Has anyone one seen this before - a carving with a drill hole threw it? What does that mean? Any ideas would be appreciated. DSCF3289.JPG

Dsty - So you approach this the same as you would any drill hole? Sorry I can't improve upon pic. I'm out of town with limited means and don't have measurements with me. Do you have any idea why it was put threw a symbol?
Thanks pearl

Nice pic Pearl, Just my opinion, but the horse-symbol, is there to give you bearings, if you didn't have symbol around hole,well it would be a round hole with no direction, you probably already know, as you took the photo in right direction. Probably enough information in the hole and symbol, that hole measurements,shouldn't be needed. Get your bearing, follow the symbol, &c. Were is the horse going or coming from, probably coming from,follow horse tail, good luck Justintime

Wow Justin- you just made me look at the whole rock different. I hadn't even thought of where its going/coming from in regards to the other symbols around it. I know bearings for nose and tail but I wasnt looking at whats around it. Thanks. I'm rethinking this.

Can you show the whole rock? Id like to see how big it is and what direction the hole is facing. Might be something.

So is the flat rock on the ground or on the side of the hill?

Hello pearl54, regardless what you hear size does matter, depth matters, comfurence does matter,width does matter, IF it is carved all the way thru the rock it still matters, 48 inches depth = 48 inches divide by 4 = 12, it looks like the drill hole slopes toward the bottom and that matters, they didn't make mistakes, everything for a reason.

Depends on the area. Without knowing geography, for all we know, it could be a corn-hole (a place for grind'n up stuff).

Charlie, I thought maybe there would be a basic meaning for drill hole threw symbol. Like you read in books, Kenworthy's for example -bird wings mean change direction.
But I guess not. Your probably right - its a corn hole (as you call it)

Hey, I'm not saying I'm right or wrong. Having only one picture (a limited one at that) isn't much to go on. And yes, I know there will be tons of people to tell you this that or the other.

Basically, look at it like a big puzzle to figure out. Start their and work your way out from that point. Like a center. It won't be easy, but, if you really want to know, you'll do some work. I spent 2+ years on my current site.

Another thing. To hell with Kenworthy. He didn't know anything other than what he gleened from others who actually did all the hard work.

Pearl, you need to decide if the hole was drilled through the symbols later on..or if it was made at the same time. For example, one line of the horse does not seem cut off at all, but rather ends before the drill hole starts.
