Remember confirmation and paradolia...
I notice a lot of great posts on this thread.....however.....as you read through some of them, the most important ones are,
confirmation, and paradolia. It is easy to become excited about a new find, but, (I am not pointing out anyone in particular, so please don't assault me), not every strangely shaped stone or pile of stones are clues to buried treasure. Take time to read the thread, even though it is long, it is worth it. Get hold of every book, dvd, or anything else that you can find, and take it all with a grain of salt. Treasure hunting books are there to make money for the author and the publisher. The spanish, jesuits, outlaws, etc., had to be able to find their way back to thier cache, and didn't make it so difficult that it was lost forever to them. Symbology was a huge part of thier clues, and it is quite abundant in certain areas.
I guess what I am saying is, do a lot of reflecting on what you see. Ponder it, study it, and then ponder it again. Does it meet the criteria of a true mark, carving, or monument?
I have a friend that has spent well over a half million dollars in search of one treasure, and with nothing to show for it. He has now lost his wife and family. One in 1000 ever find what they are looking for....
It is easy to get all worked up when hunting treasure, but a TON of money can be spent doing so, and there isn't always a treasure at the end of the rainbow. Keep searching, for there are treasures much more important than wealth to be found while you are searching for those gold and silver bars...
I will quit rambling for now.....
