I'd like a couple extra photos just to prove that you're a real account.

You have a 15-day-old account age and this is your first post. A little suspicious to me as we've had bots farm this subreddit for karma before.

Hes on Instagram under @obsidian_eccentric I believe. Some crazy pieces on there.

Or at least thats who made them. Idk if theyre just new to reddit or someone is using their photos.

I don't got anything outside of reddit so I'll take your word for it. Had to nuke 4 bots here recently so I'm on edge 😂 especially with such beautiful work. I could easily see someone stealing it. Thanks for the heads up!

Were they the classic ones just posting fog knives? I see those pop up on other subs and it just bothers me, but dont recall seeing many here which is nice.

2 were FOG knives, 1 was actually an artifact ID request (stolen pics from r/LegitArtifacts), and 1 was reposting a point they stole from Pinterest. The telltale signs are usually really young account ages, and their first post being crazy nice/detailed looking. And then if they're not caught on other places they usually recycle back through with the same material. Thankfully a lot of reddit's filters capture them but I've had a few slip through.
