For example, the Vinland Map was determined to be a modern forgery because of the high amount of titanium in the ink (MUCH more than the small traces found in some of the VMS samples). 

Not to split more hairs, but this statement is not really accurate. 

Barabe made clear that there was actually MORE than "trace" amounts of titanium in (some of) the VMS samples.  It was not the quantity that differentiates the Vinland Map test results and those of the VMS. It was the specific form of the crystals that revealed it as Titanium anatase -- the form of Titanium dioxide that did not become commercially available till around 1920.
