I’m confused. Was the crown, shovel and x in the rock or on the ledge?
I take it the rock has cracks in the surface if they were able to drive wooden wedges into it. This sounds quite interesting. Photos always help in cases such as these. Thanks for posting

The rock had been wedged off of the top of a overhang you could see were they had drove two wedges in a Crack on it but it broke off a little higher up we thought someone was perhaps made it drop to cover up a cave or hole the carvings were done on top of the rock after it had fell we were looking for the Johnson Swift Silver Mine it was then our family we had just found some signs that we had been told about when we were trying to go in the directions they were pointing us to we discovered the ledge and found the rock laying there my brother scraped the carvings off of the top thinking he would keep anyone from finding it

A picture is worth a thousand words and would help.
