I was exploring along the Old Spanish Trail and I saw what was to me a cluster of Spanish markers
and it got me to thinking possibly there is a old cache site here.

I have difficulty copying and attaching a satellite photo--so any one who has the ability to do so
I would welcome the help.



I saw a 10 tall stone owl here so I thought there may be some caches here--
Am I all wet or is there something to my hunches?

Should I look south, southwest, west, northwest or north from the owl?
Any ideas how far? fifty, one hundred, one fifty, two hundred, even further yards from the owl?
Or has this site been cleaned out? ( no caches ) ?

Barton.

There is always a different way to skin a cat...I have found that JPEG photo’s post better....Sometimes the maps are to big...I use my prts-scr button and my paint program a lot..I am always interested in Spanish Markers...Art

I have included some pictures of an Owl, two diamonds and a possible treasure aura
that showed up at the same location --in many of the pictures

I had a hunch the large and the small diamond gave a exact compass bearing to travel.

So any insight from other dowsers would be greatly appreciated

Any ideas on the direction I should go from these Spanish Markers would sure help.

And if I am all wet and nothing recoverable is in this area --I want to hear that too.

I am no expert on Spanish markers, but have read some. With an owl that big, it is MORE than just a cache. Gold and/or silver smelted bars for sure, dude. I would NOT post any map here. I would post all the pics you can muster, though. Coupla dowsers here can tell you a direction from your pics when the treasure is not in the frame. Then, you go back again when you get that direction, take a high point above where that frame was taken and point your camera in the direction the dowser indicated. Then, re-post that new picture for him, and hopefully you captured the actual location in the new elevated view of the direction indicated. Make sense? Thanks for posting!! Keep us updated!

Hello Morbiusandeo,

First, what does your name mean? I have never seen it before. ( please excuse my ignorance )
What can you tell me about an OWL, or a Diamond ?

Hello Teleprospector,

Yes you have the correct site. Can you get a direction I am supposed to travel, off the diamonds or the OWL?

I just have a hunch that the diamonds give a exact compass bearing, the distance and direction towards the final markers.

Thank you for your assistance. Barton
