There are some things that you or anyone else will never be able to fully understand about why that 75% figure is not out of thin air. Remember that I've been digging this hole solo. I have thoroughly experienced every inch of material down to what is now over 52 ft. Yes, of course I hope and wish for there to be a cache of treasure below, but I'm also not a frenzied lunatic that has lost all reasoning ability. What I feel I have seen here, to a 75% certainty, is a very well and strategically thought out burial meant conceal something of great value. These people made an effort to arrange the layering in a way to break one down mentally and physically in an effort to strip one of hope/belief that anything is here. Let me try to explain.
The first defense put in place was "This is all natural. Nothing to see here." You can see the first 3 ft was just pure top soil, I hit a layer packed with stones at 4 ft but after that it was all clay until 8-9 ft down. After hitting clay most people would assume nothing had been placed here. All curiosity in the assumed markers found at the 4 ft level would have been eliminated.
At 9 ft the layering abruptly transitioned in to sand and gravel. In the very center of my hole my pick struck what at that time looked to be a narrow, somewhat rectangular stone that was firmly lodged in to place. Upon breaking it free I noticed the flat face and symmetry in the pointed end along with the fact that it had been "pointing" perfectly down. It all seemed very purposeful to the digger, a digger who had a strong preconceived belief in something being buried here before shovel struck dirt. My original results were so shocking and conclusive that I may as well had been holding a map. That's something you have to consider here. After washing off the face I realized that a portion of material would not wash off. Upon closer examination with a magnifying glass, I became fully convinced that those black markings are actually brush strokes. Take another look at those guys. That is some kind of calligraphy. I'm going to say 95% certainty. Remember that I have been washing these stones and all the natural material that happens to grow or become stuck to them. That black material that forms the lettering is some kind of nature-resilient black resin used as ink/paint. It is very different from anything else I have found on any of these stones. The "baby shoe" was found nearby at the same depth.
Three feet deeper I encounter the heart which was also perfect center of the hole. So the pointed stone found at 9 ft was actually pointing directly at the heart. The perfect diamond was nearby. Between 9 and 15 ft I unearthed many, many stones I suspected of being manipulated in some small way so as to provide evidence to the keen digger, and only the keen digger, that he was in fact on the correct course. At the end of that layer you can see from the notes that I unearthed a boot-like stone pointing down. It had a rectangular stone 3" x 6" (the size of a 6.2 kg gold bar) pressed up against it. Everything I've had to dig through past that 15' point leaves very little doubt in my mind that the boot meant something along the lines of "Work hard through the rough terrain. Don't give up. In the end, you will be rewarded with gold bars."
It would take ages to illustrate it all for you in an effective way so let me just say this. Everything beyond 15' very much seemed to have been designed to discourage, mislead, completely break down and crumble my determination to reach what is below. That mixture of gravel, stones and sand that started after "the boot and gold bar signs" was an absolute nightmare to penetrate using a mining pick. That is the time I decided to go out and buy a jackhammer. Well anyway you can see how long its taken. I started in 2017. You'd think even a person working solo could have gone deeper than 52' in that time frame.
