the turkey track and silver bar seem to posssibly point to Jonathen Swift. he gives many directions to buried caches that he had to leave behind - many of these involve the Kanawha River down to the Big Sandy River(Virginia Point) - where KY, OH, and WV meet - the west side of Huntington/Kenova. he made many trips into Kentucky via this route - as well as through the gaps south of here. I live in Ashland, Ky - right across the river from Huntington and am interested in the JJ symbols you have found. Seems that I too have a family tale that involves JJ Gang staying with my family - and leaving a few coins for the lodging in the barn, seems to be a few of these stories that are similar. recently found some carvings here close that supports the claims/stories and would be very interested to discuss any info you guys would care to share. PM me if you want to talk private..
