Thanks all for your humor and insight. Seeing the topic is treasure hunting and that this topic is what is it I may have posted to the wrong forum. I have moved it down to Spanish signs and symbols.
A footnote sharing information regarding interpretation of a symbol is not giving anything away. Except insecurity in one self. A group of symbols does not lead to a treasure but to a direction or possibly an interpretation of part of a story.
Have you all forgotten where you all came from? Many of you were noobs or still are. You all learned from old timers that have passed on. The only thing you have in their memory is the stories and knowledge they passed on to you. You may act that the information they gave you are state secrets. No one is asking you to give up a location that you may be working on. But sharing/ confirming the most basic of information is nothing less than childish.
We all had a beginning and we all have an end so are you going to hoard it all and have it end with you? People that do this are like the ones that spend their whole lives in one location saying it is here. They are so wrapped up in their project they refuse to give up and go crazy, broke or insane.
You need to step back and get a breath of fresh air. You are no the end all be all. You can judge peoples experience by there answers and the questions they ask. Arm chair treasure hunters will drive you crazy. They have knowledge to a point but you can smell them out. Just like dowsers, dowsers will always tell you where to dig for a percentage but will never pick up a shovel!
To all you wanna be's you will never know , love or understand the beauty of being out in he mountains at 9000 feet or above! The smell of pine! The beauty of a sunrise you will never know. Using a 5 gallon bucket to haul dirt from a hole 20 feet deep. You may never find a treasure in your life but you have slept under a blanket of stars with no less than 25 shooting stars seen in a night. In the distance see a half a dozen camp fires on the distance mountains.
Sure you may have read about signs or symbols but you have never discovered one! Keep your secrets. I will keep your secret of being an arm chair treasure hunter.
