I watched it last night, very entertaining. The family from Black Swamp find came across as sincere and the real deal. I'm happy for them!

The only thing I would like to note is regarding the forger. I don't think I can believe anything this convicted felon says. He stated that PSA used one of his autographs as an exemplar. Really, why in the hell would anyone believe anything this man says? About the only thing I believed coming out of his mouth was that he was in charge of running the sports betting and gambling ring while in prison and had 16 people working for him. He is not rehabilitated, and just like a drug addict, will be back to his same way of life within a couple of years. I don't guess that actually getting a job ever crossed his mind. According to the detective, his father reached out and stated that he had told them to stop doing the forgeries, but they didn't. The mother was complicit. I think everyone involved should have been sent to prison, not given probation that several received.

The conspiracy theories around the Black Swamp find, in my opinion, is nothing but bull crap. I for one celebrate the find and wish nothing but the best for the family.

Since "The Curse of Oak Island" wasn't shown last night, this served as a good filler.
