Trying to compete with shows like Diggers and every other worthless
Reality show now on the market
Go to eBay and search out for WW2 German, you will find pages of dug
relics coming from overseas , Latvia and Poland
To name a few along with total fakes reproduced and sold as original
items. They are flooding and feeding the internet market
As we speak .. Antique dealers that sell Cemetery military metal
service markers as well are in the same league  ..Grave robbers!

What's happened to the folks at NatGeo? Has some kind of reality-TV
brain-eating virus infected their staff?

Ouch. Does anyone else think these two statements are compatible...?

" Untold numbers of soldiers and their weapons remain buried across the
vast landscape of World War Two's Eastern Front. Three war diggers are
racing against time to save this history from being looted or lost."

"No period of history is left untouched. Kris has dug up Iron Age
relics, Roman coins and lots of WW2 / Battle of Britain artifacts,
including regimental badges. It was only through metal detecting that
Kris became obsessed about the history that surrounds all of us."


They do provide a page on their site about "Responsible Metal
Detecting"... 
http://natgeotv.com/za/nazi-war-diggers/responsible-metal-detecting
but I don't see anything about professional archaeological methods, or
where these finds will end up.

Does Latvia have unusually lax heritage protection laws...?
