Where the objects were found was proof of excavation. Nobody could just wonder around in these tunnels. The Templars were charged with finding these artifacts by a relic hungry church. Don't forget, they did carry a part of the True Cross. Also don't forget I have pointing fingers in various paintings as proof!

As Charlie posted above: "But isn’t this relic matter a little overdone? We find a piece of the true cross in every old church we go into, and some of the nails that held it together. I would not like to be positive, but I think we have seen as much as a keg of these nails. Then there is the crown of thorns; they have part of one in Sainte Chapelle, in Paris, and part of one also in Notre Dame. And as for bones of St. Denis, I feel certain we have seen enough of them to duplicate him if necessary.

I wonder how they authenticated this 1000+ year old piece of the 'true' cross.
