The figure to the right of the fat owl is a possible other owl. It could be other things, however the seeming m outline of its top..seems suggestive. But that is main reason i posted it..only potential i have of two owls one rock. plus the usual suspects are within sight. i edited my post to add another pic. Backwood..yes duck and...maybe serpent share space. Got to say in the past i did not consider a short triangle shape beak as being duckish..but some of the examples in the thread show that so i guess i will reconsider lol.

This is mostly a Post for Sandy, I didn't know where to put it, but I'm sure it will appeal to you all, it's about a very old friend, Treasure Hunter EXTRORDINAIRE 100_8848.JPG 100_8844.JPG 100_8843.JPG 100_8842.JPG 100_8845.JPG 100_8847.JPG

Not very good at Links <http://www.scottthomasanderson.com/furyoffrankfish.php> try that, then find his articles of The Fish Papers & Footsteps of Fish

Awesome book Happytrails. Frank L. Fisher, the real Indiana Jones it seems. Is this book still available? Did you know him personally?

Looks like he used a two box metal detector..... The modern two boxes are a joke in my experience. I've used a Gemini and a different one I can't recall the name and the penetration was WEAK. They cannot detect deeper than a few feet if at all in some cases.

hi i am a 2 box fisher expert user, i had pick up tragets with gemini 3 at about 9 feet, andway deeper with separate boxes, and writing a book with at least 5 different ways to balance for different soils, but the book will be spanish version, i dont trust translators like google translate etc, they are not perfect, if i ever publish the book in english, im going to have to do the translation but will be a lot of job. lol.

Nice stuff there pro. You have differently found a site and at the right place. Although your pieces are different from what I've seen does mean you can't find help.

The first pic may be an alignment rock, it is 500 lbs or so, but i would need to check it for a directional line. The second triangle/bear face, is quite small but in the immediate area of a mine that i have not yet located, so i was wondering if this smaller type would indicate the direction of the alignment rock? or the entrance itself? This area is where the trail ends.

T-horn, that's a neat picture, tell us about the Moss and Rock Lichen a little bit. From the picture I would venture to guess that it's maybe North or a variation of it, and certain rocks in there don't have as much?

Sandy I have but in a very discreet way. Except for the top picture of koman. Here you will only see half of a sign. Like the cross. I found a metal piece that is only half the picture. The mirror images is used to complete the sign.

I will go back and clean it up. That rock is larger than i originally thought. I bet its 6 foot long and 1200 pounds or so. If it is an alignment rock, then is there some sort of confirmation mark on it that i should be looking for? or just a good compass line indicator?

HT55 - It is on the Northern edge of a huge horseshoe like mountain. High humidity leads to a lot of overgrowth and vegetation. The white is common, but i have saw where they created their own and used like paint to draw turtles, and symbols that are hard to see. There is a lot of red in the sandstone and iḿ wondering if they were not hunting gems. but the old timers say it was silver. This trail comes out of a protected campsite and i will show you the view from the opposite direction...

You can still see the old trails in places. I wonder if the rock on the right might be something i need to check out... it looks like there is a place to stand and view from it...
