Does this tree carving mean anything?

Don't know much about trees but i would be taking a closer look at that rock bluff in the background. Specially toward the left there.

i agree with this idea...some interesting overhangs...consider about three feet of debris...and then those are homes...at least in the southwest people would have lived there.

And if you look to the stars, you'll find all the templates. Even so, a rock, tree carving, tortilla or cloud that resembles a monkey is nothing more than a curiosity. Interesting, yes. Treasure pointer? I'd look for something better myself.

I am so in agreement with you about the templates Springfield. I think stuff you find on the ground is in some cases all about that. Well of astronomical, or seasonal significance one way or another. Now to prove it...lol Got my compass, tape measure and other stuff all ready. Time will tell.

Kastsara - thank you for your post! Interesting. And I understood.
Mark what caught my eye back there was that strong horizontal line/ledge below top of bluff. Almost looks like a lintel. Then some possible vertical lines associated with it.

Dear group;
After looking at the tree trunk again, it STILL looks like a monkey wearing a helmet (or cap of some type) to me! Perhaps this is a previously unknown treasure marker, everyone!

Hi mark...been staring at your picture again. Never had much luck trying to recreate a tree marking. I've tried using a graphics program to squeeze a mark back together... assuming the mark spread out horizontally as the tree got thicker.

But the variable ground and growth of the bark made it inconclusive..tantalizingly so.

Still.. a tree with perhaps some sort of mark on it and a creek bank nearby..would make me want to examine that bank/bluff a little closer.

Who know, maybe you will find an old settlers house...I know in areas like kansas they dug holes to live in.
Is the tree on an old trail I wonder?

If you do find anything interesting on the bank be super careful and assume the worst.

Nice piece of property you have there. Bet it is lovely in the fall.

Markdenisr,

I believe the one symbol means saddle bags the "Z" or N could mean North look for other sign or the "Z" could be a signature I would dig right below it.
