Very cool. The only thing I snag and bring to the surface are twigs and branches.

I am a big fan of edged weapons and have a few old antique blades myself. I hope the Government at LEAST gives him a plaque in the museum when the sword goes on display. I am going to offer a couple of my antique blades to the Marine Corps Museum when the time comes to reduce my collection. ;)
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.

I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.
