KGC Symbols

[chazman]

anyone here know if there is any specific KGC symbolic meaning to an axe head buried with the blade pointing north and a horseshoe buried about 120 feet due south with the round tip facing north, with the bottom side of the shoe facing up? these are in relation to a purposely forked tree with it's lower 18 feet of branches removed.

BLADE of Ax pointing north, is a DIRECTION indicator... confirmed by horseshoe with ROUND side ALSO going north (how the horseshoes are "worn" on horses). Were nails in the "shoe facing up"? Bent nails on HS also indicate "clues". What kind of tree?
KGC/CSA Spies WERE in Canada. "Google" Albert Pike/KGC in Canada. HH! GOOD LUCK!

thanks Rebel-KGC! I thought that the blade direction in combination with the horseshoe was a pretty good marker. no, the nails were facing down, the shoe was upside down, in other words, the surface that would have been against the horse hoof was facing into the earth, the worn bottom side was facing up. there was only one bent nail present and that was pointing to the N.E.
there also was a large chip in the blade of the axe, which was in otherwise perfect condition, that also was to the N.E.

here we don't have many long lived trees, the oldest being maybe 150 years old or so and those are generally pine. this tree is also a pine. it's quite old but it's growth has been greatly stunted by all the abuse of topping it and hacking most of it's branches off.

yes, I will certainly google that, thank you!

NE is BIG "clue"!

nice!
I figured it had to be important as it was cropping up so many times...
thanks again!
