You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

I remember going around town as a kid, coming home with something weird, and telling my parents I, uh, found it too. Yeah. Let's go with that.

"It fell off a truck" works too. Except when it doesn't.

Very cool. My brother finds lots of really old arrowheads when he goes out, but he's actively looking for them so that's a bit different.

As for my luck, I went walking yesterday and my shoe found a rusty screw. :/

You never know what you'll...find...when traveling through isolated rural areas.

Poor guy. Had his sword stolen, and got bashed in the face. Rough day.

Where I live, you can't help stumbling over Roman stuff. When I was a child, I did a lot of digging in our garden. It was easy, since the house was still under construction, since dad used to add a little something every couple of years. What I found was mostly nails and a few remnants of glass flagons.

My town has been a Roman base of the Limes Pannonicus. Nobody knows how it was called. But we know the units stationed here.
