anybody can help me?I have a lot of treasure sign and symbols in my lot.i hope that anybody help me to identify whats the meaning,,thanks

Maybe they're all just random squiggles, random shapes, or graffiti meaning nothing, etc.... ? Ie.: a "sign or symbol" need-not-necessarily be a TREASURE sign and symbol.

jonhjothurs, where are your photos ? I don't see them in this thread or linked here.

And come to think of it, even my own back-yard is decorated with various shaped objects. Perhaps even a heart, a perfect square (the stepping stones back there), a circle (the other stepping stones), a perfect cube (the chimney bricks), an oval/sphere (the top of our trash incinerator), and endless other "shapes" I can dream up, if I stare long enough . But I can assure you: None of them means "treasure is in my back-yard".

Tom, I still think they rate listening to despite the odds of being anything concrete. As for beliefs we have a forum here dedicated to seeing unusual shapes & signs, most are patently of a hopeful immagination but --- If we can give them the courtesy of listening to them and making up our own minds we can do no less for our Phililline friends.

Whatcha think of this for example fact or fiction?

random coincidental shapes meaning nothing. And someone in the past who use the rock as a grinding stone/pestle., Someone who toed in a fixture to a hole he carved in a rock, etc....

Sorry, but I gotta side with real de tayopa on this : So what if the "Japanese stopped and rested there" ? They no doubt stopped and rested LOTS of places. Since when does that mean any odd-rock you see is a treasure symbol ? People in history have stopped to rest a bazillion places, none of which have treasure. Yup, even rich people "stop and rest". Doesn't mean anyone ditched their stuff there.

but according to my grandfather ....

Well gee: My grandfather too had lots of tall tales and superstitions. That I'm sure he was quite sincere on as well. He'd come to the So. CA deserts as a young 20-something worker in the 1920s. So he had lots of tales of wild camels that still wander the deserts. And the "lost pearl ship", etc.... I'm sure he was quite sincere.

You think you and your grandfather aren't susceptible to the "telephone game" and "treasure hysteria" ? Consider the following true story:

How the telephone game can go awry, even from first-hand witnesses:

A buddy of mine was working sidewalk tearouts in an old-town district. Every few days, they tore out another section of old town sidewalk. But because they filled it with concrete the very same day, my friend had to be there right-during their lunch hour to hunt the dirt.

The workers were enthralled at his daily take of seateds, barbers, tokens, etc... He'd show them as they returned from lunch. One day he found an owl-shaped amulet charm thing. It was gold colored, and had red jewels for the eyes. As he showed it to the curious workers, he mused "it might be gold" (based on the color). And it probably dates to the 1800s (based on the age of the coins he'd found in the area). And "the eyes might be rubies", etc....

That night, at home, as he cleaned and inspected his finds, he studied the owl charm thing. Turns out that it was just cheap costume gold plated jewelry from the 1920s. And the red-jeweled eyes were just red glass chip.

The next day, he was out there again doing his thing. A new driver of heavy equipment was eyeing him intently. The worker finally got the nerve to come over and ask what he'd found. My friend told him that he'd found nothing but junk that day.

The worker launched into stories of how, the day before, that another md'r had found "all sorts of old old gold coins, etc...". My friend was awestruck! Thinking: "someone must've come here after I left, and found gold coins!". So as the two of them talked, the worker let out an interesting clue:

He mentioned an "owl" thiny. So my friend busted up laughing saying: "oh, that was me. And no, there it wasn't gold. And no, there wasn't gold coins, just a few IH's and a barber from the 1800s, etc..." But the worker would not be dissuaded! He was convinced there must've been some other md'r there, who found these goodies.

How did he know?? Because he "heard it first hand" from his buddies. Around the water cooler that morning . And they "saw it first hand"


Do you see how quickly the telephone game evolves ? And that was a single night!! Go figure if you add 70 yrs. Doh!
