Treasure Hunter's Field Notebook by Mike "Hawkeye" Pickett

I've been researching treasure symbols and came across the Treasure Hunter's Field Notebook by Mike "Hawkeye" Pickett and I was wondering if anyone out here has read it and what your opinion of it was if you have. Thanks!

Don't get it from the university site...it too me quite a few months to receive one and i know others who never got theirs at all...Don't take the chance unless Mike comes on personally and tells you too...if you want the book just pay the price booksellers are asking...at least you will get it....

Yes I have an autographed copy that I treasure. For hundreds of years the Spaniards sailed to North America to find treasure. Gold and silver in particular. With the help(?) of Indian and Mexican natives conscripted into the exploration parties, many treasure sites were found.

Often the Spaniards had only a few months of supplies so finding, recovering and bringing treasure back to Spain was a massive operation. Therin lies the rub!

When a Spanish treasure site was left, for whatever reason (cave flooded, collapsed, bad air, hostile population etc) the Spanish Treasure Laws required them to cover, bury and hide every location. REturning to Spain they carried maps showing where each mine or treasure store were located. And notations of special treasure signs, distances and code words for reeturn expeditions to relocate the sites.

And mandatory Death Traps were built for each site. Mike "Hawkeye" Pickett has drawn as many of these treasure signs as possible in his book. Treasure signs may be monuments, mountain peaks or features, carvings on rocks, smaller animal shaped rocks, all wherever they were. Our Southwest is full of these signs. Lots of them. With Hawkeye's book these signs can usually be interpreted as guideposts to additional signs.

The Death Traps are real. Locating a treasure sign saying "this is it" is a warning to stop your search right now. There will always be a death trap. It was the Law. So with this book a person can get clues about hidden treasure, and get into deep trouble. Maybe to disappear forever.

But it is such a good book. Along the Colorado river in S/W Colorado some rock faces are covered with carved signs. That would be an interesting trip to see them.

Along with Mike's Field Notebook you absolutely need another book "Death Traps to Treasure". Which details just how ingenius the Spaniards were securing their treasures. The links are shown below. Highly entertaining and educational. Fun to read!

With the price of Gold mike could be on another hunt. Maybe not as a "digger" but maybe as a guide. Central America has some newly discovered treasure sites. What is needed are Spanish shipping documents. Like Bills-of-lading every trip had paperwork. Returning to a tresaure site or buried loot, required some obscure GPS directions. "Head to the Superstition Mountains, find the third peak and follow that direction for seven days till you see a carved duck, turn right for ....." Of course the directions required clarification for the Spaniards. Was the time period hours, days, a days march, one moon phase. A clear straight line direction of 127 yards by a hill may also mean a127 yards through the hill. Not over.

If you can translate old spanish and are near Santa Fe New Mexico, there is a library of shipping documents from old Spain. Who knows how many sites were discovered, a death trap tripped, explorers buried along with the site markings?

If a mine played-out, or was too labor intensive, or flooded or bad air, whatever the site was still documanted. In case the latest mining technology the Spaniards had could reopen them. Must be a lot of those somewhere.

Maybe I'll try some dowsing for that. I'll let you'all know if I hit pay dirt. Maybe.

Okay, mike is an amazing fellow treasure hunter, and he should be famous. I have a copy, I had one earlier, but it was stolen, so I got a newer one. Ten plus years aside, I recently came to several important realizations, based upon the fact that the ones who wrote and designed the multi-layered Spanish secret codex were the priests, using the first four chapters of the new testament. "For where your treasure is, there will be your heart also." 12:34. A damaged heart is a trap symbol, obviously. There is so much more that I will not tell you now. Numeric values are also hidden. If the catholic priest says "Stop here, we will rest, and I will pray." then there must be a symbol or sign that only he can recognize, and then from where he kneels down, as th sun reaches the highest point in the sky, from his vantage point there is an instruction that others cannot see.
If you ever encounter numbers, with one carved in, and another raised, you are close, but you have to be particularly careful. 7 and 6 are among the most dangerous, as the indicate that your time on earth is potentially short.
Remember, these are based upon the first four books of the Bible, from the dark ages.
