weathering i saw some weathering features which indicate age they don't look like somebody was trying to make fakes sell you stuff that wasn't what it's purported to be i saw some really good stuff there and stuff i'd like to take a closer look at but the one thing that really intrigued me is that one vase that appeared when i put the black light on it to possibly be um some type of

polymer or not natural, a man-made material.

I'd like to take a closer look at that.

I came to get my hand lens, but I realized I forgot the packet.

It was in my bag I use every day, but when I travel, I use trusty.

Um, and I forgot to put it in there.

So at some point we need to take closer look.

For sure.

Maybe when you come and we do the runestone tour, bring a few of those and we'll go to the lab and we'll stick them under the microscope.

We might be able to work out a deal to get another cast made.

Because when we took the runestone to Sweden, you know, for the exhibition and then up to Helsinglands, the museum said, well, okay, if we give you the runestone to go to Sweden, what are we going to display?

Well, it's gone.

And so I found an artist and he made a cast.

And we paid for the cast.

And we had four casts made.

Of course, we've got one.

And then Dick had one.

I don't know where his ended up.

We gave one to Henrik Williams, the moderator of that debate I was telling you about that got crazy.

And then the museum had one.
