Just a guy with a metal dectector, ancient lantern found , estimated to be 1700 years old ..

 

1. What makes this interesting to me is that despite a 1700 year difference, we still solve the problem of providing light the same way. That looks no different than my trusty Coleman lantern.

2. As I remember you couldn’t scuff the dirt with your toe in the UK and not uncover something Roman.  It was so cool!

4. Pompeii in October. I loved it. Actually, any part of Italy in October is nice. I also like Germany in the winter, even though it’s slippery and cold.. Any excuse for a shot of Schnapps at the local GuestHaus. Castles look nice in the snow! France? Never again, enough said.
   Just a thought…
