New research and discoveries, presented by the History Channel, give up tantalizing clues the the mystery of the Lost Colonists and Virginia Dare.
This stone, discovered around 1937, appears to be a message from Elenor Dare, Virginia's mother, to her father, Gov White, who left the colony to get more supplies from England.
Other stones were "found" but turned out to be a hoax.
Other videos from the History Channel are along the right side of this one if you go to Youtube.
