        some maps from the 19th century.

        maybe something even older than that, can't think of anything right now though.

            Wait... haven't those hydrogen atoms in that water existed ever since the formation of the universe?

              Some of them, kass.

              But can you point out which ones?

              As for human-made stuff - an actual German courier's leather document bag from WWI - a hand-me down from a relative.

                  Simple. I'll just ask the oldest ones to raise their hands.

                    Hydrogen is not the oldest composite of the Universe.

                        Most of your water has been urinated by several million animals over the course of several hundred million years. I have no reason to be jealous.

                          a ring. family hairloom coming down from generations.

                          i resisted the urge to "acquire" a small colored stone that had been detached from an ancient "painting" which is made from very small colored stones (psifidoto) it was in a secluded small village. totally abandoned. it did not look 100% greek though. more of a greco-roman aesthetic.

                            ME! I have my grandmother's side board which is about 80 years old. We used to eat Sunday dinners at her house and we would put the food out on the side board.

                            I"m not sure about the age of the this we think it goes back to Louis the 15th. My mother while antique shopping in Germany found these two dueling pistols that were filthy. She bought them for $25.00. We took them to our local gun smith when we got back to have them cleaned up when we went to pick them up they were in the safe. He said that's the time period he believes there from. He had several people come by from the gun club to look at them and they all seemed to agree.

                              Some other cool coins i've got:

                              I've got a few Vichy coins from WW2. These are neat, first of all they are made of tin or aluminim (someting light) because of rationing. Also it is neat to see how the Vichys changed Liberte, Egalite, and Fraternate to something more Fascist sounding.

                              I've got coins from Italy, Norway, France (1920, 1923, 1942, 1947), India (1985, 1965), Canada (1938), Turkey, Israel, Bahamas, West Germany (1950), Spain (1940, 1966), Hungary, Some Unidentified Arab Country (1960), San Marino, Bremuda, Greece (i think), Mexico, Netherlands, UK, and South Korea.

                              Anyone want to send me a coin from their country?

                                forgot to say that this psifidoto was in an ancient bath tab

                                think of a large pool with the psifidoto in the bottom of it. on opposite side theere were two small buildings that looked like twin temples.

                                pretty cool
