Extremely good advice, Rangler. I might add: not all man made signs are treasure signs.

I agree but at the end of the day she is there and we aren't. I would find anything that looks out of place, and take close ups of those items, then search the internet for clues. The way the rocks are formed or arranged it almost looks like a burial siteSpringfield said:rangler said:warning - reading mother natures graffiti can lead to missing the real signs...

Excellent observation, dtpost. Too much information is never harmful if the time is taken to sift through everything. No one should allow themselves to be "bridled" and "blindly" led down someone else's path.
yeah that's why you put a chain around it, and pull with a rope from a distanceDr. Syn said:As a total newbie, I have to agree with OD on looking all around that rock, without moving it, and without putting yourself in harms way. Honestly to me it looks like a what you call a death trap. The innocent looking rock that doesn't appear to be touching anything may in fact be a trip. Just looking at the way the rocks above it are stacked. They appear to me to be supported by nothing. Pulling that rock out may just collapse everything on top of it.
Looks like the perfect set up for someone not knowing what they are doing. "Oh look at that, wonder what's behind it?"
Well, guys we went back and looked at that rock and it is solidly in there----It looks like there is no way of pulling it out, so we just left it as is. I don't think we need to pull it out anyways, because we shined a spotlight back in the hole and there wasn't any visible 'stash'. Maybe this place was just a quicky hidey hole?dtpost said:yeah that's why you put a chain around it, and pull with a rope from a distanceDr. Syn said:As a total newbie, I have to agree with OD on looking all around that rock, without moving it, and without putting yourself in harms way.

Thanks Shortstack---It was quite a thrill to dig up that ring! If we come across a 'cache', then that will just be a bonus!Shortstack said:Congrats on the ring, Sandcreek!! Hopefully that will "prime" the pump to bring in lots more goodies. It's possible that you'll come across a farm cache that'll finance the bigger project. Or at least a sentinel's payday cache.
There looks to be a lot of green, gold and brown coloring around the rocks in the area, have you detected the stones to see if their are any tonesShortstack said:Sandy;
In this photo, that crack in the top rock lintel looks like it's the result of some of the stones settling and the top stones' weight causing the break. That light stone at the bottom looks like it has several letters on it. The stone face to the right has been pointed out to have letters and other stuff on it as well as the front stone on the left. I can't quite make out that figure in the center circle, and the circle to the upper right indicates a white triangle and a "C" or crescent.
I'm thinking that when the stone structure settled enough to break that inner lintel stone, that caused the front keystone to get locked in place. Just a theory.
Yes, and there aren't any tones.....The only thing we have found near this rock outcropping was the iron pointer.dtpost said:There looks to be a lot of green, gold and brown coloring around the rocks in the area, have you detected the stones to see if their are any tonesShortstack said:Sandy;
