de Soto carving in Arkansas

Take a stick and slap it on the top of the ledge if you can't see it, might be where ole rattler is taking a nap. It happened to me with a black snake, not fun
 

WOW, I just noticed that I am no longer a tenderfoot...I'm Green!!! Thank you! I am learning as fast as I can:hello2:
 

It looks like the Jesuit work. DE Soto started in the east from what I was taught in the pan handle of fla.

Oklahoma Treasure Seeker - I think you'd get more views if you would post your own thread.
 

What an amazing site. I know where all my spare time would be spent if I were in your shoes.
 

I noticed an odd circle on a rock along the edge of a forestry road a couple miles away from the bird location. Something compelled me to take pics of it. After I transferred the pics to my computer, I noticed more about it and had to go take more pics. Am I seeing real things or is my mind playing with me??? Mr Ear 1.JPG

Fox ,it's not your mind playing tricks. If you had move a little more to the left. You would have seen the whole picture. Welcome to our world. During different times of the day. That stone would change what you see. It takes me days to photo one stone. Light angles are very important. Different time of year again will be different pictures.

Yep, they did that too. Trees are another part of the puzzle

I will add more tomorrow. Signal is awful tonight with t-storms rolling in. I've attempted to add two more pics multiple times and it times out.
 

Here's a thought that has been keeping me awake lately regarding the Treasure Mountain legend...If the explorer went to Colorado with over 400 helpers, is it possible that some floated down the Arkansas river to Arkansas to make the vaults and markers and then some brought the treasures to the vaults???
 

That's possible. They made vaults all across the country.

Here's a link to Randy Bradford's thread about Treasure Mountain.

If the legend is even true, who knows whether or not the Frenchmen set up cache sites on a return route. My guess would be no. That being said, there could be hundreds of cache sites along the Arkansas River. There are many things, besides gold and silver that could be hidden at such places. Furs, clothing, trade goods, weapons, food, darn near anything. I hope you love to read, because if you want to find out what type of trade goods moved along the trails and streams in your area, you're gonna have to do a lot of reading. You seem to have found an interesting place to start your research.
 

i am new to this sight and am having trouble navigating it. i asked rebel kgc to look at some pics, but i couldn't upload them so i gave him my email add. but i guess he thought it was a scam. i am having a difficult time deciphering the meaning of what i found. it is out in the middle of bfe and a difficult place to get to, it can only be traversed by foot.

I am still learning the site also. The phone app is harder lol Don't give up, there's plenty to read while you wait for him to respond.

I've been tied to family matters and still haven't had a chance to complete the viewing of the pics I have taken and share some of my maker finds. Thank you for the link, I will try to get to reading it and sharing soon.
