Steve what you say is true in most cases. The exception being treasure clues used by organized groups that buried many different caches. Their maps to treasure, while each is quite different, are all decipherable using a certain knowledge, but only then if you have access to all the clues within that particular depository. If only one or two sets of symbols are found the treasure is in no danger of being found. In most depositories at least 24, widely seperated, groups or sets of symbols must be assembled to make the complete map and usually as many as 80 or 100 individual clues must be used with the map to get everything aligned. Some depositories are so vast that a lifetime is needed just to find most of the markers if you do not know where to look! Hillbilly
