Hey Rebel
Those are very interesting thoughts, I'm sure based on close
observation, and a lot of research. I have thought that JJ had used
some Masonic "signs", and that seems to be fairly commonly believed.
The 2nd Degree KGC (LEADER - State Level), and 1st Degree KGC,
talented members carving "site of interest", I think is a very intriguing
aspect. Maybe you could explain that a little, in relation to the top of
the chain of command, of the KGC organization.
If other people carved at interested "sites", they would have been
that many more souls, to be in the know, of the possible locations.
That opens up the potential of more backtrackers, to a possible
cache location, to recover a deposit. It sounds like a different
style of marking a location, than the things that were used by
Frank and later treasure hunters, to find some things they
had buried, mapped, and left there in the Wichitas.
Like the things, those eyewitnesses saw Frank, and
his treasure recovery assistant, who were definitely
observed by the outside witnesses, hunting, and also
digging up, those substantial looking amounts of
loot back then. The clues used of those caches,
were apparently marked as a different sort of
project, than the things that Jesse had
supposedly secretly cached for the KGC...
I think Jesse was a man who liked a lot of control.
It doesn't make sense to me, that he would involve
any more people, than he had to. If he did use other
talented KGC members to carve signs, then probably
the carving and caching times, were carefully organized
by him, to suit him, for the highly secreted treasure spots.
Then Jesse could have easily done smaller things,
that didn't take an excessive amount of time, like
carving his initials, that would have been putting
his finishing touches, on the clues.
Then why, I wonder, would he make maps, that
would supposedly help one in the know, to figure
out a supposed buried treasure site. Unless he'd
thought that it might be out there for awhile, and
wanted the things to be able to be later recovered,
maybe in case if something happened to him.
But then, how did those maps he supposedly
made, get out to where they could be used,
by those outsiders who may not have been
formally initiated.
Unless, they were possessed by other gang
members, who were trusted, and would have
likely known a lot about it, and the location.
These thoughts, all make me to think,
that there is most likely less of a chance,
that there would have been anything left,
that JJ may have had a part in, or knew of...
