The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
For this quest, you need to find one of these items: [item=168223], [item=168234], [item=168235], [item=168236]. The most common I found was the [item=168223], there are multiple lying on the ground (or in the oil) around 78, 60.
If you struggle with this quest, it might be because you were looting from your mount using [item=152813]. If you were and can't loot anything from the objects, you need to abandon the quest and pick it up again.
EDIT: Added three more items that give credit towards the quest, thanks to chaostorm for pointing it out!
If you're having issues with this quest due to the Monel-Hardened Stirrups, you don't have to remove the buff, just abandon the quest and make sure you're not mounted when looting the item.

What to do
Description
Before King Mechagon claimed this island, someone else lived here. Buried beneath this filth and garbage is the history of a forgotten people. With your help, we shall learn about these previous inhabitants. Sir Finley has marked a location where he's seen unusual artifacts. Meet him there and see if you can discover any clues.
