This tree is a tree that has a carving on the back of it. I have tried to get a good pic of it but I need a ladder to get a good one. I have marked one to help it out. This tree and the one in front of it may make a cross or an X. It is pointing left. I think this tree is the one the turtle is pointing me to. This tree is pointing me to the tree with the heart under it. The heart is pointing me up hill to the rocks laid out on the ground in a triangle.

You have the grafting of branches which are typical of KGC locations. It is amazing the things that they can do with trees. Follow the direction of the graft in your last pic...in an earlier pic you can see where the graft has rotted out. That happens quite often, the graft dies out after a while.. Often in my neck of the woods different specie of trees are grafted together such as a cedar and an oak...Steve

Justinmc; :icon_scratch: No offence, but yes, those are trees, and yes many would constitute a woods. And yes, there is gold in them thar hills. But seriously, I think you are barking at an imaginary squirrel in a wooded lot. Sorry, just my opinion. Unless you have a definite lead to a treasure I would stick to MDing around your church property. Old digger.
Yes you may be right. But some one took a lot of time to lay this stuff out. I have put a lot of pics up in hopes that some one would see some thing that would help, and yes you have to look out side of the box some times. I have a lots more pisc and can put thim up.
Thanks for your help.

Justin,
There is a lot more there than meets the eye.
You just have to calm down and find it.
 

Justinmc:
What is the denominational history of that church property? Was there a Masonic Temple on the property at any time?

Is that a map laid out on the ground ? How do I read it ? There is a cedar tree in the back ground with the top cut out of it one branch is made to look like a J . Did the KGC use hearts to mark a spot close to the end? I have 3hearts laid out in a triangle each heart is smaller than the last and the last heart is on top of a mound . Thanks for your help .

Justin,
Look close at the trimmed part of that tree. Was it cut with a saw or an axe?
A saw will indicate KGC influence, an axe cut is almost always one way to determine whether it started out as a Spanish thing or not.
a mix of Spanish and KGC is exciting and hard.

A hint is that the KGC used both sets of signs. The meanings of the Spanish signs won't change just because the KGC used them.
Just don't go putting KGC meanings on the Spanish stuff ... that's where a lot of guys get lost.

But be for I run and cri wolf I would like to know that this is the right spot. The last two pisc are of the top of the mound.Thanks for your help.

The chursc has bean there for 10 years . No Masonic Temple.
Thanks JMc
 

Justin,
Think about this one for a minute. The part I have circled is a characteristic mark left around here by the infamous porcupine.
They find a spot in the tree that has a lot of salty residue and eat the bark down to the wood leaving places that look blazed.

This may not be the case here, but it needs to be addressed especially if you have many like this.

It appears to me the majority of your trees are less than 100 years old, meaning they probably have little value in trying to identify any purpose to them. The really old trees are the ones that might present some opportunity. The old split tree could be an indication of which way to go. What you want to do is look in the direction, forward or backward, and go in that direction to see where it leads. In one direction or the other it should line up with something, probably low lying rocks since there seem to be few large rocks in your pictures. Some of the rocks in your pictures look like pointer rocks, and if you note they are small and low lying. Always follow the point. Use your compass to stay on track because when you are amongst trees you have a good opportunity to get off track. If you are in a developed area your directional rocks may have already been disturbed. Many people realize trees don't have a long life expectancy and possibly burn, that is why they combine rocks with trees. You may have some good leads or it may just your imagination. When you find rocks at the base of a tree, which you have some pictures of, you might want to take a metal detector around it. People did like to bury treasure at the base of trees. If you don't find a treasure, carefully dig around the base of those rocks and see if there are some covered stones that may be pointer rocks. I have found that to be true occasionally.

Another thing you might want to take into consideration is that your rock pointers are just guide post for a trail the pioneers or Indians may have used to make sure they are going from one point to another. Not all rocks lead to treasure, but may lead from one former village to another, camp to another, or to water. Lot of considerations.
