Was introduced to this by one of the team on Rampart Scotland field school - I loved it, and now stock it on Past Horizons. pocket sized power and price. Great for ceramics fabric examination, Geological analysis and close up osteo work.

and it comes in a leatherette pouch ... mmmmmm!

I bought one, and the clear plastic bit round the light end of the lens was broken on arrival. It's not worth the trouble sending it back as a spot of glue should fix it, but it's something to look out for.
Otherwise...I haven't yet put it to archaeological use, only had a look at some coins and things on the desk.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
