Has anyone ever seen these symbols before?

[Mr Lancaster]

They were printed from a computer, but found in a jar buried under some boulders. Was searching for some rumored lost coin caches, found this. Now my curiosity has the best of me. I know I recognize them I just don't know how. Thanks!

Interesting.....

Myabe Geocache code? The circumstances seem to point to that.

 

[slith]

can you give me the lat and long that the gar was found or a gen area as i geocache and can check on the main site for a cache of that type

Not sure about all of them, but a few of those are cherokee writing symbols, google native american writing symbols, then look under images.

Thanks I will. Inside of the jar I found letters of correspondence between two men about a hidden and now discovered library, tablets that needed deciphered (mentioned in the letters. No physical tablets) and some other cryptic stuff, including a map. Took pics of all the pages then put everything back. As much as I want it to be something amazing I'm a little skeptical due to the nature of the paper and the obvious computer printing. Will find the location marked on the map before I dismiss it completely. But hey, any body wanna make a cache/possible practical jokers opus run next week in the lancaster area? Lol. Btw if someone from the area is serious will pm the full documents. Could be fun or the most frustrating weekend ever

if you don't mind, post all you found, some one will figure it out.

Post this over on the signs and symbols section. I think I've seen it before.

thinking its a Cryptogram

agreed it looks like a geocache code in the form of a Symbol Cryptogram
i did a frequency count of your Symbols, there are 2 double symbol/letters
they could be in one word, or the end and begining of words
EX: door, paddle,agree, find-dine,pole-eat
The "top five letters" are E T A O and N in english

frequency count of your Symbols

You do have a puzzle, someone using a ancient form of writing sending messages in bottles.
