I got a heads up on this article from a list I'm on, and it's nifty information:

One minor problem with the article is that it straight-facedly states that the complete armour would weigh 175 pounds... let us hope that they forgot a decimal and it would actually weigh a far more reasonable 17.5 pounds...

Other cool sites with information on Jamestown Armour are below:

Lots of interesting information on Arms and Armour recently unearthed in the Jamestown area, and dating from the early years of the Virginia Colony.

Cheers,

Gordon

Very Cool, Lets hope the majority of it is still there as opposed to just the back. Hope the xray it first.
