    Just think how precious that one needle must have been to someone and we go through them like its nothing. Really fascinating.

    I love learning new things. I used to teach my students a bit of archeology using a penny. Asking them to tell me what they could about the "people" who might have made them as if they didn't know they were pennies. It was fun.
