Debuting for a sixth season on Monday, June 30th, HISTORY DETECTIVES investigates the viewers finds and treasures. This season close to 30 items will be investigated by the four History Detectives, all looking for the bottom line. "Is it the real thing or fake".

The coin shown in one treasure that will be investigated. According to the story --"A 1853 French Napoleon coin with a bent, split edge and a great bit of lore that suggests the coin was shot by Annie Oakley, the sharp-shooting star of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show."

Sounds good, but is it the real deal? Watch the show and find out!

Today is July 3 and am just now getting this newsletter so your heads up on the PBS show is worthless. Why not send these kind of announcements sooner… Disgusted with this newsletter…

Even if you received advance notice of the airing of History Detectives, you still would have missed it. As you don’t even know what date it is. IT IS JULY 2nd, NOT JULY 3rd!!!!!! This is a great website!

Hey, Disgusted: Don’t despair. Even if you had known, you would have still missed History Detectives–as you don’t even know what day it is: IT IS JULY 2nd, NOT July 3rd! This a great website, not deserving of morons like you!

Alice, Sorry you’re disappointed, but it was posted on Friday on the web site.

Also, that was only the first episode, so you now have plenty of advance notice of the second episode next Monday. And knowing PBS, there will be plenty of reruns coming up.

Alice,
Sorry you’re disappointed, but that link has been up since last Friday.

Look at it this way, you have plenty of advance notice for the second episode and I’ll bet PBS will have reruns of the first episode that you can catch!
