Spear of Jesus 60 min. Examining an ancient artifact purported to be the spear used to pierce the side of Christ during his crucifixion, now kept at the Hofsburg Museum in Vienna, Austria.

I saw the ossuary one on History Channel last night. Seemed fairly well presented, although it seemed that some of the evidence I read in a thread here (the owners background in particular, and exactly how he came to have it) was omitted. And the presenters conclusions... well, I'll let you watch it.
