Now that one looks like a significant find! Love the hand in there...seen some spanish stuff out in Utah that looks similar...also in books I have by Steve Schafer(world renowned Spanish sign guy I met two years sgo). You are the most finding person that posts here! It take the boots on the ground or "walk in the woods" to do it.

Do you think this one could be some of the signs those guys from Jelico found several years ago(newspaper or magazine article written by a woman named moreland or someting like that) --the ones that claimed to have found the swift mines in the Canney area? ( I have tried everyway to contact them..think some of them are deceased)

Seems to me that the picture (above) looks like the Little Sandy/Grayson Lake river course at certain points - all the winding/curvy lines around the hand. Was this particular hand located in the vicinity of the modern Grayson Lake or a little farther up the Little Sandy towards Caney? Would love to see some more pics..

That's what I thought. It matches some old maps that I have of the Little Sandy pre-Lake era.. One map in particular shows the Falls of the Little Sandy and some other interesting things that seem to match up with some of these carvings you have found. Have you gotten any of the PM's that I have been sending you Boomer? Still not sure that my messages are going through.. Let me know..
