All the knife means is not to go beyond this point, danger. Nothing complicated just simple.

A long pace/step makes sense. That way of measuring distance has been used forever. Maybe the standard vera was developed to settle land disputes. Either that or the king started hiring tax collectors that were all the same height.

That's true. But, if you were a very short individual you would "come up short" to pun a phrase. People back then were naturally shorter.

Genetic's keeps us from the treasure!

The knife in the stone maps does not mean danger. The knife means there is a birthday cake at the end of the trail.

I personally think that the knife is like an ancient lode stone compass brujula point which lets one know that the orientation of the map is North...But who can say for certain

The trail on the stones head's north then swings west, and ends at the double circle ( knife ). The stones basically just show the trail to take to all the mines in the area. There are a lot of things missing from the stones. Old agreed that there are stuff missing.

There is more to it than meets the eye nobodie...But I will not reveal what little I know at this time...lol

1,847 is a big number if you're counting steps or rods or vara out in the mountains

I'm just saying that the the trail stone maps are missing the locations of the mines.

With the knife...

You stop at that point and put the knife to your ear.
Your looking for an underground spring IE the water symbol.
Reminds me of that old joke where the Indian Man puts his ear to the earth exclaiming "Buffalo Come" only this is Spanish.
The knife is simply the tool used for many things like dowsing for underground water when needed or a compass if magnetic.
It also helped to have a thirsty horse that pawed at the rock when water was located underground and the horse shoes echoed in the underground spring fed cavern.

The Treasure lies four paws down in a hidden water trapped cave system.

Dig here. X

Are you sure about that nobodie?When I look at the stone maps the location of the mines are right there in front of my eyes...But then again I could be wrong...Maybe my little site is not the one depicted in the stones...Of course I could just have an over active imagination and I am only seeing things that I want to see...

On the trail stone maps there are none. The horse stone has a circle in a circle, that's a symbol for gold mine. On the priest stone has the circle in a circle and a heart and cross in a rectangle next to them. What they did was used 2 already dug out gold mines and put the treasure in them and closed them.

You may be right nobodie...I could be trying to force squares into circular holes...

I will not try to explain my views any further...lol...I am content in knowing what little I know...

Don't be silly. It's a steak knife.

 

[nobodie]

However, the x's on the trail maps might mean an area to look into. Most of trail is on low and high ridges, all of x's points at a trail marker. What that means is that the line of the x is a canyon and that there is a marker at the head of the canyon. Something in the canyon. At the beginning of the trail is a cross and what looks like a tombstone with 2 lines in it. What that is saying is there are 2 church treasure or caches somewhere around the trail. Nothing complicated just simple.

There is a old mine at every location on the trail stones. All located in Hewitt and Millsite Canyons. The same area Travis was visiting. What came first. The chicken or the egg. Did he first find the old mines then make the maps? Tom K, Keith and I found the last one this spring. The R in the right upper corner of the trail stones stands for Rodgers. The maps can be placed in many areas. You need to look where Travis was doing his thing. Hewitt and Millsite.
