Does this look like a good site for treasure?

The trees

I know that this will sound crazy to many people --
yet to me the trees have been shaped into animals--

I also thought the trees were talking about / indicating stones
to look at.

Don't take this the wrong way... but what makes you think it's a good location for Spanish treasure? Is there a history there? Did you research anything pointing that way? Also, what makes you think someone looking at a picture will know if it's a good place for buried treasure?

As for shapes, trees telling you things or whatever... I don't see anything in those photos except rocks, vegetation, and dirt. I also don't make a habit of looking for animals in clouds. So maybe I'm just not creative that way.

I wouldn't put too much thought into the layout of those trees. At any time in which Spanish treasure would have been buried, I don't think those trees would have been around.

Weregolf,

Thank you for taking the time to examine the photos. I assume the cache spot is under the word "silver"--half way between the
two rocks. Is this correct? Just curious--did you see the alligator under your blue arrow?

Again thank you for your help. Should you ever want to go prospecting in New Mexico--just let me know.

Different people view nature ( their environment ) differently to some people they just see stones and trees. Others may say the trees are Juniper and pinon trees--so the juniper trees have purpleish to blue berries which when dry can be eaten and the pinon trees have pinon nuts which can be eaten by people and animals.

I might see an oak tree and think of nuts for turkeys and squirrels or see cotton wood trees or sycamore trees and think there is water there not too deep.

To some individuals--the photo has just rocks--to others--they may see patterns in the rocks creating alignments and even animal and people's faces on the rocks.

I specialize in cache hunting and both of these photos are taken right beside the Old Spanish Trail.

As for why I would ask dowsers to look at two photos and ask if they think any Spanish Caches are there---well some dowsers are skilled in their work and locate items and even water that others fail to see.

I would have said to check for metallic artifacts or possibly loose coins in the photos of post #1.

I don't know about it being a good site for a hidden treasure, but looking at the bigger trees, it looks like a good place to take a dump.

I know how that goes when hiking in a desert...then possibly might be a coin spill from the pockets.

That's actually brilliant. Pocket knifes, bunched up bills, I'D less wallets, etc. ..
I think I'm gonna start detecting around those areas where I see small digs and used toilet paper (from the slobs who don't cover it up).
That reminds me to pack disposable gloves along on my trips!
