As the lake's waves lapped gently against the grassy shores, they brought something other than the typical water and dirt up on land. The small, round objects that were swept on shore sported a good covering of mud and bore the dirt accumulated by the passage of time. Enterprising Hogwarts residents might still glimpse something of a glitter or a glint from the objects' surfaces from afar, for these objects were not entirely mud balls. Beneath the grime, the gold coins would sparkle in the spring sunlight. In their current state, only a small, uncovered portion of that golden surface would shine through the muck to hint at the objects' identity. Dare you collect such odd, old gold coins? If you have the guts to pluck them from the ground, what will you do with these curiosities? Or will you let them slumber in the obscurity of the lake's shores?

Headed out to the lake with her black journal tucked in her hand to muddle through on her training log (something that she was sure was ridiculous for her since she already trained quite regularly), she stopped short when something shiny caught her eye. Huh?

Dropping her planner at her side, she squatted down by one of the objects to have a look, unafraid to touch it, and rubbed the mud and dirt from it. Was this ... related to the treasures found in the Fall? And why all of a sudden the reveal of them?

"SpeRevelio," she muttered, figuring she should probably be safe. Just in case. Considering she did want to maybe study cursebreaking, if she got accepted.

He was halfway around the lake when he noticed something shining in the dirt under his soles. At first, he thought that someone had gone a little overboard with the glitter. But, at second look, it seemed to be some kind of metal. Squatting down to get a closer look, he saw that not only was it metal, it was a coin of some sort. And that it wasn't the only one. Could they be from the hoard that was found earlier this term?

He plucked a few of the coins up and performed a cleaning charm on them trying to see the image on them. Though, he probably should've thought about casting the charm that Skylar was now doing as well.....
Oooo, sudden coin windfall by the lake! What will Skylar and Ronan's spells reveal...?
