Great story of a lesser-known Wild West character. The caption above uses both Musgrove and Musgrave - those are two different families, among which were characters on both sides of the law.

I live near where they were dug up. I have been told how they were “discovered”…by a few of the local ranchers and what she said is no where near what the locals say. I have been told that the owner of the ranch KNEW exactly where they were but wanted it kept secret. The foreman of the ranch “discovered” them while digging a pvc water line and leaked it to the press. The owner subsequently fired him. How much of that is true…🤷🏼♂️…but that is the local scuttlebutt.

Her reaction when you asked her the question tells the real story. And then her explanation seems like the one she has been told to use. The ranch where they were dug is the same one Ft Saint Louis is thought to be on so those Spaniards didn’t drag them far and it is easy to see why.

How do you compensate the rancher that was in possession? I know that many people would, out of the sense of duty to Texas history, might would donate the pieces. But if they don't want to part with them, how do you bargain for these.

This is one of the greatest treasure hunts in HIstorical Archeology, a debate which raged in the field among experts for almost 300 years, solved only in1996 when the site of LaSalles's fort was finally confirmed by the discovery of these 17th Century cannons. The Museum of the Coastal Bend is unfortunately one of Texas best kept secrets, because of its purpose, collection and historical preservation. Dr. Para and the Director Sue Prudhomme are doing a fantastic job of telling the little-known history of the region. Can't wait to see their new exhibit on the Origin of Texas Ranching, which occurred in this area with the Spanish missions along the San Antonio River. Congratulations to all!

And the British sent their convict problems to America and Australia, mostly America. So don't ever let the British penal colony cover Native American history, indeed. Never let the colonist's white supremacist British / Americans control the narrative of history, especially when it comes to Native people of America and Australia. When a white army battles Indians and wins, it is called a great victory, but if they lose it is called a massacre.- Chiksika, Shawnee. "History" has hidden the fact from you, that the British sent More "convicts" yes people who took a piece of bread, to the American penal Colonies and for a much longer period than they sent to Australia. Many, Many more White people in America are related to convicts than in Australia. America today can trace their ancestors back to convicts or slave owners, then to Australia. Australia also Never had millions of African black slavery, Wars of Independence, Civil Wars, Wars against the French. And Wars against Canada, the Spanish/Mexicans, etc. The only reason Australia was settled in 1788 was that the 1776 War of Independence and the British could no longer ship out the "Convicts" which itself was a cruel and horrible thing to do to your citizens. Plus: Louisiana, New Orleans can be traced back...to a pudgy kid by the name of King Louis XV. King Louis XV, owned all of Louisiana and tried desperately to get his fellow Frenchman to cross the ocean and visit. But it wasn't happening. So to get some use out of it finally he starts shipping' over boatloads of French prisoners. Thieves, gamblers, prostitutes, murderers, pirates, gypsies, pickpockets, and psychopaths. Those were the pioneers of Louisiana. And the forefathers of towns like New Orleans. The US was founded with convicts from both France and Britain, yet Americans and Hollywood referred to Australia as a penal colony. It only shows the level of sanity it takes to be white in American. The Dutch Empire and Spaniards also dispatched psychopaths and convicts to the Americas. It's no surprise the USA was founded on treason against the British and betrayal against the French. And it was the French King Louis XV who gave the American men, weapons, uniforms, cannons, food & water. To fight the American War of Independence in which The British and the Irish fought each other's families and then considered themselves Americans.
