In the late 1960s I read about a lead cross carved with Latin script and found in the SW somewhere. Barry Fell stated that the inscription appeared to be botched-together fragments of the Latin mottos of various noble families of Europe, thus modern; it had been carved, then inserted into a custom-dug spot in the caliche, which is an accumulated layer that had been cited as evidence of the cross' antiquity. That said, I don't have any confidence in debunkers, because they work out of a priori assumptions 100 percent of the time.

The evidence is the evidence. What’s authentic must meet certain criteria and what’s fake is sometimes easy to ascertain because modern investigations can expose a lot. That makes most debunking a relatively easy job. If they think a priori that something is fake, it’s probably because it has red flags obvious to the trained eye.
