A Medieval Rarity
Many of us dream of finding handfuls of gold and silver coins, but every so often a find is made that is not made of gold or silver but is equally (if not more) important and of historical interest.

Danish Bronze Age Vulstringe
I must confess that I’m not exactly sure what the Danish word Vulstringe translates to in English, so perhaps it is best I explain – Vulstringe are in fact large bronze rings from the Danish Bronze Age and it has been concluded that they were most probably used as ankle adornments.

Most of us have heard of the popular phrase ‘A lucky sixpence’, but just why this small coin should have been considered to have this almost magical quality is most intriguing. Having found quite a large number of them over the past six years, my interest was piqued, so with a little research I’ve found some rather interesting facts.

Bob Izumi's Real Fishing
ONTARIO FISHING ADVENTURES
Last winter we did a special feature profiling several fantastic fishing resorts in various regions of Ontario. The article was so well received that we decided to do it again, with a new group of lodges. All of this year’s destinations provide top notch fishing for multiple species, they’re relatively unpressured and they are easily accessible by car. From high-end, full service resorts to more laid-back fishing camps, each of these locations offer a unique fishing experience. If you’re thinking about where to go for your next fishing getaway the following pages feature Bob Izumi's profiles of some the trips he made last year. Hopefully they will give you some ideas on where to look for a fishing trip that is sure to meet all of your expectations.
