Oz wrote in message ... Gordon Couger writes Freshly knapped flint of the right kind would be sharper than any steel blade could ever be and hold its edge a great deal longer. I have found arrow heads that were still pretty sharp after being in the ground hundreds of years. Swap you a flint arrowhead for a low denomination roman coin (rather corroded due alkaline soil), or a musketball? note the change of subject heading, might be worth getting Jim into this one, he will doubtless be able to hold forth on the virtues of hammered silver pennies etc :-)) -- Jim Webster "The pasture of stupidity is unwholesome to mankind" 'Abd-ar-Rahman b.
