There won't be any precious metal on this one. This would be pure history.

No way! They'll place all the bits where they belong in a scaffold, and build a mechanical Christopher Columbus that will stand up and say things like 'This is one of the ships we used to open a new dawn of native exploitation' :eek:

J/k. It's awesome.

Yup. Excavate over the next couple of decades and build a nice museum in Haiti for all to see.
