Cool vid Willy. Shows you can get a lot accomplished walking softly and carrying a big stick. I'd like to get a printed copy of their journals.

Pretty cool, I had no idea an air rifle existed in those times.....wouldnt want to be the guy though that had to pump it back up 1500 times .

Takes 8 1/2 minutes to watch... but definitely worth it. Thanks for sharing.

Totally awesome.. Thanks Willy.

(On a different note, just to be nitpicking, I was shocked to see that the narator/curator was not wearing gloves. The oil and acid from the fingers does real damage to old items, and that's why whenever you see something like this where an old item is being handled you always see the curator wearing white cotton gloves).

(And yes, I used to be the Operations Mgr. for the Newark Museum, so I know what I'm talking about.)

Simply a great piece.. loved it... Thanks again Willy
