Hello to some of the old timers on the Earhart Forum.
I was looking for something in search and came across a post in the forum with my name on it dated 2002. Has it really been that long?
Anyway, it is great to see that a few people from those days are still active and there are so many new members excited about the search.
For any recent members, the post title refers to an experiment I conducted on a tropical island some time around 2000ish that involved painting some numbers on a wooden box, and leaving it on a tropical beach then returning over the course of a year and a half to see whether the sextant box found with the bones on Niku might reasonably have belonged to the Electra.
The marsupial reference is self evident.
Cheers,
Th' WOMBAT
