strange pile of rocks

[Twilla]

mercinarie I have found some things that I believe are carvings in rocks, but as usual Im never sure if there natural or not. heres a couple of pictures that look like a face carved in rock to me. I painted one of them to show what I see. whatda you see?

I was just wondering if anybody besides myself thinks that the line coming down from the eye, nose and mouth looks like a lightning bolt? It sure looks like one to me!

I dont think you need to be looking at all those natural rock formations, you have largely ignored your most important find. in these 3 pics tell me what you see. then compare this to known spanish finds.

the "tomb stone" rock is missing a part? possibly/ most likely one or both of the pieces laying at its base.
there apppears to be either a 7 or an N carved into the face of it.
there is a cross carved/gouged into the rock on the ground in the back ground.
in the foreground there is a pointer? maybe even a V carved into it.
there is an indian trail tree in the background too. im not 100% but it appears to be carved with an upside down T .

i would clean some of these rocks and if you have to move them take plenty of photos first.
i would like to see photos of this whole site.
i have marked some of the intresting ones on your pics.
are you planning to go back to this part of the site?

Well folks I'm finally back from my trip to Oregon,I had a great time driving down the coastal highway

101 from the top of Oregon to the bottom and while at the bottom I bought a magic treasure hunting

gadget from accurate locator's in Gold Hill Oregon. I got home yesterday afternoon so Ive had very little

time to play with my new toy but heres a picture of it. Its a Runabout Underground Surveyor Apparatus

and is supposed to be great at finding a tunel or metal in the earth at depths of up to 200 feet under

ideal conditions. I did get to run out into the yard and do a quick scan of the culvert under my driveway,

unlike my other magic gadget this scan took a few seconds instead of ten minutes to lay out a grid and

do a scan. I have high hopes that this gadget will find a tunnel at my site if one exists.

Twilla and Peerless67 thanks for your ideas, I will write as soon as I get a chance to look back at my

pictures.

You may have stumbled onto avery helpful device!

You have at least peaked my interest with this one.
it should make the search much less difficult. I would like to see how it works at a depth of 10 to 15 feet.

looks man made,but beware of snakes and it looks like there can be a trap so please very carefully.

 

[TLH]

Twilla I am so sorry it took me so long to answer your post, I have had so


much going on in my life I haven't had much time to spend on the internet, I'm

hoping that situation will improve shortly and Ill be able to get back to the things I

enjoy most, Like Treasure hunting and TreasureNet. I see what your talking about

with the lightening bolt, It forms the front of the face. I always thought the

face was a Spanish one with a sharp nose and chin, but that could be a death sign

cunningly hidden in the face. Thats a good call Twilla and the timing is right on

cause the places I'm checking out are where that face is pointing to. I'm looking

forward to more of your posts on your treasure hunt, they were interesting.

 

[TLH]

Peerless67 I offer the same apologies to you that I did to Twilla. You

obviously spent a lot of time looking at my pictures of the tombstone rock and see

a lot of things that I missed, I wish I had used a better camera for those photos

cause they would be a lot easer to interpret. Those pictures are the only ones I

have of that area,its kinda difficult to get up to that location, Its up on top of

an 800 foot mountain and there are only a few other rocks that might be signs near

it .

I am going back up there again, that area was the first that I found but It was

difficult to get to compared to all of the other signs Ive shown and I could never

tell if it was a part of the whole site or another separate site or nothing at

all. Ive found pictures on the internet of rocks that are supposed to be treasure

signs that look exactly like the tombstone rock, and it is in a location that no

one would be just passing by and put that rock there for the fun of it. The reason

I concentrated on the place that Ive shown all the pictures of is because I found

signs there[ Some Ive shown] that to me were not only clearly man made but did not appear to be made

by the usual suspects, like people with nothing better to do, Surveyors, modern

miners, sheep herders, and most of all 1800s Mexican miners,most of the signs I

see on the internet I believe are Mexican signs. But I will be going back to the

Tombstone rock, your ideas about the sighs there have got me interested, and now I

can look for tunnels with my new Magic Treasure finding Gadget.

 

[TLH]

yilpet thanks for your warning about the traps, I always try and be careful.

Snakes are not a problem where I live and hunt, Its to high and to cold for any

self respecting snake to want to live here.

I finally got a chance to test my Magic Treasure Hunting Gadget [MTHG] in the

field. I hiked up to an old poor boy mine not to far from my house and did a scan

across the top and I am pleased and hopeful to say the least.

Slides have all but closed off the tunnel entrance so only a small opening at

the top of the entrance is visible, I peeked inside and from what I could see it

looks like the opening of the tunnel is about five feet tall, It also looked like a

bear had been using the tunnel for a den so I didn't go in and look around. The

tunnel is in decomposed Granite which is kinda unstable so some shoring was viable

inside the opening. My scan was done on a very narrow ledge about 15 or 20 feet

above the opening, I had hoped I could get an accurate measurement of the distance

from the scan to the top of the tunnel but from where I scanned to the top of the

tunnel was very steep, so I had to make a guess.

You will notice that the ground surrounding the tunnel shows up as red instead

of blue like the scan of the culvert in my driveway, thats because the soil around

the tunnel is highly mineralized, which is probably why they were mining there. The

colors can tell you something about the rock but when hunting for a tunnel what

your really looking for is a difference from the surrounding rock, and an empty place

in the ground is different.

So far I'm happy with what Ive seen the MTHG do, I would still like to scan a

known tunnel thats deep, maybe 100 feet or so, and if I could see that I would feel

confidant I could see a Spanish tunnel.

 

[djui5]

I gotta get one of those.

 

[TLH]

Well djui5 for an arm and a leg------- and a kidney--- and part of a pancreas you can have one just like it. I just hope this gadget works when the chips are down. I know its still not going to be easy to find a Spanish tunnel cause Mother nature has put a lot of empty spaces underground herself so I have to find out which ones are natural and which are man made. I guess I'm lucky that even thou my site is in a gold mining district, there are no tunnels there, all the gold was Placer gold and the old timers never found a gold outcrop to tunnel into and never found out how the gold got into the river. So any thing I find underground that looks like a tunnel should be a Spanish one

 

[djui5]

That gold had to come from somewhere!

 

[TLH]

That it did djui5 and my hope is that it came from the vains that the Spanish were working. I believe the Spanish found gold in the river, followed it to its source up in the mountains, and found one or more vains. They then mined the gold and that hid the source of the placer gold in the river. The Spanish miners then got caught up in the Mexican revolution and were unable to return to their hidden mines. I have been told that some of the Mexican Peons that had worked for the Spanish returned at a later date and tried to find the mine, but local legend says they were unsuccessful so they settled in the area as farmers and ranchers, where there great great Grandchildren live today. and If that story didn't put you to sleep I have more.

You might get a copy of del rey metallica and read up....one of the ways the spaniards found thier mineral deposits was by watchin out for how trees and bushes were growing. Trees like yours could be expalined by a high mineral content in the ground stunting and or altering thier growth. Kinda like a bad case of hard water...

There are a few things to look for i will mention since you are in the same state....and judging from the pics you are up around boulder perhaps.

Email me and i'll share a few pics from down south. But look for your chisel marks to confirm what you think.

[TLH]

Thanks for the book idea, I had never heard of it, I will see if I can find it.

The chisel marks suggestion is something I have given some thought to in the past, and have come to the conclusion that chisel marks or the lack thereof are confusing. I think that I have seen chisel marks in some places at my site but I’m not sure. I haven’t seen anything that I would definitely say is a chisel mark. On the other hand I went down to the Superstition Mountains in Arizona a few years back just to find and look at some of the signs that Kenworthy had shown in his books. I found a few and studied them and could see no chisel marks, I looked at some of the rocks in the monuments that had to have been shaped, but I couldn’t see any marks showing that they had been worked.

As usual I'm confused, but these are the thoughts I’ve come up with. [1] Maybe nothing I’ve looked at are real Spanish signs. [2] Maybe I wouldn’t know what a chisel mark looked like if it bit me on the butt. [3] possibly chisel marks erode away over time and become hard to see. [4] maybe the rocks were shaped with tools and techniques that didn’t leave tool marks. [5] It could be that some monuments have tool marks and some don’t depending on what year they were built.

I would love to see any pictures you can send me , and any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated . Email is on the way.

 

[djduk00]

A LONG post here so I didn't read it all but I do have one suggestion.
In the winter months you should be able to see water vapor rising from holes in the ground(tunnels\vents) on cold days or mornings. Good Luck.....

 

[Old Dog]

TLH,
Send me an email, I have some apix that AZstomper will agree are superb.
Some show the chisel marks quite well.

BTW Azstomper is a hunting partner of mine, no wories... good guy.

Your opening picks sure are a curiosity. I know that turtles represent the rate at which shadow casts move, and judging from your overall collection of photos of this area, shadow casts are probably the key here. The squared standing stone that looks like a pointer is aiming at a large flat stone in the distance, and represents the point at which the map comes together. Look for a head shaped stone beyond, as a rock or stone that resembles a Knight's helmet, and another heart stone along a path that resembles the shape of a French curve, below the mine. Most concealed tunnels are in a cubby or inclave below a shoulder. I'm sure the entrance is plugged. Twisted

Post 326 : Enclosed here are scaled down versions of the same stone. Your dealing with phallic symbols at this site. This must have been a rough group of romantics. The erect figure is in waiting....The female is out of reach due to her cycle. Time "period "is the key (shadows). She is not in site at this point. Blocked from view. The sun rises and falls over the days the two lovers await each other (emotional highs and lows) on the path of life. and so on.........
