Spanish & KGC in the ozark mountains.

Here's one to think on. If during the civil war, soldiers where finding and relocating Spanish treasure. What kind of symbolism would they use to mark the way to the stash. Compass degrees, a knife, guns, abbreviations, names, there's all kinds of possibilities.
 

Just a story to share, a friend of mine that has passed was raised in Ark. near Russelville, this person came by every year came walking in stayed a couple of weeks and then left, my friend was 9 years old at the time he kind of sneaked thru the woods and watched the man was camped near a stream about a mile from the friends house and had a lot of rags hanging from the tree limbs, I figured that the man was digging dirt from a near-by hillside putting it in the rags taking it to the stream an washing the dirt away and checking for diamonds / gems. Just thinking that a lease, a dozen diapers GET permission and there you go.

That's where I live. I've found silver and gold around here, but no gemstones
 

This friend of mine near Russelville, His dad had a country grocery store Very Possible in a intersection I would venture to say in the 1940's/ 50/ 60's Topo map should show the location They also had aerial photos in that time period. I don't know if anything was found or not.
 

Don't know why I didn't mention it here before, but folks looking at maps of Arkansas in the early part of the 20th century can find them here:

Just pick your county. They are extremely accurate. Why would that help here? Well, the early highways closely followed the original roads in this country ... good starting points.
 

Old topo maps show the original names of places to. Forgotten grave yards. If they're real old they may show clues to stuff in the way the elev. lines are drawn.
 

I've got an 1889 topo of my area. There's things marked on it that have changed over the years.

There's a witch. And a duck in the elv lines.
 

Chadeaux have you seen a hickory tree manipulated before. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1496630381.022625.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1496630405.589717.webp. This is the first tree like this I have found not on a ancient thorough fare.
 

Mark60 sorry it took awhile. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1496631087.384032.webp I had to figure out how to mark up photos again.
 

I've got another old topo with a humming bird on it.
