Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found
A short note to all
If you ever find a site on a hill side that is a definite dig.
Please be very careful to study every aspect of the hill above the dig ,
and understand that the part you dig out will destabilise the part above the hole.
When you start you will notice that once you get started the regular dirt layer will turn to a fine sandy layer.
Under the fine sand you will probably find a thin layer of loose gravel. Big RED flag!
STOP digging and study!
This is a standard set up that has been found many times and ignored.
It is put together in such a way that
when you have removed enough of the over burden to reach your cache or tunnel entrance,
The over burden remaining will have enough free space to slide. It is meant to slide...
Crushing anything and anyone in it's path.
Like I said before, regular foot traffic won't bother it,
But digging will.
No hole in the ground,
and No amount of treasure is worth any of your lives.
Please, stay safe out there.
Here is a link that gives some insight to some of the more elaborate death traps as well as some of the very simple ones.
We can thank Gollum for gathering all of this together.
