Maybe I can shed some light on drill holes seeing that you are sincere in you request for help. I catch a lot more flak than you guys when I post something simply because the know it alls always want the last word. About drill holes, they are almost always found in treasure layouts. Some of the old Spanish woodcutts show long drills along with other tools used in mining. We find drill holes all over North America. Some can be attributed to 19th century prospecters drilling into a ledge to sample a vein not accessible by any other means. If you understand prospecting you know that a lead outcropping on top of a hill dips and strikes as it passes through the strata. Single jack drills are standard equipment used by prospectors to sample a vein without removing excessive amounts of overburden. That is one explanation for the holes. Another is that people hiding treasure knew that drill holes were virtually indestructable and they also could be drilled at just the right angle or depth to use as distance and direction indicators. A few years ago _____ _____ worked a site deep in the Southwest and drill holes along with other symbols led to a small tunnel that contained old Spanish armor, jewels and around 200 pounds of small gold ingots. Drill holes, if its known how to use them are among the best clues to locating treasure or at least determining the treasure layout. Also don't dismiss the fact that drill holes were used in Rebel treasure depositories to give directions and distances. If we ever get a homepage constructed there will be photos of some of our favorite drill holes. "The Bible Tree" a Spanish Treasure signs video sold a few years ago had a beautiful excample of a treasure marker which used a drill hole.That symbol and hole again led to an old tunnel and gold. Before I quit I'll tell you that we have found drill holes in GA too. They were not Spanish but KGC. Sounds like your 40" holes are KGC. Cassiopeia (sp) is not what you are looking at. Send me a photo and I'll try to set you in the right direction..Geronimo!
