ALREADY MID CONVERSATION. I USED
TO KNOW A GUY THAT WOULD DIVE
LOCAL LAKES AND COME UP WITH
PEOPLE’S WEDDING RINGS AND
KHARKIV IS AND YOU KNOW, LOST
VALUABLES AND ALL KINDS OF
STUFF. I LOVE THE ENTIRE CONCEPT
OF TREASURE HUNTING. OH WHO
DOESN’T? I MEAN, IT’S SO
EXCITING RIGHT TO FIND SOMETHING
NEW AND PEOPLE DO IT ALL THE
TIME. PEOPLE LOVE TO METAL
DETECT. OF COURSE. THAT’S A BIG
THING. YEAH, I STILL WANT ONE OF
THOSE YEARS OLD. WELL IF YOU
BRING YOUR KIDS TO THE EXHIBIT,
THEY CAN PLAY AROUND WITH METAL
DETECTORS. SO THE EXHIBIT IS
ABOUT TREASURE HUNTING IN A WAY
, WHICH IS NOT TYPICALLY
SOMETHING MUSEUMS FOCUS ON BUT
IT IS FUN, RIGHT EXHIBIT HAS
INTERACTIVE THAT RELATE TO IT.
KIDS CAN FROG AROUND WITH METAL
DETECTORS. IN A BIG SANDPIT.
THEY CAN PAN FOR GOLD, WHICH
WE’RE LOOKING AT HERE ON THE
SCREEN. THERE YOU GO. YOU SEE
HIM? YEP THERE WORKING AWAY AT
IT RIGHT THERE. THEY’RE OPENING
A SAFE. WE TALK ABOUT HOW SAFE’S
WORK AND YOU CAN TAKE A CRACK AT
CRACKING A SAFE THERE AS THEY
TURN THE WHEEL THERE, YOU SEE
HOW THE PINS AND DIALS WORK EVEN
IN IN MY HOUSE. WE BOUGHT OUR
HOUSE IN 2000 AND EIGHT AND
THERE’S LIKE A SECRET ENTRANCE.
THE ADDICT THAT I FOUND MY WAY
UP TO, AND I ONCE I STARTED
RUMMAGING AROUND IN THERE. I WAS
FINDING I FOUND IT AS A STAR
WARS EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
CORKBOARD FROM 1980 THAT WAS
STILL INTACT. UNLIKE IT’S JUST
FUN TO UNEARTH THINGS, AND IT’S
REMARKABLE HOW OFTEN IT HAPPENS
. ONE OF THE COOLEST PARTS OF MY
JOB IS PROBABLY ONCE A WEEK.
I’LL GET AN EMAIL FROM SOMEBODY
THAT’S REFERRED TO US THAT I WAS
DIGGING IN THE GARDEN AND I
FOUND THIS ARROWHEAD OR
LITERALLY PEOPLE HAVE FOUND
REALLY INTERESTING STUFF. IN THE
WALLS OF THEIR OLD HOMES,
DINOSAUR TEETH, SHARK’S TEETH
ALL I CAN SAY WHAT DID YOU BRING
IN HERE TODAY? VISUALLY HERE?
WELL WE HAVE A COUPLE OF THINGS
FOR YOU, IN ADDITION TO THE
LARGER INTERACTIVES THAT YOU SAW
ON THE SCREEN, THERE WE HAVE
WHAT WE CALL THE SCIENCE STOP.
WE HAVE VOLUNTEERS WHO ALSO
WORKED WITH OUR GUESTS. AND THIS
LITTLE GUY HERE WON’T FIRE HIM
UP AND RUNNING BECAUSE HE’S
AMAZINGLY QUICK. BUT THIS IS A
REPLICA OF THE MARS ROVER. AND
KIDS CAN DRIVE THOSE AROUND. YOU

THING. PEOPLE LEARN MORE ABOUT
