"New" thimble discovered at Jamestown.


They have found this copper-alloy Nuremberg thimble at the Jamestown dig. Of course it was corroded with that green stuff that builds up on copper. A lot builds up in 400 years. But they removed that with some acid and little. . . well. . . not elbow grease. . . knuckle grease?
"It's definitely the best thimble we've found at Jamestown." YAY! Check out the cool video (partly thimble-related) at Dailypress.com.
