new info
Hello Gents
Been a busy year for me so haven't had much time in the woods. Settling down now though, and have gotten back out there to work my site. Have some new info i wanted to run by you guys, and without further ado…
Left off with the bird/turtle with the open mouth in post #23. If you get on its level and look through the mouth it looks directly at this:

Not the best pic I've ever taken, but it is a VERY large turtle head. To give you an idea, I'd say its easily 10-12' tall. In addition, on this head is this:

In the spot where the eye would be is the owl on its side. This is not carved in, but protruding. As well as this:

Looking at the pic of the whole head, if you look down and to the right of the owl eye this is in the area that is whited out from the sunlight. In the right light the "V" type marking jumps off the rock. Being on its side I am feeling like it is telling me that what I'm looking for is down below, but I could be completely off base with that.
On the other side of the head is this:

I feel like I have seen something like this before, maybe posted by Gollum. I can't find what i had written down about it, but I feel like it had something to do with distance.
I have also been trying to take Dsty's advice and have been trying to define the yard, shape, etc. I have been exploring the area due west of what I call the "heart stone" (from post #1) out to the 1 cordel mark to no avail. I plan to continue that line out to the 2 cordel mark, but any further than that and I'm going to be pushing the edge of the area I am able to search within. I have a few questions about that, I am going to pot them in his "Hand Dug Holes' thread though.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts, and thanks for taking a look!
