Is there history of any specific indian tribe in that area? If so look to find any information about that tribe see if they marked stuff. Otherwise it could just be a marvolous natural thing and not of human creation.
all the best,

Great picture I would love to see the area where this was taken. Who ever took this picture needs to get there metal detector out and scan every square inch of this spot. I would.

Minetres,

I agree,
But a two box is my detector of choice for this.

Bob,
This isn't Native American.
It is Spanish.

Re: what do you think

That is quite an interesting carving, moons. Sorry I didn't notice this two years ago. Obviously, we'd like to know what general part of NM it was located. The 'JJ' (right one backwards) is frequently identified with Jesse James, whether correctly or incorrectly. It is known James spent significent time in the Hillsboro and Silver City areas in the late 1800's. The 'U8' (missing right crossbar) is intriguing too.

Re: what do you think

the j hook is also missing the right cross bar.

Re: what do you think

It appears as if they were "pecked" as well, not chisled. (meaning if any?)

Again, still new but it doesn't hurt to ask questions outside of the box right?

I would think it was a petroglyph, but I would also defer to Thom.

Makes no difference whatsoever.

Re: what do you think

What a difference a year makes. I look at this now and think "Doh!" Anyway it is Northern New Mexico. To me it is in a surprising place but I am surprised easily.

Have you heard of or seen things of a similar nature out your way Springfield?

I thought JJ at first too..but somehow it does not look the same as other jj's you see out on the net that perhaps are better documented as being related to outlaws.

Re: what do you think

o.k. everybody, i will bite to see what happens next. the first thing on the left looks like a stick figure of a man except his left arm means something else. is the 'U' with one crossbar supposed to be a horse shoe. also why is everything kind of leaning instead of straight up and down? any significance to that? the 8 or two o's i don't have a clue except there are posts that explain it. i'm sure someone can explain so i will be waiting
