It's just my luck...the one thing that might be worth a little..I can't have lol. But I said that I'd be the first in line if they ever wanted to sell it. They were not planning on selling it though. I'll survive...on to the next.

Nice find!

You found it, you saved it! That part no one can take away! Congratulations!
Lots of times we don't get to keep stuff. We are calling it the "jarl baggage tag" named after it's finder!

Thanks Msbeepbeep. Yeah, it happens. I was keen not to get too embered up before going in...you have to respect people's wishes as you are a guest on their property.
