Welcome back Rigmover,

I have made a negative of the picture above,
It helps to eliminate the graphiti.

Also makes long gone symbols and signs pop out.

Rigmover,

This may be a good confirmation for this pointer in the heart shadow.
what is going on on the side here in the box?
are these iron concretions ?

Just wondering.

fascinating, this pic was taken bout 630 pm after work. at the right time of day that would be a heart plain as day i believe. yes, you are correct on the red marks, just iron rich deposits in the sandstone nothing noteworthy as far as we can tell. they are about twenty feet up a rock face. had to scale up the back side to get the pic

The sign of a true treasure hunter !
get up close and personal confirmation.

I am impressed,
I have seen that in very few over the years.
One guy who does it is my partner.
I maybe know of three others who are that determined.

Thanks,
we need more guys like you.

well, i dont know about all that, i kind of stumbled upon those by accident. i was climbing up there to get an unobstructed line of sight with the eye, and cross. up at the top i wound up with the turtle on my right and that face on my left. neither of wich can be discerned from any other vantage point. from the bottom they look like normal everyday rocks as much of the features are hidden from view.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

what if the line with a dot is instead something like this, how would that change things?

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

The line "up top" is an omega sign.
Upside down, but none the less an omega.

you are on the true trail
and the end is near.

To all,

I hope the wise acre remarks from a certain member telling all to dig under each and every marker ...
is heartily ignored!
The spoiling of the trails you are following is as criminal as cheating on your wife.

These markers (if legitamate) were placed where they are to mark a trail,
They do not mark caches very often.

Follow them through and if you feel that this info is in error...
Please use a two box to see for sure if there is anything in the area before you dig.

digging up signs and markers before checking ony serves to ruin your trail and spoil the experience for others.
It is irresponsible and unforgivable.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

I have a lot more faith in the folks who read these threads than some.
I don't think you as gullible as some would think.

If I didn't I would warrent each of the irresponsible comments with a reply.

Happy hunting

Hi Thom,
Here is an example of a before and after photos I have of a trail marker that someone destroyed

I had to go puke before I could respond . That is soooo wrong .

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Lost Horse,

Thanks for a great example of why we take pictures of Marks and signs.

Thank goodness you have a good record of that one before it was ruined.
It always makes me a bit angry to see some of the stupidity folks accomplish when they are uneducated.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

I have been asked many times if the Spanish were the ones who moved many of the huge slabs of stone we see stacked to make these markers.
I find I must say yes. I think they did.
watch this link and decide for yourself.

My partner and I have found all of the things needed scattered in several places to acomplish the same thing.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Sometimes the sign is as simple as a large stone marking something special,
like this year round source of water.
As you can see the two boulders that mark it are out of the water flow from the runoff.

I have to whole heartily agree! The one who I have taught to read these signs
all think about digging under these markers and I tell them this..

" imagine that you are driving or walking along and you see a sign that says "LasVegas 110 miles"
well the same logic would make you start digging under the sign to find the city......."
see what I am saying??
To destroy these markers is criminal offense, on Federal land, as it is a historical , cultural artifact
you can't pick them up let alone smash them to smithereens! I have had it happen to me a few
summers ago..and I put out the word that what ever that person did to another monument, I would
do to them!! Nothing more was touched.
The piece of work who went thru all these posts with his wise acre comments , needs to be banned
from this site forever, how and why he would be on this site is a mystery. At the very least all his
comments need to be deleted and the natural order of our posts restored. Sheesh!
I rest my case

sweet vidieo there, thats even simpler than the methods employed by the Egyptians 5000 yrs ago to construct the pyramids at Giza. Amazing what one can build with a little ingenuity and determination

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Thanks Rangler,

Sorry, I get a bit wound up when everything I have been trying to do ...
is negated by an imbecile.

But, when the day is over He does have the right to say what ever he wants.

On the trails I hunt...
that is another story.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Sometimes the trail became a bit obscure even to the Spanish.
I think this marker tells you to use the trail marked out on the other side of the canyon.
I have followed both and the one over on the other side is much safer for horses or mules.

The second photo shows the line up.
