The Reluctant Investigation Winding wind trails testing
tips of Morrison shale.
Clover touches at river turn
allowed by stilled inside
of diverting meander.
Indian treasure signs brought
now to sight
On boulders dropped from above.
Giving up what cost a king his hands
and his queen her last kiss upon them.

Monctezuma's treasure, believed to be the trove the Mormons found that helped
to weather their "nation" through the Great Depression.

An interesting reasearch piece. I am not sure whether your intent is to laud the thoroughness of the finding or the proposition that anyone (oh yea that is going to happen) would have returned the treasure had they discovered it.
I guess, to presume takes from the effort. Morrison Shale was a nice touch!! Finally; "last kiss" a vision, or moreso. Well done.

James,
Utah's Morrison shale.......
I think some still search for the treasure.
Your work always gets me humping, teaching me something.
There are ones that completely miss out on the adventure of you
Good, as all your works are.
