The note along with it says that it was personally blessed by Pope Pius XII in the early 50s. Another, a not four- but seven-leaf clover that I found when I was in elementary school. Couldn't tell you why but I was obsessed with 4 leaf clovers at the time, and I found a little cluster of patches on the outskirts of the playground that was a hotbed for them. I eventually tossed most of the 4 leaf clovers but kept this one. SEVEN leaves! Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benefactor KenDorney Posted May 1 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted May 1 I have many things, but no time to dig too deeply. While I sold my antiquities collection a few years back I did retain a few things, including my Pre-Colombian Bart Simpson: 9 3 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_spork Posted May 1 · Member Share Posted May 1 (edited) I've got this funny looking piece of green glass that I know was formed right around 5:29 AM on July 16, 1945 because it's a piece of Trinitite, glass made from the desert floor during the Trinity test of the first atomic bomb. It's not extremely radioactive at this point, and it's almost entirely alpha radiation that is blocked by the capsule I usually keep it in but it will still make a geiger counter make funny noises as the video shows below(sorry for my voice, my wife, son and I were stuck at home sick and I was playing with radioactive bits and bobs to pass the time): Edited May 1 by red_spork 4 1 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
