I found an interesting rock feature in the Santa Catalina Mtns north of Tucson that has multiple windows in it. On one interior wall and the ceiling there are some glyphs that appear to be pale yellow paint, rock discoloration as if from acid, and shiny metallic paint of unknown source. I've shown the photos to an archaeologist and she believes it to be graffiti from years ago. I don't know what to make of it other than graffiti. Any ideas?

Good eye for the pictures you took, even if you didn't know what they meant! The first picture is a head pointing to the left. Can you see the face? The nose is the direction of travel.
Picture 2 is a treasure sign. See the long leg on the right. that is the side to dig. The straight line is the horizon or you are on flat land. the lower slash line is helpful for the direction of travel.
Picture 3 is a Heart. it means TREASURE!!!
Picture 4 is a mine sign. Without being there, I would say it is down to the left since that side of the A is lower than the right, which means treasure location. Or the mine is up to the right where the pick is pointing.
Picture 5 Look through the hole, and once you know what you are looking at, you will see your mine. Might be several miles away.
As far as getting information from an archeologist find one who has field experience. If they aren't treasure hunters they can only relate to the box they grew up in. I know there are many good archeologist, but once you mention treasure most will write you off.
