Piece Of Christ's Cross Found?

From the Detroit Free Press:
Archaeologists working at an ancient church in Turkey think they’ve unearthed a piece of the world’s most famous cross, the one used to crucify Jesus.
They found a stone chest during excavation at a 1,350-year-old church, and the chest had a number of relics inside believed to be associated with the crucifixion, a historian at Turkey’s Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts tells the Hurriyet Daily News.
“We have found a holy thing in a chest,” she says. “It is a piece of a cross,” and they think it’s from the cross.
The entire chest is now undergoing lab tests, reports NBC News. Researchers aren’t sure who owned the chest, but it was probably a religious person of some importance, and that person apparently believed the cross relic was the real deal.  http://www.freep.com/article/20130802/NEWS07/308020050/Piece-of-Jesus-cross-found-in-Turkey-archaeologists-say
And after examining the piece of the cross, they took it to the Pawns Stars to have it appraised.
