" its coming to the end.. then theres just muddled up words which dont make no sence :-/

    thanks for looking

    Try looking at the paper with a UV light, you may see all the writing. Great score.

    That might be the very last thing some fellow wrote before he came to his end. Don't shrug it off-that is very special! Take it to an expert-certainly it's worth far more than the metal and stone. The story could end up being as fascinating as of "Otzi the Iceman".
    It's just a suggestion. But it could make you semi-famous in a way that brings $Paid Interview$.

    Very neat find Jimmy, not often you find a letter that is still partly legible after being out in the elements for 2 centuries!
