TheWoWDBThis quest appears to be bugged. The water puddles disappear at about 75% and then the status bar resets to zero. Good job Blizzard!

To many people trying to do the same quest I think Blizzard didnt even test this quest out. I will wait and do it when others are done lol.
This has to be one of the worst Quests ever. It is either buggy as hell, server lag, other people screwing you or all of the above.

Description
Great job on that small find! Now, are you ready for something big? More often than not, shaking up the small stuff will shake up something even BIGGER just below the surface. Another little rumble, and we'll have a major find on our hands, I can feel it. A major find works almost the same as the smaller ones with a couple extra steps. Why don't you tackle this one too? It'll be good practice for ya. Don't worry! I can guide you through it.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

We've got a find on our hands! Looks like this might be one of my books from undergrad. Hah! Now, your job is to get all that dirt off of it, but you have to be careful.

- Technoscrying 101
Through a near-perfect blend of technology and arcane enchantment, I have developed a way to analyze the psychometric properties of objects. Wearing these goggles, you can see the data as dynamic simulacra! Simple, yes? I call it...
