<p>[QUOTE="Marzena, post: 829260, member: 10447"]When I was a kid, I used to look for all kind of "treasures": including fossils, flint tools, old, almost irreversibly destroyed books and newspapers, also broken porcelain bits. It was a time without internet, so after every "find" I was running to the nearest library to find more about. It was the most exciting part of the search. If we talk about antiquities, I feel very the same. I've started this journey just few months ago, and it's amazing how much you may learn for so little time ( of course I am still at the pretty first level), and the most valuable thing for me is the knowledge about what I hold in my hands, the story which it has to tell me. I suppose, that maybe with time, when I will more demanding, and when all my life space will be filled with these oldies, that than I will think more about the value just from pure practical reasons, but now, I look at them in a very tender way, as the source of knowledge, not necessarily the museal one. Thank you all![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
