It’s all about a small medallion; a pendant that someone would have worn. This piece of silver means everything to the mission to find the lost treasure, even if we’ll never know who the pendant belonged to or why it would have been special to its original owner. There is so much history buried along with these hidden gems and artifacts.
There are certainly theories, including that it was a piece of contraband that Lafitte was moving through the area. There’s a chance we’ll find out more about this as Josh searches the plantation further for more hidden pieces of treasure and we learn more about Jean Lafitte.
