i'm rich..... not

on friday, i was just minding my own business, digging in my square,



uncovering mud bricks



and philistine bichrome pottery sherds



when something shiny caught my eye



and i asked my area supervisor if it was anything special ... apparently i'm not familiar enough with gold jewelery to realize that ... i had just uncovered a 3,000 year old gold earing from the late bronze to early iron age.



if i find its missing pair, do you think i can keep it?

that's my birthday present, right? i know, I normally go for silver but I'll accept gold just this once
(remember - I have 2 ears so I'll need you to find the matching pair... not wanting to pull a Melissa from thirtysomething :))
