the carving looks archaic enough..., old-style characters - but, the drill holes relationship, I don't know....

Howdy Steve,

There is a transport company in Peru with that name, you can call them to find out what it means. Google Etuisa E.I.R.L. to get their contact info.

By the way, not far from the carving shown in Post #1, I found this thing. Middle of nowhere. It's either a very small coconut or a very large nut shell. It startled me, as I saw it out of the corner of my eye peeking out of some small brush - thought it was a surprised.critter at first glance. Just more fun and games in the hills.

That is very interesting to me, especially if you took it out of a stone snakes jaws. Thanks for posting the photos.

New Mexico USA. In an area amid numerous mysteries.

That’s awesome that it’s in the states. Let us know how things turn out,and of course...not the details that don’t need to be out in the open.

Hey, Homar. I checked into that too. It's a one-man transport company in Peru - probably a man with a cell phone and a truck. Unfortunately, no address or email. My Spanish and/or Quechuan isn't that good, so a phone call may be an adventure. Thanks for the idea though.

Now I hadn't seen that since I left the first nations forums behind. Man/bear/pig is a running joke there that somehow started a bunch of arguing. Go figure!

Is it completely round like a ball, or semi flattened? Kinda reminds me of a Chunkey Stone.

Almost perfectly round and hollow.

1- Lettering - try to narrow down the style of font to a time frame, say 1500's? Jesuit priest?
2- drill holes - star map - Orion?

It's the name of the original locator of a mining claim in the vicinity, ca 120 years ago.

New Mexico was exclusive Franciscan territory, as ceded by a Papal Bull in the 16th century. However there were military reports ca 1700 that indicated some Jesuit intrusions, specifically on the Gila River near the mouth of today's Bear Creek. Some have attributed this activity to Kino, allegedly searching for a specific target. This is interesting. The Jesuits breaking the rules? Shocking!

The drill hole pattern deserves some map work for sure, something that's been overlooked so far. Hard to keep all the marbles within the ring when you're busy with other stuff. Oh, well, always plenty of time later.

Oh, come on, cyzak, you don't need to stoop so low. You become known by the company you keep. Also, you need to read closer my comments re RS.

BTW, that carved word I posted is a name - the name of the guy who located the mining claim on which it is located. I was curious what the responses would be to the post. You know how I knew what the carving was? Easy - TH 101, it's the first place to start when you find enigmatic monuments, carvings, etc. in remote country. Take coordinates, locate it on a map, then go to the county courthouse and check the public records - GLO surveys, land patents, mining locations, et al. Facts are good, and it's nice to know that everything you look at are not "Jesuit treasure signs". Saves wasted time. No charge. ////// Cyzaks reply I knew all along you new what that carving was. veritas liber abit vos
