BUCKET LISTER finally! Got out with Todd Hiltz & Dave Lowe today to some deep cellar holes.Dave was keeping track on his phone and we hiked 9 1/2 miles to 4 different cellar holes.all the sites were hit pretty hard but we were diligent and worked hard to get what finds we did..near the well of one of the sites I got a iffy high tone.dug down and a U shaped piece of iron popped out.figuring that was the signal i covered up the hole.swung over the area again & sure enough still a high tone in the hole.I have been wanting one of these for a long time & finally got one.a wax matrix seal with what appears to be Athena Goddess of Wisdom and War etched in the glass.also got a counterfeit KG II copper it rang 28 VDI in the hole and 37 out.was a death march but so worth it in the end.Thanks Dave & Todd!

That's an awesome matrix. Congrats on a major bucket lister man.

Also thanks for posting a pic of the wax impression. Wayyyy cool
 

Man that's a gorgeous seal matrix, and so is the impression in the wax. I would say the hike was absolutely worth it!
 

That's outstanding. Congratulations on a bucket listed! Thank you for sharing this one.
 

That is a very cool relic...congrats!
 

That's a great bunch of finds. Great to find an intact seal I'd like to see that in the banner. You have my vote
 

Dave, that's a cool find. Congrats on adding a matrix seal to your collection. WTG, Q.
 

Nice that your first is complete!
 

Congratulations on your finds. It's always cool to recover a skeleton key, but the Wax Seal takes the ribbon. Banner

thanks! was nice to finally add one to the collection
 

Good job on the finds.
 

Still on my bucket list. Great save!

A lot of these seem to have a loop at the top. I wonder if they are ever found with a chain though the loop?

VPR
