Does this area have any gold or silver caches not deeper than 6 feet?

There is a priest at the top of the cliff looking to the North East

Thank you Arthur.

I will check out the Spanish Marker to try and under stand how it works

It makes no difference how you enjoy treasure hunting as long as you are having fun

Hello widomanmx,

Is the entrance with the Spanish booby trap--that black hole centered directly below the symbol?

Were you able to find a second entrance that was not trapped?

Do you know the name / type of rock with that shinny black color--reminds me kinda of coal or a sulfide ore
 
I would like to see a close up

Hello widomanmx,
Is the entrance with the Spanish booby trap--that black hole centered directly below the symbol?
This big rock is a monument and is seated over small rocks
.. i dug to look carefully symbols and confirm trap direction
.. here no entrance because floor is shallow bedrock, like 40-50cm depth
.. black hole below is light/shadow from hole/space between rocks (seated)

Were you able to find a second entrance that was not trapped?
Monument is only a trap and maybe road indicator .. self rock is a king

Do you know the name / type of rock with that shinny black color--reminds me kinda of coal or a sulfide ore
I dont know about rocks

Hello Arthur, post # 13 "I would like to see a close up"

I went out yesterday to take a photo--and I got rained out. I will keep trying until I get the photo
 
See if there is anything here, to indicate a tunnel. The circle is up in the top right of first photo, easy to find in the other pic.

Red Desert,

I will try my best to go there this week and check it out, and take a better photo.
 
Thanks Barton, this site I can see already has a lot of carvings. Here is a better look at the circle on last photo.
