Lost Treasure and Breakfast in Llano, Texas with W.C. Jameson, Laurie Wagner Buyer Jameson

We sat under the trees, listened to the birds, and ate huevos rancheros at the Badu House Inn this morning with two of our favorite people in the world, W. C. Jameson and Laurie Wagner Buyer Jameson. Had a great conversation about lost treasures from the de Soto expedition. As those of you know who read FIRE THE SKY, de Soto lost almost everything when he set fire to the native town of Mabila in 1540, including some spectacular artifacts, gold coins, silver and gold cups, jewels, and the golden chalice that carried the sacred host. No one knows where Mabila was, though archaeologists have ideas. W.C. Jameson is the author of the great book, TREASURE HUNTER, as well as over 60 books on lost treasures in America. He posed this question: What would you do if you found the lost treasures of the de Soto expedition? Worth millions, at least. Turn them over to a museum?
So…what would you do?
