A GUIDE TO VAULT TREASURE HUNTING (Condensed)

[Crosse De Sign]

Can we say that the closer we get to the treasure and dig site, the smaller the owls get? Or is it a little harder to recognize them? Or will it become M.m?

Very large still close & sometimes secreted in shadow for me, because the location in their day, was along a ridgeline above a fairly deep wide river canyon, with lots of boulders from ancient bedrock all along the
steep concentrated ridge areas.

Now that ridgeline (see pics) or creek ridge they traveled & used,, is just above the
canyons, or the full stage flood depth, in the shoreline of a large manmade lake.
It was part of one of their major secret trails through the thick wooded territory..

Are these owls similar to the ones you have?

Are these owls similar to the ones you have?

The first one is a nice marker, cool smaller owl there.
I've seen similar marks as the 2nd one there also.
Maybe carved a little more, makes me think owl
forehead or eyes, carved right across the cove
there not far from the boat ramp. I saw it first,
when I walked down there to sit & relax on
the flat bedrock & know there's multiple
Spanish caches around. I first spotted
that in 2016, not long after sandy1
started his first thread, before he
redid it into this guide thread.

The first one could be but even if it is it wasn't carved by the Spanish which means it has a different meaning than what we would find here in the United States with a carved owl.

The first one could be but it is very iffy, even if it is it wasn't carved by the Spanish.

What's the smaller one standing left up next to the taller rock, circled in blue, in the 1st pic?

That was the one I looked at first then realized the bigger red circle actually looked like an owl

All kinds of markers,
yes smaller up on more level ground. Some very nice seasonal, time of day shadows complimenting or further
revealing the carved, manipulated rock. Very nice, big/small Turtles, large/small Owls, Ducks, Snakes, Hearts,
Skulls, Diamonds, 3's, Eyes, Human profiles, Mine or Cave sign, Hoyos, Big Cat, Spanish Boot, Tanit, Aztec Mask...

Dogs, Owls, & other human profile Carvings in Relief, amongst Shaft, Bell, Fox, Hummingbird,
Death trap signs like Lightening Bolt, Arrow, Bear, Rabbits, Falcon, # 7 & 8, & Pentagon markers..
Have also seen Dolphin eating, Snake eating Heart, Bear with salmon in mouth, Pig, Whale, Dogs,
Turtles mating, & Gargoyle. Mostly smaller right at the closest, but definitely some of the large,
even mixed together nearby. [Learned the animal's meanings, as sandy1 thoroughly illustrates &
discusses, in his Treasure Vault Guide]. Before then, I was not sure sometimes, what/why I was seeing.

Now that ridgeline or creek ridge they traveled & used,, is just above the canyons, or the full stage flood depth,

Funny, wasn't responding to you. You don't have to be an arse,
you choose to be. Just because I showed a pic of a picnic table
I didn't edit, you try to do what you do, criticize unnecessarily.
Why don't you tend to your own business? The Budweiser &
Samuel Adams bottles, are simply signs of living free
in the US. Enjoying the lake, & having a great day!
You should wash down your toxic aptitude.

 

[Crosse De Sign]

Almost forgot to mention finding a carved cross & moons.
However, I don't think any Spanish carved the cross...
Or moons... Or boots... Or the Skull & Bones...

I have posted pics most all of these carvings,
& a lot more.

Was it a Desert Moon? A long lost one?

In our country, most people consider the owl to be sinister. This is derived from the superstitions they made for them. The purpose of these superstitions is to keep people away from the place where the owl is. In my country, there is a proverb, "If a person looks at a staring point, they say to him, (Why are you looking like an owl?")

Too bad about them maybe being misled in purported superstitions.
I think sandy1 has a pretty interesting idea, about the owl seeing what
can't be seen by our eyes. Whether in the dark, above or underground.
Some people may consider owl's wisdom, or maybe be aware & wise.

 

[sandy1]

Since there are so many theories on what the markers mean, I thought I would ask what some of you folks think the meaning of lets say the Duck is? Do you think its meaning is religious or possibly Nature and trait oriented, so what do you guys think (why use a duck and what is its meaning for marking treasure locations?)

What do they say if there is a owl at the end point?

Nice duck marker. I think definitely Natural behavior by observation. Don't know what would be a religious trait,
if any? They may be close to a treasure, like watching over their eggs in Nature. Getting loud when anything gets close.
I've seen them lay their eggs, hidden in tall green grass on banks above a lake, & can make a heck of a loud racket,
& are even more noisy, when a couple or more get going.

Edit Note: They tilt their heads up & back like in your pic,
when they eat, & swallow water they sipped up.

Another possibility with the Duck, Owl, Turtle, Hummingbird and Eagle is that they could indicate measurements, for instance one of them could mean 7 feet or multiples of 7 such as 7x5 is 35 feet or 7x7 is 49 feet which I have found multiple times in the field.

In what geographical direction? Or what side of the indicator?

 

[sandy1]

Some of the animals are looking the way to go some are looking the opposite of the way to go with a pointer pointing the correct way to go while others are 90 degrees so you can see the side profile when your standing at the crisscross spot. The carved animals are NOT always looking in the direction to go to the treasure.
