Church Sign

[Springfield]

in pic from post #15, with the yellow marker,looks like someone survyed for some reason,
at least it looks like a cap set .....

It'd be nice to know that that thing is and what, if anything, is marked on it. It would be highly unusual for a land surveyor to set a point horizontally into a rock face as shown in the picture. If the surveyed point's location fell onto the rock face, or in a pond, or in any other difficult or inaccessible location, the surveyor would set a 'witness corner'. This is a normal looking point (such as a rebar and cap) whose location is offset from the true location and described on the Legal Description as 'witness corner (WC), 10 feet east' or somesuch. The carving above is much more interesting.

mjido have been playing with the rock with the notch
i turned it, and you can see some things, but what
i dont understand is why would, someone carve the stuff
this way, it has to have some kind of lets say super meaning
for lack of a better word description

I have a survey background and I will have to agree with Springfield on this one. It is highly unlikely for a cap to be set horizontal instead of vertical. Spikes and nails are often put into trees and rocks to mark a point with the elevation of the spike or nail being a bench mark. "The "P.O.B." stands for "Point of Beginning".

read in one book that the+ sign has a value of 2, a cross-hair sign inside a small circle equals 4, maybe look to the left since there is a small hole on left side of cross. 4 varas etc. just guess, brent

what is on the other side of scan0004?,it kind of looks like the 1st two holes are two men staring at each other, the third hole looks like irish wolf hound. left to right. thanks brent
