Blurry.
And a picture.

Wild guess is "cells" being made . Like a landfill using clay .
Heavy equipment making the shapes.
An oval above the sign getting worked , and equipment turns making the rounds at one end by turning, driving a radius.. (?)

Depth observation/contour map might help. That one end could be higher if being built up.

Edit. Quarry operation.
No , l.o.l. No treasure sign.

It points to "Treasure Island", where Long John Silver buried his pieces of eight. He wasn't called "Long John" for nothing. His parrot is also buried there. Died as a result of overfeeding. As he reportedly said at the time: "well, that's a weight off my shoulders".

I think you should sit on that treasure marker theory for a while and see what pops up buddy. :thumbsup:

It's just a pair of scissors in a fringed sheath.

So not a treasure marker.... :laughing7:

On a side note, this is a quarry that the natives harvested chert... Bayport chert is the term used for this type of chert.

I hope Long John's parrot wasn't a Norwegian Blue. It may not have been dead, just stunned. "Norwegian Blues stun easily, major."
