| 1942 Quarter Find. |
I've been mentioning a site that I hoped to hunt. It is very overgrown, but it was obviously the site of an old building of some sort. There are scattered remains of an old chimney. I finally got out to check it out a little with my detector, and even though there was barely room to detect between the trees and brush, I was still able to get some coins. They were mostly from the forties, but I suspect that there is older material there.
As you can see, the coins were not in great shape.

This is what most of it looks like. You can see the problem.

| Bronze Ring. |
RITTO, Shiga Prefecture--It took 20 years, but archaeologists reckon they now know the purpose of a bronze ring unearthed at an ancient site here: as a weight for measuring commodities.
That, in itself, may not sound exceptional, but researchers are excited because bronze ring weights have only previously been found as burial accessories in centuries-old tombs in China and the Korean Peninsula.
The artifact was found in 1999 during excavation work of a dry riverbed that flowed during the late Yayoi Pottery Culture period (300 B.C.-A.D. 300). The dig by the municipal education board also turned up earthenware fragments and bronze arrowheads...

You know that most reality TV programs are fake to some degree. You never see the film and production crews, which you know have to be there even though everyone, including the sellers, "acts" like they aren't present. That in itself misrepresents the reality of the situation.
I've talked about some fake TV treasure shows, and detailed a few examples, but am personally coming to a greater appreciation of how fake they must be.
The most important thing for a TV show is to get ratings - otherwise it won't be on. They have to get attention. One show that I've watched a good bit is American Pickers. On the surface it might seem like one of the more honest ones, but now there are web sites claiming that it is very fake. I won't even get into all the allegations, and I don't know how accurate they are, but you can read the allegations for yourself.

For me this isn't about one TV show or kind of TV show. There are much larger social implications, but I'll resist the temptation to get into that now.
