Have you done your research, at least on this thread and started a reference notebook? The person who started this thread, Old Dog, is one of the most knowledgeable folks on this forum. If you will go back to the beginning of the thread and read forward, taking notes, a lot of your questions will be answered. Also, read rangler's thread. He posted some stuff you'll need, but not as much as Old Dog made available.
As for the triangle you see; triangles were used to record the distance values and, sometimes the direction, too. There are many posts concerning "reading" triangles. I do not keep too many notes on the find tuned details since I will never be able to travel around to put the info to use. The main contribution I might be able to make is to see what shows up in photos that different members post. LOL The hardest thing to learn was / is to take into account how pixalations can really throw a person "off" when studying photos here. That is a REAL problem when you think there might be some shadowy figure of some kind on the surface of a rock or boulder. I've tripped up on some more than once, but, hey,that's how you learn. Old Dog and Tertiaryjim have been really patient in teaching TRYING to teach me how to spot the important stuff without getting side tracked. After all, the Spanish supposedly used false trails and "sucker" stuff..........not to mention the deathtrap things. Yep, you really should start your own diary of information about these trail leads and codes. There are LOTS of things that people in the field have found that were not covered in Kenworthy's books or any of the other ones and a few of those folks have shared their findings in this section of TNet. Old Dog, dsty, Oddrock, Desertmoons, TertiaryJim, Springfield, and rangler are just a few of the folks who are putting their boots on the ground "out there" and have shared a lot of the info with the rest of us. Just be a little bit leary of anyone who ever claims to know it all.
For the most part, signs and symbols you find along a TRUE treasure trail will be larger stuff with the smaller codes and symbols coming in as you get toward the end site. The Spanish modified a lot of Ancient carvings and symbols for their own use; then, the KGC did the same thing to both of the others' signs. The Spanish and the KGC seemed to have hidden some of their signs within Indian Story rocks in some cases.
There's a lot of info for you to learn, but that part of the "journey" is where the real fun would be. Working on the "puzzle" is where the real satisfaction is found. Any FINDING that's done is almost anti-climatic. Don't get me wrong......FINDING would be GREAT (LOL), but almost a let down.

What is this sign? I have never seen this before and cannot seem to find it. It looks like an upside down crown with a bulb on top and a line going thru it. It is at the top center of the page
I be impressed.
