Any cross experts here?

[whisperer]

I have found stone columns very far out in the wilderness. Each side of each column have various crosses carved into them as well as other images. Every cross is carved differently. I’m trying to determine if different crosses are attributable to different sects, years, countries, etc.. I have done a large amount of my own research, but assume that this research has already been done by someone, and either there is a book, web site or at least someone that knows which crosses belong to who?? Any info is welcome on this search.

Oh that’s interesting. I would love to find more info on that. Do you remember where that was?

Found it!

82 pounds of Spanish gold bars found by Ron Quinn in the Tumacacori Mountains. He wrote a book about it called "Searching for Arizona's Buried Treasures".

Found it and read it. Wow. Super interesting and not stuff I had seen before. The crosses are different but the technique of hiding a cache might be the same. Very intriguing!!

There is a lot of info about them on the web, but.....nothing definitive about who made them or when they were made.
the best guess on the date, based upon similar symbols is around 1800’s

I am of the opinion that they are older than that. There are several reasons that I think that because of how some of the symbols are. There are researchers that have posted info on the net saying they are KT but I don’t agree. I have a location on another one and have photographed both in high res but have heard a rumor that there is another one in situ. Would like to hear anything else that someone wishes to share either public or pm..
