The cross(dagger) usually points towards the location of the treasure. Usually. ... The other symbols may indicate another place nearby, possibly points or a series of points to look for. I would go in the direction of the long end of the cross, look or any other carving or marker(pile of rocks) if you find a pile try to see if something nearby lines up...or maybe up to a mile or so away...this may be a group in a particular order that you might encounter. Kind of like a Waybill only in symbol form.
