Basic signs and symbols you have found

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Hi Kim,
This one makes me ask a couple questions...

Does the small stone rest against or touch the larger one??

What else is close to these as you take the picture??
Look behind you as you are standing in this position to take this picture.
What do you see? you may have passed something that is intended to send you in the opposite direction.
that may be why you are questioning these signs.

My first question is asked because,
these two stones seem to be making a small hoyo that if looked through will send you in the direction you are coming from.
This is the best info I can glean from this signage.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Thanks Thom :)

I will definitely try that. I had not considered it might be the empty space that was the clue.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Kim,
It may just be me but to the right of the hoyo looks like a diamond shaped rock with eyes looking at the hoyo.
okey dokey
 

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

OD,
Again I am seeing what you see. It seems that at my Omega rock (ancient) there are Spanish markers. I am thinking that the Spanish followed or came upon the ancient signs and since they are more simple and larger they recovered the cache. Then maybe relocated it and left Spanish markers to the new location. The ancient ones were the only ones around and so used simple, straight forward, and obvious signs. The Spanish may not have had the means to add the new cache to their mule train or rafts and so relocated them using more devious and obscure markers. They didn't trust that someone else would not be in the area. What do you think?

okey dokey
 

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Kim,
Unless the next sign is very close ( and it may be)
concidder looking through that sight hole and see what pops up looking the other way.
The trails weren't meant to be hard to follow,
they were meant to be confusing to an untrained eye.
Yours is training very well. don't doubt yourself.
If anything doubt me as I am not there.

You have discovered the secret!
You are thinking like a three hundred year old Spaniard !!
If you keep it up you will find it if it is still there.
 

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

desertMoons!! At the left end of the long top stone,, there looks to be a sign carved there!! Plus the end looks to be a combo,, Owl Face and Heart!! Just a guess,, Luck to you Lady!! td Hey Dog!!
 

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Well thank you!

Okey i am sure that rock is meaningful.. just exactly so is to be discovered and one of the delights of following trails. . :D


Tesora..good eyes! I did not mention any possible carvings or tinies of any sort because they usually seem so indefinite to me compared to the clear ones that have been posted. But i had noticed the one on the left. The combo though..wow you do have good eyes.


With a neg..i can see the tiny face pretty clear.

Over on the other side..that rock okey pointed out..well there may or may not be carving on it. But on the rock below it I see a possible circle where the horizontal cleft ends. I do not know if real or not. I run into a lot of those maybe maybe not type things. I've found a few carvings of various sorts that are a lot more definite though..but just a few.

IMG_3463cneg.jpg

Thom.. read over your thoughts and will look around when i get out that way again. Generally i thought this particular area was more ... trails in and out ..sort of on the edge of things...but who knows. There are so many ways to look at this and it does not help when the line between natural and artificial is so blurred..so very often. But that makes it fun...lol.

Dsty... there is a story behind your earlier post i am sure...lol It made me laugh! Hope it all turned out okay and you are calmed down.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Hi DM. Great pics. There's lots here that irk me somehow but I don't in what ways.

Red arrow could be a hoyo looking in either direction. Looks like a good height to kneel down and peer through. The way you facing it "seems" to be pointing up to those rocks on the bluff. In your close up pic the hoyo also looks like a mushroom (upside down)

Green circles interst me and/or caught my eye.

Blue circles are the obvious areas of interest.

Sorry, I've never marked up a photo so much before. I'm not sure what I'm seeing if anything. Hopefully the others can add more and you can too when you go back. Good luck !

Trout.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Desert Moons,
While I can't be 100% on this, since I only have a few pics
that you posted at an unknown time of day, ,....
You do have what appears to be an Omega Monument!


Good Luck Kim, I know you have 'doggedly' pursued
this hobby and have learned much, as is evidence by
the pics you post, I think you have two sites worth
working, the first one is the site with the Owl Hoyo
you posted earlier,,an Alpha..and this one an Omega
//explanation in pm//
I have no idea how far these two are away from each
other, but if they are in close proximity then you may
have a full set of Monuments. If not then you may want
to reverse engineer the trail and find the Alpha to
confirm the whole dang thing!!

Great going, good luck, look for the little xxxxxx now
he will tell you the final stage.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

With all the study lately on Omega markers,
Rather than go back each time and hunt for some of them in the beginning of the thread.
I grabbed a couple and drug them to this post.
There are many throughout the thread but these are ones that I have found and I am sure of.
These are on sights that DW and myself have explored together and have documented.

Looking at these you will find a variety of things to look for when determining an omega.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

hey guys. just found this thread, and have really enjoyed it.

saw that someone posted a pic of grandfather mtn, which is in western nc, back in dec 08 (on page 7 of this thread, about halfway down), and it was dismissed as a photoshop job. i didn't see that anyone stepped up to verify the photo, so i will. hope i'm not so late on this one as to be rude. don't mean to get the classroom off topic. dwayne

Argonauts and True Treasure Hunters
A quick tidbit on Alphas and Omegas, is that when photographed from
different sides, it will look like four completely different rocks!! Try it!

ps Hey Duane,
Thanks for posting that info, the truth is like a nugget, and we always
have time to stop and pick up a nugget! Come back ya hear?

Eagle and myself did manage to get out for a while last weekend,
it was a great time, and a nice long walk.
I did manage to get a picture of a very nice owl.
It is a combination sign that only lasts a few minutes.
Granted I was a minute or so late in getting the picture,
the shadow was moving away from the head.
But I caught enough that you can see it is an owl.
one of the best I have seen.

i dont know much about this Spanish signs and symbols stuff, i do have a question though,
is it possible to do a man in shadow, something like that owl, only not standing alone, like theres
many other rocks about, as in the side of a mountian.
i thought i was imaging it, till i went back the next day, and couldnt see it again, till the right time,
when the time came it popped right out again, ive never gotten back there since, has been 25 yrs
i think i was just lucky to be there at right /close time again
this was at rainbow mountian
thanks i think this stuff is amazing, and love reading about it

CW,
An infamous trick they had was to use existing stones to create a shadow that only shows up for a few minutes each day durring a short time of the year. These shadow signs are very hard to find and just as hard to capture on film. The owl I posted was gone by the time I got back in the truck and we pulled away.

Dwayne,
glad you stopped by if only to straighten out the snafu with that picture,
I currently have a pm out the the poster and we will get a copy of that picture out to this page with a correction ASAP.
I like to stay with as close to the facts as possible so if there is a correction I will let the mistake stand as such and go on from there.
We are only human, right? Never off topic to correct a mistake.

Thanks and welcome anytime.
Thom
 

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Rangler and Thom,

thanks for the replies. again, great thread you have going here. really makes me wanna get back out west and wander a bit. glad i could help out. dwayne
 

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Wow those are awesome pictures. Makes me wish we had things like that here in East Texas. I know the Spanish traveled up the Sabine river near me. Some older men have told me about trails they used to walk to school where they found "those little spanish silver coins" and there is rumored treasure in the famous Hendrick's lake, which is 20 min from my house. But its all woods here not much rock.... What should I look for if anything.


Thanks so much for all the info guys it's been really fun learning everything and trying to "see" the pictures before they are reveled. I see a LOT in the previous posts..
 

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Hey Cherryman,
I have enjoyed your posts everywhere else on T-Net.
Glad you decided to stop in here.

The trails are marked as you walk them by "natural things in UNNATURAL positions".
stacks of stones on a hill top, a white stone in a field of dark ones (or vice verse),
little things that just don't look right when everything else is perfect.

the best I can say is take pictures and study them.
then take more pictures and study ...
all the while going up and looking at everything as closely as you can... and take more pictures.
(what the heck.. you can always delete them)
when you have found what may be a sign ask me .
as long as I'm here I am always glad to answer any question, honestly.

The coins the old timers talk about having found while out walking,
if these were Spanish then you have a pretty good chance of picking some up your self with an MD.
they should look similar to this one I picked up while walking through a site.

Thom
