Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Hello folks, In Mr Kenworthy's book that I've read he states that he found maps that led to treasure but some not even which contentment they were on, the most important is thing is to remember (that I don't know how many times in other post each time you find a carving there will be several meanings) 7= seventh day he rested, it could also stand for the 7th letter of the alphabet = G, one of the G.T that I followed was 720 ( outlaw ) feet, I've seen five 7s in top of a 10 inch triangle along the top line, at that time it meant 5 churches or it could mean 5 burials that belong to the Church, why the 3 corners, why a triangle, people in the area told me it was an Indian head, and the holes they carved in limestone was Viking ceremonial baths, it may be since they had a lip around the top for soap but my thoughts were that it was a lip to hold a lid on then covered with dirt. If someone sees an old man walking down the road with a bunch of paper sticking out of his pocket talking to himself, be nice to him it may be me. Oh yea since there was 2 dots for eyes and those are the 2 large baths and there was dots at the 3 corners of the triangle I just wonder if they would put burials at the corners to make it 3+2 = 5 mmmmmmm. Would they do that or 1/2 way between the 3 corner rocks one is a turkey track turned over when they built a oil well location. have a safe day dsty
Hey DSTY,
You have to remember one thing about Kenworthys Books. While he DID look for some Robber Caches, his interest was MOSTLY Spanish colonial. When you see signs/symbols/monuments/markers in his books they are not relating to Outlaws, Indians(unless specified), KGC, etc. Whatever you see in CKs Books is all Spanish, Church, and Mexican. Don't confuse him with other folks like Mary Carson, Mike Pickett, or Tom Penfield. In their books, they show Indian, and all other kinds of fru fra. CK spent his time and money researching SPANISH TREASURE.
Regarding the maps CK got. Remember how I said that everybody had to file a set of three (3) maps at one of the Palaces of Governors.
1. From a known location to the general area (could encompass hundreds of miles).
2. A little more detailed (could encompass about 25-30 miles).
3. Puts you on top of the spot.
If he got the final map, he would only have something that might cover a few hundred varas, with no starting point. If he got the middle map, there would be no starting point, and no detailed end point. If he got just the first map, it would take him from say Santa Fe to the Sierra Pinta Mountains. Where do you go from there? No idea. So.........while getting a treasure map seems great, without the set of all three, you might as well have nothing.
Another thing to keep in mind is that when CK says that a certain carving means something, it's not deductive reasoning on his part. It is because he has documented evidence that shows a certain marker meant a certain thing. That doesn't mean that a different person might not have gotten permission to use a similar marker for a somewhat different meaning. That's another reason why I say that monuments and markers are more of an individual thing than something copied from the Spanish Royal Encyclopedia Monumentia.
