Zane - Since you found those shards in that killer hole I wouldn't consider that a crier, them's lucky shards!

Julie - just proves you can find some cool stuff in newer dumps, if you feel like editing that post, click the embed picture in post box, cuz i"m lazy[]

Joel - thanks for the kind words, I would like to make one of those resin tables someday.

Ron - Cheers to you! like your idea, and I'll appear stupid, what's an unguentarium?

Marjorie - great thread idea! thanks for the fun.

Unguents were medicinal salves. These are some of the oldest styles of carrying vessels and were used for most everything. Nice vessel Baers.

Nice one Ron, now that's an oldie! We've been watching the HBO series ROME and they haven't been too accurate with the glass. A few cobalt blue pitchers looked like they were blown by the Clevengers []

Since my flight to paradise was snowed under till Monday I dug out my camera and shot a few of my favorite greenies (well, ok a few "sorta-greens" too. Teal is a flavor of green ain't it?). Happy St. Paddy's Day all!

Hey Ambly...

Well, Sean, I haven't chatted with you since I can't remember when... Good to see you posting a few lines on the forum now and then!!![]

You still diving? How's the Conn River... is it iced in still or is it diveable? How's the visibility? Are you comming up for the bottle show on April 1st?

Anyway, would love to chat with you about doing some diving. Get back to me.
