[TLH]

He guys and gal ( by the river), that last bent tree is Jesuit. There is a Jesuit turtleback only a pace away on this side with the cleft palate.The missus and I own a boat shed on the shores of Port Philip Bay Australia. It was only a year ago that I stopped roaming all over the state hunting Jesuit evidence, as 50 years ago somebody reckoned the site would be ideal for a boatshed. In the 17th or 16th century the Jesuits chose the same site for the same reason. I am waiting on dowsing weather as I want to pinpoint the caches here. I have dozens of trees within yards of our shed which were all planted and trained into their weird shapes by the Jesuits.

I started looking around the shed with eyes that started seeing after 51 years boating in this area and got a shock. I will post a pic of the boatshed and also a
Jesuit map marker located at the back of the shed. Actually it is a few inches under the shed , and I cannot say there are no caches under the concrete of the shed at this stage.

I have over the past few years found many below the surface Jesuit maps. They mime directions to guide you to their treasures, or lead you away or to your death.. I have been deciphering their rock, tree, below the surface maps and colored sands successfully for the past 3 years since I invented a powerful new dowsing rod in January 2004. I have taught a pupil in the states what to look for and I now have a collection of over 2,000 photos of jesuit markers. My pupil has one of my new fangled rods. Got to go and water the vegies. ( Its a droughty summer here) Will post pics in about half an hour. Turned out to be 24 hours.
I had a guy painting the shed and while he was painting I was pottering. Using the plumbers probe I found many Jesuit markers. The most spectacular one was partly under the back of the shed. Using long roots as a map and miming, the long lasting Moonah roots were placed in such a fashion that they depicted a ball being hit by a bat. The imaginary trajectory of the ball is the direction of the cache.

Thanks for the heads up on the turtle back Max,Ill look at that more carefully next time I'm at the site. I sure could save myself a lot of driving if I had a treasure in my backyard.Hope you dig it up soon, I sure would like to hear more about folks finding treasure and less about looking for it.

Im setting here in a blizzard in colorado with nothing to do but watch the snow

pile up, so a guess ill throw out another picture for everyones amusement. I think

that this is one of those kinds of trail markers that changes as you walk by it on

the trail, it kinda morphs into looking like something else . I know that sounds

like crazy talk, but I read on the internet [ so you know its true] that the

spanish made such a thing. So heres the deal, when you first see it [# 1] I see a

face, a man with a big nose, his nose looks like a pointer.and I have no idea what

that could mean. As you walk further down the trail it changes[# 2 ] and becomes a

packrat [ use your imagination here,these things are supposed to blend in with the

environment ]. A packrat is supposed to represent a storage area or a cache.Then

when you move farther down the trail[ # 3] it becomes------------- I don't think Ill

tell you right now, you look at it and tell me what YOU see [if anything] and after

I plow the driveway [ again ] Ill tell you what I see.

 

[mercinarie]

wow sweet man it surley does morph

as with that third picture i can see the head of a snake but i dunno what else.

 

[Stroover]

I see a snake laying on top of a chest, as if to protect it.

 

[TLH]

Good guesses mercinarie and Stroover but I'm not seeing a snake I see something else.Anybody else before I paint it up?

 

[dowser501]

Hey "by the River" I am awakening a mental giant in you. Look back at the jesuit tree pointing to the left, good, now look at the companion rocks surrounding the tree. They are all pointing in a suggestive manner with their points in the same direction. You could have missed the rocks in the scrub , so hence the tree marker then on to the all important rock markers.
From here on, once you have made the above identifications you have to find the cache by the amount of paces and a certain compass point and a certain depth and be aware and dodge their death traps. max

 

[TLH]

I'm confused Max which picture are you talking about?

Post #93

 

[TLH]

OK heres what I think the morphing rock turns into. I believe its a dead man, a dead man would kinda fit in with the rest of the meanings, now the whole thing would tell you as you walk along the trail,"that way to storage area protected by a death trap". Now this sign is meant to be seen from one hundred yards away,thats where the trail is. these pictures were taken with a big lens to just show the dead man so he wasn't meant to be looked at this close. Also remember that these signs are supposed to be a representations of something and not look exactly like something or they would be to easy to spot.

 

[djui5]

TLH,
Not sure I'm following you at this point. Might wanna take a step back and look around some more.

 

[TLH]

Nice to here from you djui5.You don't see a dead man or don't buy the whole morphing thing? Well I'm still not in phoenix yet, I was supposed to be there wed. but this snow storm has really messed up my plans,now I'm trying for Saturday,this has shortened my trip considerably.

 

[mercinarie]

i see the dead man and if that means death is that death somwhere along the trail or at the treasure or cache site.

 

[cavers5]

Not quite sure how Westerners might mark their trails, but back here in the Eastern hills, we'll pile three or four rocks on top of each other to mark our trails into unknown or unfamiliar territory. As we usually carry nocs, we can see them from a distance and keep track of where we've been. Putting them on top of cliff formations is a good thing, in my book. You can see them from across the valley (with the nocs.) If you have sandstone and limestone in the area, it's even better (white on brown or brown on white.) Perhaps a few of your smaller piled rocks are definite trail markers?

[djui5]

No, not really. I kinda see how it could be interpreted that way, but just doesn't seem to work out that way I don't think. I mean, if you squint and stare for a while, you kinda see something, but you know.

What's interesting is that big nosed face looks a lot like something on one of the Superstition Mountain maps

Saturday is good. Weather here is great! Not to rub it in or anything

 

[Stroover]

Those rock piles, cavers, we have lots of those in Canada. We call them "inuksuk". Different formations mean different things, like you mentioned. As for the part where I could see a snake, go back and look at what you highlighted as a man's skull. That's my snake head. Now, look on top of your dead man's body, that curvy line on top is my snake's body, and your dead man's body is my chest. See what I mean?

Regarding Photo # 93
Bent Tree/Jesuit Marker

I have gone from a pre-school dropout to a new awakening "mental giant"! LOL

Indian Thong Trees are very familiar; Jesuit Trees are new to me and rocks are slowly becoming a reality! I dont know how to read them.

However I did notice a "mask" in the background of photo #93. Also if you look close enough, there may be symbols under the bend at the nose of the tree.

I have attached a copy with highlights to show you what I see! The mask looks like an old man snoring! Maybe someone has software to enhance the area marked symbols. I may be totally off the wall on this....but its fun anyway!

mercinarie I believe the dead man means that the storage room is trapped, if there was a trap along the way I think that the morph would have to give you more information as to its location. of coarse I'm not sure of any of this, I just try to take what Ive read mix it together with what Ive heard from others, throw in some of the areas local history, especially from the local Mexican family's that have been living here forever, and then stir in a large dose of common since. But even after all that I still realize that this is mostly conjecture fueled by a terminal case of gold fever.
I'm finally in Phoneix. The fog is burning off and with any luck it might warm up enough to take off my coat, my Christmas plans are coming together at last.

 

[TLH]

Thanks cavers5 thats interesting about how other folks marked there trails, I'm sure a lot of those Eastern hill people came west and probably brought those trail markers with them. Since I'm not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree please enlighten me, are nocs binoculars ?
