Theodor Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 (edited) Here are mine, older then history! Thousands of years BC. In total age, I mean counting back from present day, according to a friend archeologist these may be easily 8 thousand years old! My favorite is the small black tool, a piece of art, so sharp on the front and so smooth finished! Edited April 14, 2006 by Theodor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WAR LORD Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 This is a spinning stone. It is hard to date, but is aprox 10000 years old. In the period of the crusades if these were found they were treasured as good luck tokens. This was found in Kings Lynn in about 1905. It has been mounted more resently.

Ralph A Posted April 15, 2006 Share Posted April 15, 2006 O Ho! All's fair, eh? All right, then... straight to you from the "Big Bang," one meteorite from a ga-zillion years BC. (I dug this myself from a known meteor crater in Charlotte, NC, about 35 years ago. There is a K-mart now sitting atop the fill.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
