Ed Hensons latest "Swift" blog: all clues lead to Swift...

[-Ki-]

Swift mentioned a cache of buried silver under a bent tree that points to the south or southwest. I searched around the triangle carving in the arch, had no idea to check under the huge bent tree just 20 ft away. I need to get a pic of the tree and see which way it points next time I'm out there.

Yes and 4x larger than one like you posted.

So someone with him knew the Indian ways? If it is larger it might be older and may even predate Swift. Great way to date the site is to have the tree cored, they can count the rings of the core to get a date. Man you must be pumped about this find! Congrats on your find!

This carving is also found here just 5 foot from the opening. JO.S Jonathan Swift, John Swift.

Looks like more below the JO.S? I can't wait to watch in August.
Are you living back in KY now? Someone said you had moved South?

I moved back to Ky Fall of last year 2018. I Keep finding things with the first site, the second site I've been working on is a possible location of Swifts furnace rock house. There is supposed to be coined silver buried in this rock house on the right as you go in. Hope to put together a post on this soon for discussion.
