The mystery of a relic found on a rocky slope of Grand Mesa 45 years ago took a new turn when researchers declared it not to be a piece of a cross brought by Spanish explorers.
Instead, the copper plate likely came from the sheath of a Masonic sword about 150 years ago, said David Bailey, chief curator for the Museum of Western Colorado in Grand Junction.
"Now it leads us in a whole new direction," Bailey said. "What was someone with a Masonic sword doing in that area at that time?"
