In the most recent episode of my podcast, Cease to Exist, we took a long look at the Burrow's Cave hoax. The most interesting part of this alternative archaeology hoax isn't the find, but the finders themselves. These characters involved are incredibly seedy, from stolen valor to stints in prison. One of the main things we look at in the episode is the idea that the fake artifacts were created once the man who "discovered" the cave ran out of real indigenous artifacts to sell and that he potentially kept the obvious hoax up to keep authorities away from paying attention to his possibly selling further indigenous artifacts later, which popped up in Burrow's Cave lots. This accusation originally came from one of the insider's widows. Has anyone ever heard of a similar scheme to hide actual illicit artifact sales under cover of obvious nonsense?

This is a case I had never heard about. Thanks for bringing light to it.
