    Found a clever and interesting relic today

    Hey Diggers,
    I was back at the 1600's siege site today and found part of a coin purse. What's unique about this coin purse is that it has a latching feature I've never seen before. Most coin purses I have seen have a simple friction latch that you squeeze together between your thumb and forefinger when closing. This one has a threaded latch that when turned, tightens an internal bar which keeps the purse from being opened accidentally. I just thought I'd share that with you because I thought it was very interesting.
