I have never fpund a reason to look for anything at a monument. But have heard gold would be buried underneath such monuments. I try not to disturb the monuments, I use evry piece of equipment I have before I probe or dig. I would follow where the dog is pointing after checking the rear of the monument. Let me know what you find.BARKING DOG ROCK MONUMENT, 'the rocks begin to sing.' PART #3.View attachment 790199View attachment 790200 Imag0214 Speaking hypothetically: Looks like a 'hound-dog' face profile pointing left at the back filled 'fissure-cavity'. Could this be the dark guardian dog? --------------------- THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
Trailrider:
This photo has a few things to look closer at:
1--The flat area on top, circled in yellow. (top left)
2--Why would someone put black pitch on the two rock surfaces?? (bottom left, circled in yellow)
3--On the right side, the bottom yellow circle is around a turtle's head that has his mouth open.
4--The top yellow circle, right side, is around what looks every bit like a monkey's face.

Hey Shortstack, great call. Your intuitive reasoning through the evidence presented is correct! I was standing with my back to the east, when taking this photo and there is a 'sparkling sun reflector' within 50 feet of this monument, down pass it on the bank of the wash.Trailrider: There is one good possible reason for that black stuff being used to cover those 2 rock surfaces; if they were one of those "sparkling sun reflectors" like Kenworthy illustrated in his book. If your back was to the east when you took this photo, then that makes it even more probable they ARE sun sign eyecatchers. IF they are, then this monument contains some important info for "them" to take the time to construct a sun reflecting eye catcher. They REALLY wanted this monument to be seen. If that is a reflector (and I think it is), then someone who was working this trail, put that black tar-looking stuff on the reflecting faces to "snuff" them out. Could have been 100 years ago..........or LAST year.......

I have to get back deeper into this canyon for further study, to answer these questions. I only hiked through this canyon a couple of times and took pictures. A primary search. Also I have to locate them again, think I know the vicinity they were in. I'm curious about them also, what can be learned from them. thanks
