NGA tree carvings

woody saw your post, try using soupstone or chock to out line the carvings. this will help to understand the carvings better. do you have this good site for NGA. check the links to. watch for old trees with branches bent in a 90% angles, the forest indians would set up a tree to be used has a trail marker. later the spanish would use the trails going and coming from mines or exploring. boomer

Got a question, no need to get specific, but is this marking anywhere near the Southern coast, say between Brunswick Ga. and Fernandina Fl.?

Location

Chris,

I wish I was near a coast sometimes However this particular tree is south of Dahlonega and Auraria in Lumpkin County Georgia (Gold Belt)

Beech tree

The tree is a beech tree, used frequently by Cherokee for marking everything from trails to treasures. Tree definitely dates to before 1838, but that does not necessarily mean it is a Cherokee marking ... there are a lot of others marked in this area that are definitely Cherokee but this one seems different.
