Stamps discusses the results from his scientific analysis of more than 1,000 artifacts from four different collections of items comprising the Michigan Relics or the Scotford-Soper-Savage collection. He examined clay, copper, slate, and stone artifacts. He concludes that they are 'modern artifacts.' He lists some of the different evidences for fraud and speculates on possible motives and means. He contends that 'this fraud was probably the largest perpetrated on the American people in history.'
