappie sowaar baie opwindend gemaak \u2013 om iets besonders en betekenisvol te ontdek. Ek hou van navorsing en om die oorsprong van dinge uit te snuffel,\u201d vertel Christina.<\/p>\n

Hulle sal met verdere navorsing die te\u00ebls aan die regte plek besorg. <\/p>\n

Hoop op nog skatte<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christina s\u00ea sy loop altyd kop onderstebo op die strand op soek na iets besonders. \u201cMy droom is om eendag \u201camber gres\u201d op te tel. Dit is \u2019n waardevolle bestanddeel afkomstig van sperm walvisse wat vir parfuum gebruik word. Op die strand sal dit soos \u2019n klip lyk en is moeilik om te identifiseer. Dit kan verkoop word teen 40 000 dollar per kilogram!\u201d<\/p>\n

Hilde s\u00ea sy sal in haar noppies wees as sy nog klipwerktuie uit die steentydperk kan optel. \u201cEk het al heelwat op die strand teen die duine op Jeffreysbaai opgetel. Daarvoor moet jy \u2018n geoefende oog h\u00ea.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sy s\u00ea \u2019n paar jaar gelede het familielede anderkant die rotse geduik en op \u2019n diepte van vyf meter op \u2019n skeepsanker afgekom en dit uitgehaal. Dit is een wat deur plaaslike vissermanne gemaak is deur \u2019n vorm te gebruik. Dit is aan die Skulpiemuseum op Jeffreysbaai geskenk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
