Antiques Roadshow: Tampa, Fla. - Hour Two

Appraiser Thomas Lecky of Christie's corrals a set of frontier treasures. These breastplate decorations, known as gorgets, were worn by two of the Sioux nation's most powerful chiefs in the 1870s. Together with an original copy of the first book ever printed in Wyoming - an 1866 dictionary of the Sioux language - this collection could round up $100,000 to $150,000 at auction.
