Some Aquamarine, Ruby, Sapphire, Garnet and rock specimens some of which date back at least 100 million years or more! Some are older or younger than others but I don't have the Carbon Dating equipment to check them.

A Roman something or another, 210 AD is the best we have been able to ascertain. I also found a counterfeit 1767 Russian Kopek. The Roman coin didn't get me as excited as the 1799 large cent I found this summer.
