Treasure Marks/Signs - Diagnosed Here

[the top of the page is exhilarating!]
Lost Horse,
Good example of hidden in plain site!
There is also a gorilla face in the left lobe
of the heart  below the face looking skyward
and a few other items as well..
good eye !
rangler

Guys what do you think of this image?
Can you tell me the signs you can see? I have found some intresting shapes, but I need your inputs

Attached picture

Nice full face on upper right , pic lil fuzzy to see much detail.

Welcome Jesus
Thanks for posting your pic, as Goldguru so astutely said..
nice human face on the upper right, to the right of the face
is a 'book' meaning Bible, across the way on the upper left
is the stylistic image of an Owl, ( a gangsta owl if you will lol)
in front of the Owl is a sunsign of a Bird, looking to the right.

This may be an Omega, but it is very large for that, perhaps
a very early omega, of the Spanish Colonial Period of the late
16th Century,.early 17th,.

A clearer pic, and when you go back look for the Hoyo..it will
confirm the site, be sure to take the pic at High Noon plus or
minus an hour,with your back to the sun, looking North.

It looks good Jesus  Welcome to the site and hope
you will post a couple more pics in better focus, showing a
hoyo (hole) with the sky or ground behind it... or more detail.

rangler

Thanks  Rangler I will do that and will send the pictures .

Jesus,
Could that be a cross on the breast of the Bird?
When you take new pictures please check it out.
okey dokey

Hello okey dokey.May be it is a cross but I taked the picture with zoom and 500 mts of distance, I will go that place again next saturday and I am going to take pictures with Rangler instructions, I will be there exacly in the place and I am going to find something like carvings or the hoyo and then post in the forum.Thanks for your observation.

Good luck jesus!  Be safe.  look forward to seeing your pics! 

Hi guys: Sorry I would not be able to go at my site in the country, the weather its no good now, it is cloudy and very hot, near of 45  celsius degrees, the place is near 4 miles from the road and with that conditions it is danger  walk there, there are not shadow places only rocks I will wait better weather and then  go I promise to you send the pictures. Thanks

Thanks for the update Jesus
We will look forward to the new set of photos
rangler

Here is my take on some of these pix.  Some have been revamp in the sense of inverting the picture to get a better view and then made origional again with the change so we can see signs/symbols better.  I am sure that there ARE more to the pix, but this is one of my first attempts at analyzing since I have just found this site due to a recent intrest in this subject.  Any input at all?  Thanks to all that respond....

Nick

This one too.........

Hi dominick

In regards to Rattlesnakehill or RSH...that rocky rise  is rather abundant in possible markers.

You have correctly pointed out two of them..the pointer one on top and the one below marked
 marker ...fondly known as  the seated guy. There's no mistaking them that's for sure.
 The seated guy is quite interesting up close from any angle.

I know i posted this  seated guy some place..so i will post it again.

To me the main purpose of this marker - seated guy - was to show a trail split. No doubt there are other meanings. However it works well as a "there are two trails..one for this sort of people..one for that sort of people."

 


The one on top is a propped up animal pointer.


The face is a  possibility.. I've  just started contemplating really big  possible markers and really small ones. Never noticed that one before!
But not sure at all it is a face.




DM

DM!!  One suggestion,,,  The seated guy could also mean,, he is now at the end of the Treasure Trail,, and is now resting!!   All the Luck Lady!     td

DM,

As I noted before, these words are coming from an EXTREMELY NEW guy, but here is MY observation............

Hope this makes sense.........

Dominick

Nick

 What you see is a real possibility..i would really need to get out there and see what else is around. But it is too darn hot!

The window..i am not sure what it is. More signs, uncovered  hole or a window. I've not examined it nor actually tired to follow signs/symbols in this local little area.   You must remember..i am not expert at all so it is mostly speculation on my part.

I started out simply trying to follow/recognize trail markers. And that is what i am still doing almost a year later lol. Which works out well for me. I can only comment on what i think...not that it is truth. I've not looked closely, climbed all over this little spot.

The little vignette of seated guy has a lot of "advanced" signs and symbols (read that to mean i do not know positively what they mean..   )   But i never actually took a bearing from his sharped face...so you could well be right. Two faced ...well thats a janus.The detail carving of his sleeve his interesting. The placement of his hand is interesting. There is a lot quite interesting about it and i am rambling.


The other little pointers would need better pictures.

Out of place rocks are good thing to notice as you did. Likely significant.

Over all your take on the matter looks reasonable to me..and i thank you!

I sometimes take a compass reading from one marker to another to check for patterns of alignment. Can be surprising.

Well..td..seated  guy must have been hauling a heavy load ..cause he has been resting for a few hundred years..lol.
 

Hello everybody, I have taked new pics of my place and Iam working in select  better ones to show you and take your inputs.I would want to question next: What mean three signs together like an owl, bird and human face like my picture ?. why are together?, is the bird showing some travel?.Sorry Iam confused.

Heysus
The Human face is standard operating procedure in fabrication an Alpha
monument, it is the easiest sign to recognize as we all spend the bulk of
our day looking at someones face or the other lol.

The Owl of Minerva means Cache,

The Bird is a Directional Sign.,with some subtleties that I will reveal in pm.
auriferiously
rangler

OK Rangler with your inputs I found sense to my picture, let me see if I am OK: The human face is there because is easy to see it and know is human made, tell there is a cache  by the owl and follow the bird direction, Am I ok ?.

So question about this image, having read that these cacti live for hundreds of years, the arms look to be artificially re arraigned to me it kind of looks like a monkey pointing, but what is he doing and what does it mean? I rellay need to get back there and look the area over closely..... I have been told they also carved stuff into the cactus too....

BTY the petroglyph's look a lot like the ones at Newspaper rock in Petrified national.... I have photos of that too if anyone is interested...

Tell me that this one does not just scream go this way....



But what do these say, BTY this is Newspaper rock in PNF

Whats that? With the shadows and all looks like a bear sitting  on its haunches guarding
 a shadow heart that may be cracked at the bottom.
If so and not just a trick of the light - danger -  twofold warning!

 Hard to tell what it is or what it is made of and it could just be fall of shadow and limb and rock that makes it look like that.

There is carving lower right on that bear thing. And possibly on that small rock directly in front of it.

Is that another deformed cactus in the background or a gnarled twisty tree?  Back behind it possibly a face.  

In the large formation  in back, on right... another face looking  to the right.


Sorry, don't know much about cacti. Would it be possible to blow that bear section up a little?

 



By the way, this is speculation. I'm no expert.

Sheldon,
Welcome, and thanks for the pics you posted.
As for cacti, the Spaniards and/or Mexicans, would
cut a band, all the way around any manipulated cacti
as a confirmation mark, some times I have seen two
bands at the base of a worked over cacti.

I do see a nice profile face in the first photo, and a pretty
camoed puma to the left of the face, which is looking left.
auriferiously
rangler

lets see how well this works...

Sheldon
I think you have an Alpha Monument there!

At the foot of the cactus, to the left, is a large
boulder, lite up from the sun, this is a rough
vauge face, the eye socket is a shadow, that
happens to have an owl shape to it...

There is a number 13 or a 'B' at the bottom of
the eye shadow, telling you that the owl is no
illusion, confirmed by the 13th letter of the alphabet

To the left of this is the Puma, he is black and grey
it is a masterpiece! His ears stand out first, then his
eyes, then the head and body, he is looking slightly to
the left.
His right eye is a mushroom, above that is a small 'm'.
There is a number 7 near his left eye, below a Bear
shadow as DM said,the bears head is touching the Pumas
mouth,  so death trapped at the entrance, is what that is
saying....

That what I see from this angle for now..I dont have a paint
program on my Mac, so some one else can mark those when
the see them - other wise this is a good learning example.

Study this pic until your eyes focus not on the sunlite parts but
the shadows, once your  brain re-sees these things, then you
will always be able to see them, at first only when the pic is taken
and displayed, years later, you can see them without photographing
them , I hit that level this last expedition, when the Black Dog was
so pronounced I thought we would fall off the bouler he was on!

Good luck - follow thru by trying to see what the puma is seeing.
and let us know,
thanks
rangler

how neat.  when my brain changed to shadows everything just leaped out at me.  cool
okey dokey

The funny part about this photo is the only reason I shot it was it looked cool, I like landscapes with unusual features.... Have a heap more too....
Behind me in the same area is a nice large rotten quartz out cropping that has washed down, went over the area with my 2100 V2 and a fine tooths comb and found absolutely nothing.... but did bring back some real nice looking rocks for my rock garden....

 I did not explore that area with anything else except the cammera, looked too rough and was time limited.... good thing I did!

looks like you have another cat hiding in shadows!

Did not mark everything.


 

Okey,
Ahhhhh at last, a conversion!!
life is grand!

'evangelism is its own reward!'

I just wish I was more astute at this treasure sign thing, I did buy the book some time back that has what he calls treasure U and his book "Treasure Hunters Field Notebook" by Mike Pichett with all his personal notes n stuff that came with it.

 That at least is a starting place, but I have learned so much more in my short time here that it is not even remotely funny. Not real sure what all the stuff in the photo means but in another photo I took just south of that spot has several figures that appear to be standing made of stone that face the area. I'm not sure what is there but what ever it may be they sure wanted to be able to find it again at a later date!!!

Studying and restudying  Old Dogs thread is a good place to start. Then read almost every thread in this forum a few times for learning...It helpedr me..though i've never found anything except maybe an empty hole. But then again..i am not really looking too hard..just  attempting to solve the puzzles of the Spanish ways for fun.

'evangelism is its own reward!'

I was browsing some of the area photos yesterday with a friend and came across this one. It is a short distance to the south of the alpha site if you look in the upper left hand corder you can see some rock figures looking in that direction... again I only shot this because of the unusual formations I like landscapes and have a photographers eye....

 

Just a few things I see. #1 A face.  #2 OWL .  #3 Bear .  #4 Open Book .  #5 Angry face with pursed lips - could represent a wind or direction. Great post and you certainly do have a good eye .   Jim

i like these areas. heart,cross,skull.

All that stuff down in front is glitz,
Hate to say it ... You guys aren't looking at where the pointers tell you to look.

There are a pair of twins in the circle that will make a gunsight when you are positioned right.
Pay a little attention to the notch that the arrow is pointing to.
These two are the ones that will take you over the hill.

good one, should have remembered that from post of the past.was waiting for you to post up!  brent

and the twins lead us to the area my earlier photo was taken at..... There must be something special real close to there for them to have gone to all that effort....

The only reason to back trail at this point is to check out signs to correct directiom.
follow the trail the direction it leads, or never find the end or a possible treasure site.

Take your time and be safe.

Sheldon,
Any follow up to report?

Since you mock my delight at having taught an eager student to 'see'
the signs and then read them, it says that you are upset at new people
learning what you thought was your private domain. Well get used to it
I intend on teaching hundreds of people how to do just that, on this site.

Later it will involve a national promotion to teach thousands of people to
read signs and symbols! AND I have to thank YOU and some others for
 'motivating'me to do so.....thanks appreciate it a lot.

Please keep it up, I might reach millions HA!

Upset? Moi?  Hardly.  Amused, yes.  You very well may convince lots of folks.  The end result of all this education?  A buncha arm-waving and empty holes, I predict.  Of course, I could be wrong.  Good luck.

rangler:

Doesn't this face (face #2) from the first photo stand out better than #1?  I outlined it in red.  It's a profile of a man wearing a helmet.

Ah shortstack..that hill is a master piece of... perceptual artistic illusion,  deception and useful information.

So far I've studied it for over a year and still see new aspects to it every time I review it. Time of day, angles etc.

At the most basic level, it is a trail divide.

desertmoons,

Thank you for your gentle chiding.   

I understand what you mean.  To get a full catalog of shapes you'd have to be there from sun up to sun down.  Do-able, but ................    If the hill is a trail divide, it probably doesn't rate that kind of search, but I'm pretty ignor-ant of reading trail signs.  That's why I keep watch on this and other threads about reading signs and markers.  Just trying to learn.  Thank you for your help. 

oh in no way did i mean to chide shortstack. So sorry it came across that way..

I guess what i really meant to say is: yes you are  right...but a different time of day..a different angle it will look completely different. There is no one right answer when it comes to that hill. There are a lot of right answers.

Guess i could have stated that better.

As a matter of fact it does look like a face Which i had not noticed. lol

And anyone is welcome to comment


 DM..

OK.    With so much changing going on, maybe a better name for the hill would be "Jamungi Hill"  or however that's spelled.   

Shortstack
you had ask..
''Doesn't this face (face #2) from the first photo stand out better than #1?  I outlined it in red.  It's a profile ...etc'

I understand what you are saying, however in this case the faces are  attractors and or confirmation signs that the ''pointer''
and the ''marker'' are real signs and not causual cloud reading.

pm for the 'rest of the story'

thanks for the info about treasure here in the philippines rangler. actually, i ask that to thom coz we only have copy of japanese signs and symbols but when i came across this website, i've seen some symbols and traps discussed here similar to those in our site. i promised thom to send some pix but the site is still under water due to typhoon here in the philippines. as soon the area is cleared, i'll be posting some. this site is very helpful. thank you for people like you, dign, thom and others.

Ok Red,
When ever your ready, we are ready to help all we can..
rangler

Thanks for keeping in touch Red,
Looking forward to your pictures.

Stay safe.

thom, rangler

these are the photos i promised to post. i hope you can help me with this. try to look if there are signs here. sorry some were destroyed since we didn't have any idea until i got to this site. i hope to received advices from experts here. thank you.

thom, rangler

other photos taken from the site. the x mark with a tent is the upper portion of where we were digging. we have covered it with a tent so the water won't get through when it's raining..when you are inside the hole at the bottom, sands drip from that x mark.
the embossed heart is above the hole we dug.

Red,
Thanks for the pics, I am encouraged by your 3rd and 4th picturs.
As SWR says I am not sure that this isn't much older than the suposed Yama legend.
Rangler has the angles nailed. Let us know where they take you.

Good luck and HH

which 4th pic and how did he get angles if you would? nice to see you post again rangler. thanks brent

Post #252 third and fourth pictures down.

Thanks Brent,
We finally packed out of our site for the winter..

glad to see this this new subject forum. I have on my property a very old holly tree, it is several ft. in dia.. Here in S.C. these tree's grow very slow. Mine is covered with carvings to about 6-7 ft. from gound level. The carvings have spead out an avg. 1 1/2"..I would sure like some.. opinions. Thanks

rangler that arrow-like stone was found on the top of the rock monument we've been digging. it is 1 foot long and 6 inches in width. post #252 4th pix is the next marker we found located at the opposite side of post #253 3rd pix (embossed heart). you can check post #254 5th pix, that is the location of the heart (the one supported by a pole). i don't know what this rocks mean. in the middle of those 2 markers is like a lightning rod. it is still there. the opening of the "cave" we're digging is hard rock with inverted triangle or heart shape. as we dig deeper, we find triangle rocks along the way. some are pyramid shaped which are inverted. i have attached how our "tunnel" looks like (illustration 1). we have found also carved lines (illustration 2) in the left wall. that is the trail we followed.

hi surlydog, i auto adjusted your pics in hopes they could be seen better
what else is in the area of the tree, ie: creek, mounds, older felled trees
and which way are the marks faceing ie: N,S,W,E
how deep are the carved marks

Thank you for your responce, the carvings circle the tree all sides and they are about 3/8" avg. depth. I will when it dries out here take some better photo's. As I wrote earlier, this land was at one time farmed and most of it cleared. I do have a oak tree in my drive that is very old (see photo) and at the rear of the property a huge sycamore 1/2 again dia. as the oak. the land here is laden with quartz, and I have went over it in a few places with my Whites GMT, but nothing popped up. There was a lot of gold taken out of this area before CA. rush and in fact Charlotte just minutes from here had mint. Being from an Arizona transplant, I have seem a lot of markings in my 60 plus years, these on this tree really puzzle me. The series of letters strung in a row up or down the tree, make no sense what so ever. I have tried translations of all kinds, they do mean something I'm sure . The birds and "strikes/cross's" remind me of things I have seen back home in AZ. Again, will post some better photo's when it dries here. Thanks again..No mounds, there is a pile of quartz about 200 yards away, that I belive are field stones from the cotton farming days.

Ooop's forgot photo of Oak

surly dog,
welcome to tnet and thanks for posting your pics,
couple things...for sure your signs are not Jesuit,
more than likely its KGC, trees being their favorite
medium to carve there signs.
so...i think
a. this tree was a treasure sign tree
b. over the years this attracted the graffiti
c. the true marks are cut deep and wide
d. ignore the 'chicken scratchin' done with a pen knife
e. you have a giant A in pic #2
f. that A has a long point, pointing to an x
g. there are more numbers near the x (real scratchin')
h. I would take the compass heading of the A
j. try to plug in the numbers you see near the x
h. good luck , keep the site secret, tell NO one!
i. I dont know KGC sign other than what they copied from the Jesuits
   and they buried artifacts around the designated trees mostly iron.
j. in pic #    you have an owl and two dogs. white/black.
   they make up the two side of the owls face..kinda superimposed.
   not too far removed from the two sunlight puppies i posted last month
   hope this helps, seek more expertise with some one who is savvy on KGC
   and lets us all know  how it goes
   !mucho mas oro pora ti!
   rangler

Thank you for the information, I will follow your advice. When we get a dry day I will try to chalk dust the tree and send you a better set. There are a number of other carvings I did not get photo's of..What do you make of the arrow running into the S in the first photo??.I never noticed it until yesterday.

Hey everyone I recently just started researching symbols since I moved back to Arkansas. After reading a couple of books I remember some pics I took while hiking. I'm a newbie so they may be nothing but I plan on paying more attention while I'm out in the woods.

Hello everyone,
Hi to you Rangler !
Im just dropping-by with this very interesting site... I am doing little reseach of ancient signs more specifically Spanish or Jesuits...I am just wondering why there are markers engrave on rocks...I know in my place there are stories on yama--deleted--as treasure...I am more curious with these marks. I have a lot of rock marks pictures....Can I have a favor? If you see this what comes to your mind? what do you think....This is my first post and trying to ask another help soon in my next login. thanks Rangler.

Welcome to T-Net Negro

the King decreed marks should be readable for 500yrs,therefore most are done on rock as required.

your pic appears to be a Nice example of a grinding Stone, corn comes to mind 1st ,But could have been used to grind most anything else.

I found this 2 years ago. I would like to share it with this group. Have fun with it.

goldguru:
thanks...Im amazed by that formation it seems nothing at all...I wonder why some guys tried to form figures on hard stones such as this attached pics 1 & 2... lol...looks like a worm to me that pic. 2. Pic 1 is about 100 meters adjacent to pic 2. I'll try to explore that area again...first time I saw this pic.2 which I cant relate this to jesuits or spanish symbols even yam signs...what do you think ha..thanks...just curious...hmmm..

Hey rockhopper..interesting pic. I see how it looks like a serpent and it may very well be one that in fact is sort of coiled if you take into account those rocks behind it.

 However it also looks like a nice fat 7, (the upraised neck and head) with a resting guy laying down to the right of it.

Maybe it is both. Thanks for posting!


 

Thanks Desertmoons for your reply. I figured more people would have given their opinion on this photo.

Hi and welcome Rockhopper,
Some of us don't get to use a computer on the weekends
and have to wait till we get home.

Do you have any pictures of this from different angles?

rock hopper, i see a bird, snake, and rocks that were split
orange to orange, looks like they go together, blue to blue
looks like they go together, maybe put them back together
and see what it tells you

I will be going out to the site within the next week. It is a pretty long and hard hike, but it is worth it. I do not have any other pictures of it at this time. I will get more while I am up there. I will also place the split rocks back together and take pictures of it. Old Dog I have  pictures of some other areas that I would like for you to see. I will email them when I get a chance. I am so glad that the people on this site are opening up and willing to help. I used to frequent this site several years ago and no one would help. They mostly argued and it was very frustrating. I gave up on online treasure web sites because of it. I am glad that I have come back. Thank you for being here!

Email this picture along with the rest and I will point out a couple things.
Till then please leave the splits as they are.
They are congruent and pertinent to your trail as they are stacked
If moved you may loose continuity of the trail as they left it.
Things like that will make a hidden treasure a lost one.

Thom

 rockhopper, i probably was'nt on here when you were but i'm always glad to see some friendly folks. i get upset with the naysayers too but i'm bull headed and refuse to quit. keep hoppin' those rocks and see what turns up.=== tenclaw===

Rock Hopper,

Some people will say this is a trail marker, from what I see this is the end of a trail the burial is right there and is a small cave maybe man made.  Check out this site very well If the treasure has been removed you will see the spot, remember it dose not need to be big to be valuable.  You may only need to move a few rocks.

Minetres

Old Dog, this is Rock Hopper2. I am Rock Hoppers Dad, His partner in crime. We will not move the rocks. We have seen several of the flat cut rocks, some are huge. We have always wondered what they ment. We have no idea, any help would be appreciated from anyone. Thanks Rock Hopper2

Here is a slightly different viewpoint.  What do ya think?

The map would fit the area. I will need to get more pictures of this area at different angles to give everyone a better idea of everything. Dad and I will be going up there friday. I love having different perspectives from you guys and gals. Its like bringing a large group of people into the site. This is fun, Thanks to all. No ones idea will be ignored, they are all welcomed. Telling me the treasure is very close is a plus, if this is correct Minetres is on my Christmas list.

Large slabs were sometimes used to separate different sites.
My partner and I have a couple sites where it must have been perfect for camping and caching.
There are empty vault sized holes all along the site.
They are also used as cover stones to cover a cache hole.
Most of the time if they are on their side they make a great billboard for signs.
Many are natural and have to be ignored as such.

Hello all,

Any opinions on this photo would be welcome!
 nvchris

looks like something is trying to take a bite out of your marker.

That is pretty cool looking hadji009. Here is a few more neat things.

All very cool and interesting ...
But the Spanish didn't think that deeply.
Sorry to be the one to break the news Boys.

Not trying to make you guys mad at me,
I have said it before.
Stop making huge things out of small ones.
Don't imply things that aren't there.

Granted we don't know the guy who made these signs, but
I guarentee this thing is very simple.

Think like the Spaniard

Hello all,

Welcome to T-Net.
Please show us pictures of this prior to chalking.
Thanks
Thom

looks like turkey track,and girl with mouth open,and shadow fight fish.

Thanks for the reply Thom,

Here are a few more with no chalk.

These were taken almost twenty years ago and some of the rocks have been destroyed

I'm currently trying to locate and photograph them again.

nvchris

I need some help with some markings please.  The pointer rock is either a Queens poodle or a Kings lion (like a sphnx).  It looks due south and has 4 slashes on the top of its head.  It only looks like an animal from the west side.








A confirmation rock nearby is a turtle head with an eye if seen from the west.  There is a rock flush with the ground near the turtle head that also has 4 slashes on it.







There is a possible confirmation rocks with dual rocks next to the turtle head.



Now approximately 400 varas south of the pointer poodle there is a bolder on a slope near a creek.  It took several hours just to get the moss and grit off of it.  It is the only bolder in the area.  Since it is in a very public area there is grafitti on it.  Does the carvings on it make sense for it being a part of the pointer rock's S/S?





Now I'll have to do another post.

Now, here is another look at the top of the bolder.


Also on the top of the bolder is this set of S/S.







On the east side of the bolder is this carving.









What say ye?

Okey Dokey

Okey,
HereI have put a couple more scratches in the mix for you.
If you look they are there quite clearly.
Check out the shallow holes marked with circles as well as the M and the upside down A.
Also check ot the negative

Thanks so much OD.  It is always good to hear from you my friend.
What do you think about the letters inside the large +?
okey dokey

I also see smaller markings .perhaps your orientation of the pic is off by 180deg,meaning another pic taken from the opposite direction?

sry my pic so crummy but looking @ your top pic before chalking there are Many letters to your immediate rh side as well looks like BARB then above that R F ?

Thanks so much OD.  It is always good to hear from you my friend.
What do you think about the letters inside the large +?
okey dokey

You have what looks to be three maybe four of the plusses.
I don't know what to make of them without a look at the terrain and the rest of the marks.
I'm sure there are more, Just these few are not enough without corresponding marks to give a trail.

And I just thought it was this........

Chris,
Thanks .
I think this is the first butterfly I have ever seen depicted anywhere in signs.
Thanks for the new sign!
That is cool

Clay,
These marks are pecked into the surface of the rock.
There is an age old coating of "varnish" that makes the stones dark.
The pecking is enough to go through the varnish, exposing the fresh rock underneath.

it could be done with a small stone ... or a chisel.
I am not able to get close and tell what the tool of choice is ...
But a new sign is nothing less than cool !!
No matter what it means.
