    Practice for map readers

    Have enclosed a picture of a genuine site . About 15 years ago at least, I was sitting on a blanket on a beach cliff top with my family, waiting for the parade of the tall ships to enter the bay. I felt a bit itchy about where I was sitting. Decided to check out below me. I had a single dowsing rod in with our picnic gear. Checked out below and got a shock. It was a good day atmospheric wise for dowsing which sometimes I have to wait sometimes for weeks.
    Actually i have been waiting for 6 years since the last dowsing season.
    There was a cave below me of small room size and it was full of a mixed variety. Just recently I discovered the marker that is necessary for a hidden cave to be plausable as they have to have a marker on a map to return to the site.
    I wondered how deep the cave was below the surface , so decided yesterday to go back to the site and see if there were any clues.

    Owing to backhoe work at some time in the past, the soil was removed down to the roof of the cave.
    Limestone may stop an earth mover without the operater necessarilly musing as to whether there is a treasure cave below.
    Cave and contents is to the left of the shovel and cave entrance. The shovel is pointing at the cave and contents. It is possible to put the shovel mentally below you and walk over the cave and look down at the contents.
    I dont think there is any thing stopping me gaining entry on this site. Although I will have to wait till our summer is over before I can come back. Pic shows the shovel tucking in under the edge of the caves limstone roof. Max

    religious artifacts are a probable as it was one of the first caves filled in by the Jesuits in this area in the 17 th century.. Max

    There is dowsing and browsing. Obviously you are posting in the wrong column.

    I got cave within the red outline area, found a distant cave signal off in the upper right corner. The red X is some artifacts or treasure, maybe both.

    Thanks Max...might mention that other cave is either very small or off a ways in the distance. It seemed nearly as thin as the red line I've made.

    I checked again...it is a small cave, somewhere between 1-2 feet wide, seems to run to the other cave. Probably is no more than 23-24 feet away from your shovel.

    Re: Practice for map readers

    red Desert, what you have found is a two foot or so wide tunnel connecting two caves .
    i am familiar with this type of set up and you have to be correct as no-one can dream up a second cave connected by a two foot wide tunnel... max

    Thanks again Max. I'm not one of those people who explore caves and as you correctly guessed, never would have thought of the small connecting tunnel possibility.
