Let me put it this way. Rob sold at least three anvils for one of the 
tailgaters just standing around explaining how happy he was with his 
like type anvil. I very nearly regretted listening to him tell me what 
great swedge blocks were across the way...but they ran out before I came 
back. So Rob is standing next to the exhibit and people start coming 
through asking questions--in less than five minutes he has a complete 
talk on the exhibit, the work that went into it, the original find, the 
difficulties archaeologists have with farmers digging stuff up (it was 
over that way...), the problems blacksmiths have with archaeologists 
descriptions...

No, it wasn't officially scheduled. Be extremely cautious of Rob ever 
trying to sell you something.
