Basic signs and symbols you have found

[Clay Lindsey]

I never noticed the black triangle before... Thanks. I just used the ol' Army "center-of-mass" technique. The space for standing was limited, so the "sight picture" was perfect for my girlfriend who is 5'5". She confirmed the target for me.

Hey, Clay, you mentioned above ," All of the rocks behind it appear to be helping to prop the big rock upright. I was able to stick my arm in behind a little ways. I didn't see much."

I wonder if that rock was allowed to tilt over, would there be some hidden symbols underneath or perhaps a cache under it? I'm not suggesting destroying the sight. Is there any way the rock could be easily tilted over enough to check for hidden symbols? Maybe dig out from underneath a little bit and insert a camera to check for marks? Just a WAG.

Don Jose,
That is some SERIOUSLY rugged country you were flying over. How would those early miners operate in such country? Unless they were working solely in the deep canyons.

 

[Clay Lindsey]

All great information guys... I'm taking notes so I can check when I go back. Thank you.

Clay, bring limb trimmers next time, looks like some goodies on the rock behind hoyo. thanks for your post we all learn something every day. RH2.

I'll do what I can when I get back out there. The terrain is tremendously steep and sandy. This hillside is loaded with decomposed granite and has a rise:run of 3.5:1. The part of the tree visible in the hoyo is at about the 10'-12' level on the tree. Hiking this little trail has been challenging. The rocky outcrop seen in these photos extends between 300-400 ft. It took us four and a half hours to safely navigate and study that short distance. If it weren't for the stumps and the duck, I wouldn't have chosen to come back to this area because of the "not fun" level.

Clay, My son and I have a couple of sites that are real tough to get to, then it goes almost straight up. The signs are there and like you we post what we can and ask questions, lots of them. I am very grateful to the people on this site that take time to help all of us. RH2.

 

[Clay Lindsey]

I second that... I have met some really outstanding people here. I just hope to be able to do for them what they have done for me....

HI regarding the Sun on the actual stylized treasure map, I am including the upper part with the Sun. Remember the angle of the view is slightly different between the map and the actual view. the second demonstrates how easy it is to cut though colored over lays with color separation.

I am also including the basic picture split into the three primary colors in order to show what old dog has been talking about. Each shows a different aspect, yet the true sun marker remains the same, while eliminating the other possible points.. You can then reverse everything for an enhanced view.

As you see, the Sun is almost exactly where it is supposed to be.

Hadj, weekender, and short stack, you did good, close but ---so I will send you a coin from Tayopa when I open the deposit.

Hi my friends, very interesting posts. Keep them rolling.

First the Indian lives were not a considersation. If one died, just go grab another, free for the taking. As for access in the cliffs etc. they bored holes in the cliff wall, then inserted hardwood poles, bridged the poles with smaller poles or branches, then grasses and dirt if animals were to use it.

The remains of some still exist in the remote sierras. SCARY !

Hola Amigo,
This area I have circled looks pretty good in my estimation.
I have watched the pictures as they progressed through the thread.
It seems to be the one place I am always drawn back to.
I am probably quite wrong But it is my shot.

Glad your travels bring you home safe old friend,

Thom

That's one of those slap-the-forehead points. NOW it makes sense. And it shows an excellent "outside the box" thinking and thank you for explaining that. That is another BIG bit of information to file away in the old knowledge bank.

Don Jose have been following your pics, ive not seen the SUN sign
but i do see the heart, so the SUN sign, cant be to far away
in my second pic, what are these that i marked

Now that is some rough country. The one section looks like a funnel shape...maybe a volcanic vent I would sure want to check that out! This is the kind of area no one else but the most dedicated would explore/propsect! Get in there! Can you share what mountain range or state?

Good evening my Friends. Back from a 3 day trip. You have all shown excellent work, but unforutunately have not shown the sun's location, but came very close. See posted photo.

They formed it by simply scraping the top soil off of the bedrock some 200 ft in diameter with the ring being about 25 ft. Still effectively no new soil cover, but it is now covered by spreading plant growth,. This is why the color separation tech is so effective.

As for Curtis' question the ridge is the separation between Sonora and Chihuahua. The precise location by Lat & Long if wanted. The view point is from above Tayopa. Not exactly the same as on the map.

I have another one from southern Chihuahua that is cut on the cliff, maybe 30 ft in diameter surrounded by stars. They had to be suspended by rope some 100 ft to do it. If I can find it, I will post it. It is above a very large cave with a large treasure inside. Still there for many reasons including a Tarahuma family and their herd of goats living inside of it. They won't talk of treasures, they are afraid of distrubing them.
It can wait.

but came very close.

Don Jose, I'm reeeeeal glad it wasn't a handgranade!

I would suspect that one of the big problems you face in your adventures there are the superstitions many locals live with. The need to respect them must get a little bit exasperating sometimes, but........very important, too. Having the patience (and trustworthiness) of Job will be returned to you many fold, eventually.

I'd sure like to read you book when you get it done.

While hunting up a picture I ran across this picture.
The space is about twenty feet deep and this sits at the bottom.
I can only see part of the bottom
But it seems to be pretty protected as the mice haven't even tried for this one.
