FANTASTIC!

stories like this provide a wonderful counterbalance to the public's fears that we leave holes unfilled and rob tombs.

Great work, good on you!

Huge congrats!

On a side note...

The "outside links" rule, is not one from this site, not that I know of...

If the link is family friendly, and related to the topic, I have never seen a word said yet about links...

You made us all look good! Thanks for that...
