    Do you have it soaking in olive oil Dave? It's bugging me, I want to see it again... if you've been messing with it. As I imagine you have.

    I admit I'm a scraper, a peeler... lol I love to peel old wallpaper off plaster walls in Victorian homes, the shedding skin off my pet snakes and iguanas, the nail polish off my toe nails, you catch my drift You must think I'm very wierd right now.

    Reguardless which variety it may be ,that is absolutely an awesome find that most of us can only view in pictures from a magazine,and you actually dug it makes it that much more impressive.cograts on your historic day.
