Have any items of clothing been
found? |
We’ve found durable clothing items such as a zipper
pull, snap, and button. Back in 1940 Gallagher also looked for such things
including coins and hair but found nothing. Clothing deteriorates very
rapidly in the heat and, unless sheltered, in the intense UVs of the tropical
sun. There is also the fact that the crabs tend to go off with stuff. We
learned early on not to leave our socks to dry on a bush. Rats and birds
are known to be attracted to shiny objects and hair is great nest making
material. The bottom line is that it’s an environment that cleans
itself very rapidly. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found what we
have. |
