engraved hearts

	Brian, I'm afraid you're the one who is missing the point. Of course creolegirl is under no obligation to share or divulge anything. Kindly note that I have already stated in my last post that I will not press the issue. So why berate it? And I think it unwise to refer my attempt to clarify the situation as "carrying on". As for starting a new post, I have asked a few questions before and received no replies. Seeing as cerolegirl had done analysis on the engravings, I thought it was possible that this could be a ready source of information.

Hay Guys,

This is a little odd that you do not see something here.

When an expert looks at an artifact, he is using all his
expertise to analize the object.

When he gives his findings, he will not take you by the
hand and give you a ten year course in identifying artifacts.

I had a 10,000 year old artifact authenticated. He merely
said it had a nice patina. Well I did not even know they
had patinas.

I sure can not tell you how he knew it was real.

You are looking for an experts answer from an
admitted non-expert.

Fair enough?

Fair enough,

Tabdog

Tabdog, it still makes more sense to start a new thread asking for advice on how to determine the age of a stone carving than to insist that someone tell more details about a specific set of carvings. Hobbyist should start a new topic and ask his question. Easy.

Hobbyist, there are two GoldDiggers here One is Goldigger (Brian) and the other is GoldDigger1950 (not Brian).

	Reply #40 has been duly modified to address GoldDigger1950, and not Brian. Apologies for the error. GoldDigger1950, no it did not make sense to start a new post. Had I done so, someone would have probably said "It does not make sense to start a new post because Creolegirl had already stated she had such engravings analyzed. Why don't you ask her? Don't you know how to hit the 'reply' button?"

Don't be silly. Of course I know how to hit the reply button. In fact, I use the quote button more often than the reply button so I don't make the same mistake you did by mis-identifying someone. This way you can be sure I am replying to you and not Brian.

	It also does not make sense to start a new post when there was a potentially ready source of info here.

Her topic is not about how to determine the age of carvings. Yours is. Start a new topic and nobody will be on your case for anything since it will be your topic.

	In any case, I did not "insist" on anything, like you are insisting that I did. I've moved on. You should do the same. All is moot now because the deadline is past. As I am loth to re-type too much and did not save the PM, Tabdog please feel free to reproduce the PM I replied to you which explained my urgency, if you wish. Thanks.

You did insist. You repeated your request despite her avoiding your question. Nobody has any obligation to answer a question.

Rather than ask her - not an expert, as TabDog noted, start a new topic and look for experts. As a newbie to this forum, I am trying to help you get the attention to your topic that you need. The subject of this topic is "Engraved Hearts" which some people may have chosen to ignore for their own reasons. When you start a new topic with the subject of "Help: How To Determine the Age of Carvings" it may spark new interest in some and will certainly attract the experts. Trust me. Try it. Just humor me. See what happens. You are wasting a lot of energy trying to prove I am wrong instead of helping yourself.

	In any case, we shall see what kinds of responses I get to You are not allowed to view links. Please Register or Login http://thunting.com/smf/odds_ends/scams_circumvented-t6887.0.html;new#new . Judging from past experience, I am not hopeful.

I saw that topic and it is not the question you asked. In fact, it is more of a cautionary tale than a question. Why did you ignore my suggestion to ask about how one can tell if markings are old versus recent? You waste your own time by not asking. But, it is your time. Perhaps you never really wanted to know after all.

You really have a problem in reading properly don't you, GoldDigger1950? Refer to post #18. I asked for information on the method of analysis. If you bothered to read the link in my last post, you'll see the same request for info had been raised there as well. And are your feelings hurt because I didn't follow your wordings exactly? Or maybe you're just here to cause trouble by splitting hairs.
