Thanks. I think just not handling it, setting it on a stand is the way to go. it's a stone Indian axe head with a hairline all around. Not so much fun since it would be more fun to be able to pass this around and take it to show family, etc.

Wondering what/if I should do anything with an artifact that has a hairline crack around it. Sometimes doing nothing is the best policy. Sometimes prevention works, too... Any suggestions? The piece isn't broken, the crack itself is smooth.

Yeah, it's not in pieces. But I'm just afraid a hard knock might cause more fracture. . . and all the rest of the consequences. Perhaps just find a stand for it.

stunning stuff

I'm a tennis player and a squash player. I used to scout out goodwill.com for tennis racquets. Not because I wanted to re-sell them, but because I'd like to own some of the earlier graphite frames, some classic graphite. Listed at goodwill.com was a bunch of squash racquets, protective glasses...

Wow. all I can say. Fan of George Washington, the United States, silver, coins/tokens, and old stuff.

I'm a lay Dominican, the order named after St. Dominic! Catholics don't buy and sell relics and your best bet is to ask the local Catholic Church if they would like to be their new home. I like the holy water font. We have one at the back door. It's dry now since we stopped going through the...

To me, this looks like a hunk of flint from which smaller pieces, a fair number, were hacked, and not just the result of hard knocks here and there. Found in a stream bed at a geological level where flint nodules should be expected to be found. another shot of the same, different angle: A...
