Hoot Owl Trees & Pointer Rocks of the KGC

[Texas Jay]

While researching a treasure lead tonight, I came across this interesting article. The author is in the process of writing a book about some Colorado history and he gives some very good information about and photos of KGC treasure signs and symbols in the article.

Thanks, TJ. I had looked at that web page before, and it is good stuff. This time reading over it, I think some things clicked for me in a way that they had not before, and now I am certain that at least two of the trails I am working are KGC.
Isn't that weird how you can read something like that one time, and then read the same material many months later....and things just click in a way they didn't before?

You're welcome, guys. Yes, miboje, that happens to me quite often. That's why I'm currently reading some old treasure magazines from the late 60s and early 70s. I read most of them way back when they were published but I have decades more treasure hunting experience and knowledge now than I did back then when I was just starting out so things that I just read at a glance long ago now seem to jump right off the page at me. And with the magic of the Internet, now we can research them easily and in much more depth than we could back then.

Ah, great idea to go back and read old literature with new eyes.
Agreed. We live in unprecedented times because of the Internet.

Awesome material! I'm going to Denver, I'll have look around
the area! I know the KGC was there and probably still there! Is there a cache there? If it is I hope to spot it!�� LOL

I have done interviews in the SLV with the O.G. pioneers family,s it was on something else I have been looking for awhile now.A Lot of the folks I interviewed talked about the soldiers after the war, I have not had a lot of belief in the KGC up to that time.Now I have come across these books how interesting about how the confederacy actually had soldiers that were elected into the colorado government after the war.

Have you ever looked into a man named H. P. Bennet and his influence in Colorado? He left Nebraska City and moved to Colorado along with another man named S. F. Nuckolls who built Nebraska City. By 1863 they had already began to repeat what they had tried in Nebraska Territory.

I have not looked Bennet up,I have to be honest I never took the KGC serious but in the last 2 years I have came across some things of interest. I also have and acquaintance now who is very interested in the KGC. This person knows I deal a lot in the Spanish and would like me to look into some of the things associated with the KGC and how they marked there areas. So I am trying to get my knowledge base going to better understand there ways.Thank you so much L.C. for the info and the rest of you on here to.

Nothing but a natural tree where an ice storm or wind storm or both have broke off the top of the tree or a fork of the top of the tree and it grew back. Nothing else.

 

[Signman]

Thanks for your 'expert' opinion. Does it mean anything to you that the shorter one pointed 338 degrees and the taller one points 61 degrees?

 

[franklin]

No it does not.

Hi , A smart person would use a hand mirror or today a smart phone camera to look up trees. You will not get a sore neck or fall on a unseen ground hazard . Who is the expert ? TP

... Who is the expert ? ...

Bob Brewer of course!
He has been known to read a tree or two!
