<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 2877037, member: 10461&quot;]My father and stepmother lived in Israel for a number of years (in Haifa).&nbsp; They would sometimes go to the beach at Caesarea.&nbsp; I understand there are many rocks or pebbles on the beach there.&nbsp; Sea-tumbled old mosaic tiles (tesserae), too.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I remember one story, a friend of theirs went into the water with sandals still on her feet, and when she came out, there was a small pebble lodged in her sandal.&nbsp; Except it wasn&#039;t a pebble at all.&nbsp; It was a small, obviously ancient, bronze coin.&nbsp; I was given no details on the identity of the coin, but it was probably featureless anyway, if it had been in the sea and surf for millennia.&nbsp; But I enjoyed the story.</p><p><br /></p><p>In their house today, there are little dishes with those mosaic tesserae and pottery sherds and sea glass, as knicknacks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
