If you had managed to remove that wobbling rivet from the big piece at the exhibition, that would have been a real "steal" (no pun intended). Not many people (maybe none) could claim to have had a rivet from Titanic, and had you held onto it and sold it, it could have brought a lot of money I assume.
I don't know if I would have the guts to try and remove it, but I wonder - was it really that loose that you thought you would have a chance to remove it? I would be looking all around me for security people. Wouldn't they have cameras all over the place?
It still would be cool to have a piece like that, at least I think so. If they could sell rivets from Titanic, I bet they would fetch thousands of dollars. Anyone agree?
