Hello to all!
Been a member for a couple of weeks but finally got the nerve to post something..........
I was bored one night when the History Channel Jesse James Treasure show came on. I hesitate to confess that this was what gave me treasure fever since I have read some less than "two thumbs up" reviews by treasure hunters out there but here is the deal:
Those symbols I saw reminded me of symbols I ran across in a small cave where I used to play as a kid. Back then I just knew the "cavemen" had carved them but since watching that special I have gone back to that place and found that there are quite a few more symbols that I never saw as a kid and that they make no sense. My avatar picture shows the one that I remembered as a kid. No idea what it means.
I tried telling my story to a couple of people that I know but it is so unimaginable to the average Joe that there might be buried treasure out there that they just laugh. Hence, you all are my new support group.
So anyway, now I am trying to absorb all that I can find regarding treasure symbol identification and meaning.
By the way, anyone know of a good metal detector for starting out?
