Dug 'SS Viking Ring'. - 07/15/2020 03:58 PM
So,, Besides me going to 20 or so digs in the mid, late 90s in Ukraine and in Poland and not believing in impossibilities even if up from the ground,, we have this..
Here is a U Tube of a guy digging and finding a SS ring. A "Viking SS ring"
Well,,I can tell you with 100% certainly this is not true. All BS. . There are gullible collectors that trust everything a digger has to say and show. They might start out good,, but eventually they go to the dark side.. And will swear on their own childrens graves [recently happened on WAF] their BS wares are good!
Most diggers DO known when to quit digging. The ground only has so much in it. The ones that continue , they will start to add things to the victory garden. OR worse,,they will get items from a friend digger who is not honest. These honest diggers believe their old buddies,,but the love of the money drives them to blind belief or outright dishonesty..
So there you go,,it is possible to have a honest digger with fake, fantasy pieces..........
* So, click on this site:
* Go a little past middle,,it is at 6:15 sec. Meaning,,at the bottom you can move the point along the red line to the right and when you get to 6:20 have a look.
At first I thought it funny.. But it is not.. Collectors use these idiots for a provenance. This is total BS.. NEVER believe an item just because it is ground dug...
Guys like this have almost ruined the hobby to a point of no return and deserve the worst things that could happen to them ..
