Animal Sign, Feather Sign

My 2 cents worth, there is a Shepherd on that rock, holding a shepherd's staff! Take a look.

The black circle is around his head, brown around his staff.

Hello Thom, Yes those I believe to be drill holes and may be the start of something interesting,the 1st thing I would try is the two thats on the right hand side should be East and West. if so then it may be the start or another form of a Omega sign.

I am new to all of this but was wondering if someone could help understand the markings on a rock my friend found hunting. The bottom right is part of an old triangle or the number 7. Above it is a turkey track. And the largest carving on top looks like a turkey track with one of the toes not attached or possibly a topographical reference. Any input from those wiser than I would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When my Pardner (Mike) and I came upon this, this other image came into my mind (and I'd seen it before)...Darrell

great photos happytrails55,thanks for posting them. in the photo of the rocks with the coin.the far right rock with the cut shelfs i have found before, i belive shortstack told me they are chevrons? i have found them at a couple of areas where i belive a cache is hidden.of course i cant prove it because i havent found any yet. but when i see them,i know iam in a area that has something there. i think anyways,cant prove it yet. i dont find them very often. and i never found one that big. i have found them up and down like that one,and have found them in a left to right string also. dont know yet what the two differant positions mean either. i belive you got a good spot. good luck and thanks for posting the photos.

happytrails55, on page one,the photo that desertmoons picked out does look good, do you have any more photos of that area of stones? look at some of the much smaller stones in that area. if you find any smaller ones that look like the work of man,id love to see them. even if you can move them with your foot,i would still photo them and see what you can come up with. i know they say if you can move it,its not a sign. but from what iam seeing, that statement dosent hold truth in my area.

Happytrails.. that is a happy trail indeed to my eyes

I would suspect you will find a lot of detailed info on those rocks about where to go and what to look for. Well..where to go seems obvious and I don't think it is through the pillars. But could be wrong. With that kind of rock ..time of day is purty important for signs in my experience.
.
But...nosey girl has a few questions...

I take it gold minerals in this area or not too far?

Is there a spring or water source down in that valley behind the monument? Or is there a place in the rocks to pour water to make a pool?It would mean mirror images so I hear if there is a bowl or something in the rocks. If there is a pond or river bend back down there..well...go check it out! Who knows you may even wish to take a dip in it! I'm not sure if there is or is not...kind of would like confirmation on that cause I could be all wrong. If there is..then there will be important signs there.

If it is 200 vara or 200 feet away that would be interesting to know too.

Well Thanks for the Tips (dog,theTreasure Hunter & desertmoons), I'll keep'em in my inventory of memory banks and Next Week, I'll take more pic's to post.......but so far your both pretty accurate, 1st....dog....that rock that appears as a shelf is also a combination of other things as well....the side angle of it of which are in these pic's above, also show that it is a "chair". I know alot about stone chairs, both Ancient and Spanish....In Spanish, it means "a place of rest", which is pretty close to what Kenworthy and others have found in the past, indicating "Caravan", game, water etc....2nd....desertmoons, yes there's water in this area.....within 200 vara's....pic's next week, I promise...Darrell

In the first picture from 1 Beachnut, that picture looks like a gator.

Believe that is a result of the mouth and nose containing a "Shepard Staff".

Got a few more pic's I took yesterday of Trail Markers. My favorite here is the "X", it's got something going on with the left arm of it, reminded me of the Mason's Hooked X, but their X is hooked on the Right Arm, so I'm thinking my X must be a Pull X...Then this other Trail Marker is unique cause it's basically a rectangle squared off stone, knotched on the inside, covered with rock lichen. I got one photo that had some sort of light refraction (red) next to it, that made me wonder if it was a grave of sorts, then I got this other unique stone that looks like a man...intersting stuff, I'll post more later, Darrell

HappyTrails55 · Feb 7, 2013

This next batch of pic's is mostly of what I'm calling "The Man", for now, it could something entirely different, maybe a Bird, not sure, but you can see it a long, long ways off and it sticks out like a sore thumb. I've circled some of the pic's in red but left a few open. Then there's a few other stuff around it that I'm thinking about, where I outlined a number "7" (as like in a resting place), it could be or maybe not...the rocks there are intriguing...I'll post more later.....Darrell
