Turtle with Circle/Eye on back

[JACKO,John Stanwix]

This photo is not mine!! It's from a friend who found this a few months ago and wasn't sure if it was man made or natural. The books I have talk about diamonds on the back but, not an eye or cicle. Any Idea of meaning.
He's not a TH'er he's a pro-nugget hunter.

circle meaning one, mine or treasure, this is the place, mountain or knoll, sun, or church treasure below....being on the back of the turtle i would chance guess in the direction he is heading..possibly one measurement............. the triangle with the dot in center meaning treasure/mine in center of triangle marked out with rocks,,,,,,gldhntr

[JACKO,John Stanwix]

Gldhntr--- One measurement, is this one vara,league ? I missed the triangle with dot, where might it be??
So, these rocks marking tri. would be set off by thmeself, not mixed with a bunch of other rocks??
Thanks for the info, I'll get him to be a TH'er yet. hehe
In the picture it looks like a sunken area in the green at center right.

[gldhntr]

my guess on a measurement would be a soldiers vara, = 33+- inches,, but the more i look at picture i would think the circle stood for mine,treasure,, or mountain, knoll......in the direction the turtle is heading..........the triangle with dot in center is on the large rock on the left of first posted picture.......if the triangle was upside down the cache would most likely be marked by a triangle of trees, but the way it is means marked by triangle of rocks,, most likely three rocks, one at each corner, also either sitting mostly by themselves or marked so you would be able to discern the right ones..cache most likely centered as shown by raised dot in center..........head in the direction the turtle is going {unless tail or leg points oddly} looking for three rocks or possible rock markers making triangle, and check center.......i also think that if they were moving these big boulders around that the cache would be buried according to regulation = the depth of a soldier = 5-6 feet deep..at least...........gldhntr

Gldhntr--- Thanks , that helps a lot, now to get this info to him.

See if your friend can get more pics from different angles. It may not be a turtle. It is definately man-made though.

[JACKO,John Stanwix]

Gollum -- He told me it would be awhile before he can get back up there. He' got a job that keeps him busy. I am going to ask if I can come along, but chance are he'll say no as he's one of the pro nuggget hunters here in AZ and I think this is one of his hot spot. He just might since I live 275 mile saway and can't get there but once a year. I have asked for more pictures but, I think this is the only one as he's not a treasure hunting man, YET !!
So, I think he only took this one cause it was completely different.

turtle is a treasure sign,you have to look first which of the feats is different placed than the other feats and make a search threre.

[yilpet]

And a circle means a trap and danger,good luck.You'll find old gold money if you can solute it,my friend has found 1721 pieces of byzantian gold money under a turtle sign but in his case the turtle had no feats and no head.

very nice

This is a common carving indicating the presence of a nearby cave. The rock isn't a turtle - it's a convenient flat surface. Look for some sort of directional pointer and follow it. If you find the cave, be careful of snakes.

all of you guys are missing some information here.

Most unfortunately our friend, Jacko, who posted this will not be able to relay the information you are giving to the man who took this picture.

Several months ago. Jacko found the ultimate treasure.
He left us all behind and went to see his creator.
We miss him and his view of life.

Sorry to give such bad news.

Not all is lost Old Dawg.

When i saw this post from Jacko it occured to me having lived in az for 12 years i just might know a couple of the best detectorists in az. So i asked jacko if his nam might be (blank)....and to my surprise i did....

Everytime i have been down there i have missed as he is a lineman these days. But i have talked to his wife numerous times. He has agreed to show me where this turtle is....and it is in my area of interest is az. So hopefully in october i will finally see it myself....
