    Here are some pics my wife just took of me whilst restoring some ancients. These are candid shots and actually show me in "My Study" down in the basement. I'm wearing my custom laser lighted hat. Great for close-up work, LOL :D

    You can see that great numismatic discoveries are just fingertips away... :rolling: :rolling: :goof: :goof:

    Finally, a name with a face.

    BTW, you have one cramped "study" in your basement. I guess it all works in the end.

    That LapTop has a LOCK on it, LOL she's mine :D My connection to the universe... And, did you notice the site www.wildwinds.com on the screen?

    As far as the "Rare Discoveries", well I'm currently going thru some culls. The really good ones are in a solution of Hydron Peroxide (H2O2), others are in a bowl of water with a touch of Boric Acid (H3BO3). The really rough ones are in vinegar.

    Time will tell.

    Ben,those are cool photos of yourself with a laptop in the background.I used to play with Matchbox cars when I was a kid.They are among the best things ever to have been made in England.I think there are some avid collectors of them.

    Is the telescope for looking at coin collections several blocks away? :)

    Wow, I second that. I'd like to paint that. The colors of the trees and the sky are very nice.

    It must be nice to have a basement. Here we were just glad we didn't hit the water table when we put our pool in. Found alot of common sea fossils when it was dug and it made me wonder how long it will be when all this will be under the ocean again and speaking of ancients it makes me think about moving to Athen's.......... Athens, Georiga that is.
    Thanks for another glimse into your world Bonedigger.
