    Hi everyone,

    Just wanted to share something I found that helped me get better pictures of tiny marks. I found a Leuchtturm mini digital microscope. Not sure if anyone remembers the gold washed goblet I was trying to identify a few months ago, but this is the marks using the digital microscope device:

    Great photos.:)
    We got there in the end, but with this wonderful digital microscope we would have seen it straight away.

    Great results Mr. Nate ! Did you find a cheaper version of the Leuchtturm, the one I found on Amazon was $219.53 ?

    Pretty sweet! If Mr Nate is still selling professionaly, his scope is a legit business expense.

    I bought a really cheap one with mixed results. Having trouble getting the focal length right sometimes. Think I need to get a stand for it.

    A stand would help.
