Friends,

"Hidden under a stone-like accumulation of sediment thrown up by a
nearby spring, archaeologists using metal detectors found a necklace
made of 130 beads of semiprecious stones and gold, a scarab, an agate
medallion of Babylonian origin and a silver pendant with an engraved
crescent moon and pomegranates."

Best, David Christainsen
