Larry, I have summarised the situation here http://www.psephizo.com/?p=856 and here http://www.psephizo.com/?p=888 in a way which I hope is also accessible to lay people who are interested.
Thanks. These are excellent summaries of developments over the last week.
FYI, I’ve posted photos to my blog that I think show conclusively that the Jesus depicted in the “lead codex” purported to date to the 1st c. is a replica (of a photo published all over the Web) of the Mona Lisa of the Galilee mosaic.

Looks increasingly likely that the codices are fake after all. Apparently Mr Elkington has contacted others before with a copper codex with incoherent Greek inscriptions, which he claims was found in Egypt:

The plot thickens…
VERY interesting indeed!
