<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 712702, member: 4552"]There is a program on TV called History Detectives. Recently they were asked if they could find out something about a coin that was in a lined wooden box and bent as if shot from a gun. The story was that it was shot by Annie Oakley at the Wild West shows put on back in those days by famous old West famous people. Naturally as it turned out after much investigations, shot by Annie Oakley or not just couldn't be proved. It was a coin that had been shot by a bullet was sort of authenticated by a gun expert but that could have been by anyone. The box it was in could have been from anyone at any time in the last 150 years and the same with the lining. Without Annie Oakley standing there saying I did that, impossilble to prove. </p><p>Proving who had what, when and where on anything without a name on it is really a problem.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
