Lets try again - I found six of the eight coins near old Hadeeb's place. There must have been a tent or shelter nearby.

Nice. I also found a the same snake clasp but the buckle on the neck was rotten away. There's some strange conspiracy around that item, it's meaning and origin.

Had a nice day on the farm, I found an object that was destined for the scrap bin. Luckily one of the village elders intervened. It just goes to show – you cannot beat experience and age. The object was a calf weaning device; the device would be fixed to the nose of the calf. As it attempts to suckle the lid would push the teat away. See the half-moon/boomerang shape artefact.
