With a couple of modern tools (RotoZip, Dremel, etc.), a few books on TH lore, some topo maps, a knowledge of Colonial Spanish and some field time setting up fake monuments, etc., a smart guy with a wicked sense of humor could create similar or better fakes than these and send the gomers into the hills for years chasing phantoms. If he were truly unscrupulous, he could sell them to an even more gullible and greedy gomer with lots of money. Wake up and smell the coffee.
Gollum raises an interesting point though - by trying to figure out these fakes, a rookie might gain substantial experience in orienteering, historical research methods, and how to survive on foot in rough country. This might prepare him for a real search if the opportunity ever fell into his lap later.
