Can I get some help with this? Both are from the same trail.

hi sting , did you take these or your friend who passed away ? the second picture was on here before I think .
the first picture would really be better to guess at if you could borrow a better camera , maybe santa could go to the walmart and get you a 18 megapixel cannon for less than 500 bucks . of course santa has been hit hard by the recession so maybe somebody could lend you something to get ya by . in all seriousness you really should shoot those pictures again . I can't tell if you got a marsupial bearded man with a parrot in his pouch or just and old rock pillar . looks like writing under the skull looking thing with a little snaky sneeking out from under them there rocks , but it could all just be cloud reading without higher resolution . I gotta run before the banned one gets back into treasure net and starts scribbling all over your pictures . they are really very nice ! thanks for sharing .///bob

Thank you very much for all your help. I can see where the L-shaped can actually work in either 90° direction. This only demonstrates that they could make things very confusing. The good thing is that it does line up the hill perfectly as far as direction is concerned. Thank you once again.


Interprétation, like any other subject, depends on context.

Here are a couple of meanings your symbols might mean ( in no specific order):

descending/ascending (sun) night/morning, two entrances. direction/90 degrees. treasure in mound, treasure in tunnel or cave, two entrances, treasure below in cave or tunnel. fire, moon, sun, face of water. "Brothers of saint John" air, wind, blowing

Of course this depends on the orientation of your symbols. I assume your picture is oriented the way you located it... and the way you found it or read it naturally could very possibly be oriented to mislead you.

One of the first steps of following a map is orientation. That "90 degree" symbol could be very well telling you to orient the map 90 degrees..

All that you see carved might not be all of the "map". You can pretty much consider that whole wall/floor/stone a map...including all "natural" shapes of the wall/floor/stone. Remember, they choose this particular location for more than one reason. You need to consider those options also.

Example, there might be water in front of this image. This would be it is a mirror image map. This is possible, considering that your symbols are somewhat symmetrical.

There are various ways to read your map. The map maker would take this into consideration. Example: A+B = AB

If I know (as the map-maker) that you are going to look for "AB". I am going to make sure you find "AB"...everywhere.

If you look at your picture of the cave entrance, you can see a face of a animal. a heart, a bell, and other little things. There are clues hidden in plain site. Consider the shadows, cracks, and shapes of the rocks as part of a art collage...using the same lines to create a picture. For example, take the picture of the entrance. The large shadow of the entrance is a "bell" but it also doubles as the body for the head of that animal. The ear and head of that animal also double as the lobes of the heart.

ps. L would not mean "left". That is simply way out of context.

So on and so forth...[/QUOTE]

Since you found the stone IN a house you just bought, the stone will be of no use for tracking any trail......if it was part of a trail to begin with.

I realize that it is probably of no use since it has been moved. I would just like to know what it is that's carved on here? What do these symbols mean ?

Your welcome dsty. I have heard rumors that old dog is writing a book. If he is I sure hope it is announced. I would sure like to be the first in line to buy one. I sure miss his post.
