Basic signs and symbols you have found

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Can anyone tell me if these, http://www.fotolog.com/mochilando/73558756 , are natural or man made? I think that I have read someplace that the Jesuit had a college in Durango where they trained in the Jesuit teachings.

Ed,
The large stone on the ground in front may be a turtle?
If so I would guess that the three smaller stones behind it are placed.
The tall things are natural but may be enhanced with signs,
if inspected this could be proven pretty easily.

Old Dog,

From what I have learned here in New Mexico you have a spot right in front of the face the eye is looking at it and the turtle is saying it is in this area to its left as you are looking at the picture. If you concentrate your search right there you will find it. I know of two other Hunters who have done this and have done well.

Thom, when you finally do get up there, I just wonder if that lintel over that hole/cave there, is a mesoamerican bunny shape. The shape of the lintel seems unusual from a distance. And if it turns out to be a snake elsewhere on that bluff or is that a gator....

Surely there is an "easy" mule trail up there somewhere (winks) .

OD,
Dah! I just noticed that the two circled heads are part of one huge turtle. Maybe I'm just cloud watching. I wonder how many were in the ancients party. Must be a bunch as much work that went into their s/s.

A few stones from site 1777. These refer to a concealed air vent disguised to look like a rabbit hole. Maintenance compliments of P. Rabbit resident. They charade.

Possibly a distance reference of the expected target grouping, of some sort of Spanish gun at an average range from that location if fired from a turret.

HIO Ole dog: the conical thingies in post # 1052 were probably used to cast crude assay buttons. In an assay, the metal would go to the bottom, the tip of the cone, from where it would be broken off, formed into a cube, then fire assayed.

Thanks old friend.
I can understand the manufacture and semantics of these little guys.
The purpose however was only speculated. Good call,
Thanks again.

So glad to see things starting to come together for you Kim.
Makes chasing this stuff more fun, even if the cache holes are empty, the education is priceless.

Keep hunting... it only takes one.

Hey ya'all,

My DSL is down and still out of work. Kinda wish I had the balls to dig up a mine on private property as the best finds I know of are next to other patented mines. The stones posted are regarding Guard post sites and cache sites within a spear's throw from them. Find the spear head, backtrack to the post with your metal detector.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Here's a couple of hoyos from aorund the southwest. Some times it pays to stay out rather late. You see things in a different light.

The first one turned out to have a lot of local information associated with it.



Hoyo1


Hoyo2




Thom.. I "see" more now. Not sure if that is a good thing. lol And I've not really even started looking at shadows yet. Well okay..maybe I peeked once or twice but what I saw, sailing ships and horse riders and more, well I would be cloud chasing the rest of my life. I'll post just one possible shadow..but likely it is nothing..



Twisted,
I hope things improve. Either would drive me nuts! And someday I want to see you be able to buy some new silverware.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Yowzers!! I love those first to pics DM. Sweet hoyos.

Don't know about the 3rd, but I see a dogs head looking left in the top part of the shadow.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

DM,
In Hoyo 1 you have an isosceles right triangle
on the left and on the right you have an outline
in the shape of a booted foot!
(Walk on and Look for a triangle
of half buried rocks)

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

canadian,TF and rangler thank you.

Got piggies on the mind and that is what the last one looked liked to me at the time. There is a smaller carving or 2 there on that rock but pretty hard to see.

I wonder if it is because they are worn..or maybe not real carvings.

Like this one. see the horse or mule head with one flopped ear? Pretty clear. However seeing the possible very early Spanish looking guy riding the horse and the possible sun burst compass like carving and the circle like carving,along with other smaller stuff is a lot harder. Maybe too hard hehehe.

I think the main purpose of this marker is go to the right. Follow the way the ear is pointing. I believe there is other information given of interest about that mule trail.

Re: Basic Spanish signs and symbols you have found

Great looking mule and rider Kim.
Check out your little guy on the ground as well.
