Basic signs and symbols you have found

[Shortstack]

Rick:
I played with the contrast and lighting and brought out a little more detail to consider. The first photo has some SMALL details such a letters and numbers, but not a lot. How large is this area?




The second photo is a profile of a dog's head looking toward the left. The heart is a small one laying against the dogs forehead. What in the world are all of those root wigglies all over the stone?

Very interesting, reminds me a bit of something Bill once posted on ancient coastal and inland waterway settlements:

Thanks Shortstack,..the inscription still doesn't yield many clues though does it.. it is recessed about 13'' long and 3'' high,the other half is even more deteriorated than the first half.. we will do a rubbing to see if it gives any better detail. the rocks are underwater every few years,which contribute to the heavy erosion and the root wigglies from moss. we have found several other hearts along this trail, and a few pointers all leading to another pointer or symbol. taking digging gear in the morning,I think we are close to the end of the trail. we have found two turtles as well,along with other signs.

we're are back to the trail again tommorrow,... Happy Hunting !!

Rick:
Please don't take this wrong, but I think you're posting too much info about your project. You may want to delete some of it.

 

[aztreasure]

Rick, it sounds like your quest has chosen you. Best of luck!

 

[desertmoons]

Sounds fascinating rick. It is a great story but i have to agree with ss..about deleting the fleet movements etc.

 

[rangler]

Bill and Kim,
great call by the two of you! as I whole heartily agree..sometimes we forget that thousands of others view this site just looking for free leads! Security is the number one issue in this modern electronic age more so than any other!
best regards

remember the Bible says..."dont cast your jewelry in the corral"....paraphrasing of course!

Rick! You are probably right about you being very close to the end of the trail. Your boot pic, looks to more like a foot without a boot, and it also has a small pointer rock ( pointing ) this out, meaning you can make it from here barefootin it!! Luck Bro! td PS. The pointer also seem to be pointing out a small arrow, and it is setting in a half heart! Also pay attention to the crack running across the ankle and the notch at bottom left side!

The barefoot may also mean the next good sign will also be in the water, so keep your boots dry!

I notices at the bottom of the heart it has a very sharp point and a shadow mark of a half moon with the flat side down. The Spanish used a half moon symbol like this to show dig here directly underneath this symbol is in many Books of signs and symbols, it wouldn't hurt to dig below and see what is there. There is also to sharp cuts on the right lobe, when a heart told you gold is there in this area only, the heart would be made smooth when it has cuts like this it is giving you another meaning. I found one once that had a cut in the left lobe from the center out and followed the direction of this cut and found an almost hidden Spanish mine. I could not go in and do any exploring there because it was located on Government property and that area had a security camera on it.

Thanks for the info,

My worry would be that the two slashes indicate a wounded heart, warning of a death trap.
Any thoughts? That heart is seven feet tall and looks to be holding back lots of boulders.

EVERYONE,

The Spanish used set points and sets of directions as to how to use these points to determine a place to dig.
It was against the King's rules to mark a place to dig.
every one of the holes we dig was indicated by a set of directions as to what measurements to use and where to measure from.
This rule of the realm was top priority to keep the goods safe, and was strictly adhered to.

If there is a doubt check the spot with a two box don't just dig.
A hole without reason is hard on a person (without cause)
It also leads to hard feelings if it was a recommended thing to do and comes up dry.

There is no such thing as a dig here mark. Period.

Thank you Thom, That can not be said enough times. The symbol that was most useful to me was the symbol G = God or the Bible, Compass = degrees, and the square = angle. Everything they did, involved those three things

Everyone,
I know that it definately applies to the kings portion, howeaver did they always follow the rules regarding there own personal cache just asking..

 

[Old Dog]

Happy New Year guys. (to borrow a line)
"I hope you find the treasures that you seek."

I read about guys that see signs that tell them to "dig here" quite a bit lately.
Once on this topic and a couple others here on TN as well. other sites also.

Believe me you won't find signs within a hundred feet of a cache if it is Spanish or KGC.
These guys didn't give anything away. If you have a "Dig here" mark, It isn't Spanish.

After the 1st of the year I will explain some of the ways the Spanish marked caches and gave directions to them.
Meanwhile guys...
if you are feeling inclined to dig a hole please don't do it under a sign.
Get a two box and see if it is worth it. the cost of the detector will save your back so much in the long run, it will be worth the money.

Thanks Thom, I'm listening and haven't dug that hole. Rocky

thanks old dog, the more knowledge we have, the better our discernment.

 

[Galen]

Finally managed to finish reading this entire thread. Took a several turns, I can tell you that.

Anyway, very interesting stuff. A good read.

 

[Old Dog]

Galen,
Welcome to the forum,
If you read the whole thing you have a leg up on this stuff others who haven't don't have.
Look forward to seeing some of your pictures and hearing some of your input.

To everyone:
I hope your New Year is a happy and most prosperous one.

Hello Everyone !

I, also have just finished reading through all the posts here on this thread and am FASCINATED !
What a great job you all have done to enlighten some of us newbies on this subject. I felt compelled to
join the masses and contribute when I can. Not many treasures to be found in Indiana, however.
