                Don, I'm using Edge mate, with windows 10. it seem to work fine for me. I had a bit of a problem with the iPad using Safari, it seemed to 403 on every post, So I stick to the desktop using Edge. If anyone has problems posting pictures, they can email me or PM me, and I will attempt to put them on site for them here are two more of Dave's helmet pics, it's amazing the condition seeing as its been in the ground for nearly 2000 years.
