@Sallent - you and @Aethelred both like telescopes and ancient coins. Y'all should chat, if you haven't already. Too bad you can't join our...
I very casually collect fossil shark teeth, but I don't buy them. I only "collect" them in the field, so to speak. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I believe these came along since the last time I posted here. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Oh yeah, I forgot I added a piece of gold...
OK, I have seemingly been "beaten at my own game" by someone younger than my oldest kid. I can deal with it. No, really, I can. That isn't...
PS- speaking of giveaways - this summer I resolved to try doing one every month. I just realized we are halfway through September and not only do...
Thanks for the thought, but I already HAVE won stuff here. And received surprise gifts. @Nathan401 just sent me a pretty stabbed coin out of the...

OK, it is time to announce our winners. Using the random.org random number generator, I have drawn five numbers (excluding duplicates and posts...
Both look Choice AU to me. The rim on the Irish piece looks to have some irregularities- perhaps I'm seeing discoloration there as well? I'm...
Don't enter me, but I tip my hat to your generosity.
