This is a beautiful time of year in the Palestine/Israel region. The usually barren landscape is covered with grass and flowers from the winter rain. So what better then to go out with some friends for a picnic. We brought along our grill and as I was getting ready to slice a chunk of beef to throw on the hot coals, I realised we had forgot a cutting board. Being miles away from home I decided to slice it on a large rock in the ground. As I dusted the dirt of the rock my jaw nearly hit the floor. Were my eyes playing tricks on me?? I have searched and searched before for many treasure signs in this historically rich part of the world and usually come up empty handed. But to stumble across something like this is an amazing feeling. I have no idea what it is supposed to signify or what it means so I will let the pictures do the talking. Experts, please chime in. For reference it is about 7cm long and what I believe to be made from lead.
