A pair of detectorists discovered a hoard of coins buried in a cloth or leather pouch around 50 cm deep.
The coins are thought to have been taken as spoils during the conquest of Britain between A.D. 43 and 47, and then perhaps distributed to Roman soldiers as a reward for a successful campaign known as a donativum...

A 120-year-old Casper Wyoming police docket was found in a thrift store and donated to the police department for public display.
Casper, Wyo. - A rare and historic police docket for the City of Casper dating back to 1904, was recently uncovered at Rescued Treasures West Thrift Store.
This artifact offers a glimpse into Casper’s rich history, and was discovered by Assistant Store Manager, Scauti Hillman, who immediately recognized its significance. Hillman say’s "I saw what it was and i just knew that it was just such a significant piece of history for Casper."
A police docket is a log used to record daily incidents, arrests, and other activities by law enforcement. This particular docket offers a glimpse into the early days of Casper’s history. Hillman explained, “It was definitely amusing to read some of those descriptions of crimes back in the day.”...
I regularly searched thrift stores for old and collectible books back in the day and found some pretty good ones, including an extensive book on Spanish coins and an old leather-bound atlas.

When I awoke last night the thought that came to mind was, "WOW! That was quick!"
I got old. It seemed so sudden.
I didn't even realize it until one day I looked at a photo and wondered who the old man was. Turned out, it was me. I never saw myself as old before, but there it was staring me in the face.
Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night as I often do. I love the silence and darkness. That is when the inner light shines brightly. The spotlight of awareness is turned inward. As my mind jumped around, I quickly visited the 50s, 60s, 70s 80s 90s. 2000s, 2010s, and part of the 2020s. I've been to those times and places before.
I thought decades were supposed to be long periods of time. But they aren't. As I look back from this point, they were quick. Now it seems that years pass as quickly as weeks or months once did.
History is richly and uniquely experienced by individuals in the making, then it becomes second hand, third hand, fragmentary, conceptual and symbolically reconstructed, even for those who desperately try to reconstruct it.
I enjoy revisiting the times I've experienced. The way I see it, those times never left. The are still there.
Robert Penfield, many decades ago, by electrically stimulating various portions of the brain, elicited vibrant detail memories. That suggests that the memories are permanent. The problem is not one of storing memories but of accessing or recalling them. That is a different way to view it.
It seems to me that experienced time is collapsable. You can go back and visit the 50s, or 60s, or whatever. I imagine it as awareness sliding back and forth along the sequence of time.
I like the line from Pink Floyd that goes, "Thinking is the best way to travel." That is how I've seen it for a long time.
It wasn't a new thought or sentiment for me. I saw the same thing in Peter Pan, which I watched on black and white TV as a child traveling through the fifties. I undoubtedly couldn't verbalize it the same way then, but I resonated to it at some level.
As I've said before, I still have the coffee table under which I drew in pencil a big pirate ship manned by many mates climbing the ratlines, sword in hand. That table as it sat in the living room of my father's house back in the fifties is something of a compass rose from which the cardinal directions of the rest of my life are determined.
I thought of getting rid of that table once or twice, but the thought quickly passed. I could still with some trouble crawl under the table and look at what my drawing, but the little boy is still there, and I don't want to push him out. I'll leave him to his play.
