I have a lot of trees I have questions about this is only a few of them, I don't want to post more until I know for sure someone can help me. I also found some interesting carvings I would like some help with, but first if you would check out the trees I have at this link, I would appreciate it. Click the link here for those photos: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/treasure-
marks-signs/405969-tree-help-please.html




Here are some other trees that really intrigue me and would love to get feedback on! I don't know the difference between Native American trail markers, Hoot Owl, Treasure Trees! It is all VERY confusing and it is not metal which is what I bought my detector for!

Here are 3 more: All Trees.jpg

I have more trees too, but i will wait to see what kind of response I get. I have lots of photos and single photos, I just did it this way to get a good start. Thanks for your time and help!

Thanks for replying, I am actually in East Texas right now and that is where the photos of the trees are from. I know there are trail trees in Wisconsin, but I never really saw or looked for any there. Are message and Pointer trees the same, if not could you please tell me the differences and which are which; if you know.

OK, "google" Trail Trees of Texas; 20,900,000 "hits". The Great Texas Tree Trail Guide is GREAT!

Interesting thought:

"The Indians believe the trees are sacred, and one reason it was hard to find a lot of information about them is because Indians didn’t want the white folks to know about them. Because, like everything else we’ve touched, we destroyed. When Indians are standing near these trees, they believe their ancestors are there or nearby. Particularly the Ute Indians, who call their trees prayer trees. They think these trees are very sacred, so we treat them that way.
