gh: the one with tomahawk marks, were their still chalk marks on them. also the one that looks like plus sign. do you know which way the long end points, it seems to point to the small notch at top of sign. also that 90 degree angle cut deeper. short end may point to something. on number 5 that seems to be an arrow cut in that rock. at the top. remember one thing, before the dam was put in the sandy was only 30 feet wide at the line of rock. average depth was one to three feet. the dam caused a lot of problems for treasure hunters.

Did not see any chalk remains on the hatchet marks... The plus appeared to point in direction towards the cove where u can climb up to hike back to the rockhouse with 3 trees were once... Appears to be numerous symbols there...

Below few more pics ..from hand carved... heading left around the cliff........ Following my path over two shelters...

Numerous unusual marks or carvings.. definitely not natural... Not sure what many of these are.... On the path of the waybill...

Our local cave exploring group "esso grotto" shared some pics from their outings yesterday.... I recognized one of their pics from near Carter City kentucky... This is the old silver mine... Near rock spring that lekain supposedly mined in the 1750's... The old Carter City school... Stone building where my father graduated from this school in the 1950's is very near....

Great pics...been all over that area.. arcoss from the line of rocks is the starting point for the 6 Indian silver mines...As far as I know I am the only one that found the rainbow...and all but one of six of the mines. Your picture of the long rock on its edge with a gap between it and the wall is also part of the directions to the mines.

Thanks for commenting Curtis... I have followed and read all of ur post on tnet for Indian waybill and Elliott County area... Would love to talk to u about that area.. wished I could have attended meeting of the minds back then...

Am fascinated by the waybill... Wanting to find and see all I can ..carvings ..marks.. the mines... Anything that relates to the indians ..french and Swift......and the possibility that JS mined here or others mined here that he knew...

Yesterday wife and I went to lid gap...explored... Took many photos... Saw shelters.. carvings.. the mine there... Posted pics on Steelys Facebook site on swift... Will post here shortly...

Own farm very close to Stampers property on Mcglone creek... Near Carter City... Lekains area... My grandmother knew tid bits about the story and area ..grew up hearing this and that... Caved at Carter city Caves.. allegunink system when I was younger... Counterfeit and cow cave... And nearby rock spring..

Been following waybill...been to line of rocks explored shelters there..now at lid gap...

Kayak here often..familiar with the area ... Love this...

Hiked up thru the cliff found an old ladder someone had used to climb on top cliff towards the indian stair steps on the other end...

Fasinating area...

I've found many X's and unreadable markings throughout this area, I've siphered endlessly bout what they are and mean. Beautiful country, the stories and legends and treasure keep me from staying away from it for very long.
