  1. #1

    My best find!

    I' M still figuring out how to post my finds on this site. Using my iPad. Hope this works and you get to see my most beautifull find ( untill now )

    I found this bronse dagger just a few miles from my house. this beauty is over 3700 years old!!
    After showing this to the provencial archeologist we decided the museum was the best place for it. Hopefully you'll get to see this!

    ( corrections on my englisch grammar are welcome! Best way to learn 😀
