I walk past a coin shop in Chicago every day that sells ancient coins and whatnot. Find one in Italy, it's no big deal. Valuable, sure, but not that much.
Take that same coin found in Italy and bury it in the mud in Oak Island, though, and HOLY SHIT LOOK WHAT WE FOUND!!!! An expert dates it back 1,000 years. Well, sure; it's a thousand years old. Doesn't mean the producer didn't drop it in the mud while the cameras weren't rolling.
I do hate being so cynical, but there's a reason for it.
