Hello again everyone!
I
still do not know how to express myself adequately. Before all of that, though, I want to sincerely thank Shawn for selflessly sharing
his polymathic knowledge of both
numismatics and artifacts through FAC. You may not fully realize it, Shawn, but an important place for discussion like
Forvm really needs someone with your expertise on small portable artifacts/antiquities. It feels like there are far fewer in that
field than
numismatics, which is understandable, but a shame nonetheless, because the amount of
antiquities posted here for
identification is not too far from unattributed coins!
I feel like I am a contradictory individual. I say, for instance, that I am not a "clubby person," and that I like to keep to myself, but here I am, in addition to being a member of several numismatic organizations (granted the moves all have interesting backstories). I suppose when I make up my mind about something, I stick to it. That is why I have come to consider
Forvm as containing a huge chunk of my extended numismatic family. You know who you are! As such, I will try to continue to do what others apparently feel I am
good at. Maybe there will be some surprises, too. We'll see. It depends on the farming season and the
health of my siblings and the rest of the family this year.
Thank you...thank you...thank you...! I really did not think this would happen.
Sincerely,
Mark Fox
