Since you are an authority on Texas history, swr, then you are familiar with the fact that The Order of the Lone Star was a secret organization that was greatly responsible for starting the successful Texas Revolution with Mexico in 1836. This was one of the motivating factors that resulted in the creation of the Knights of the Golden Circle in 1854. The Knights Templar also used a five-point star as one of their symbols hundreds of years before there even was a "Texas". True history is never wrong. "Mainstream" or "traditionalist" history is often wrong, usually intentionally so. Finding masses of buried treasure is not that important to me but correcting mistakes made by later-day "historians" is. Like I've said many times before: I am a treasure hunting and metal detecting hobbyist.
