The ham salad is turning green?

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Is this one of those phychology tests?

 

[lowtones]

i researched for 2 years looking for this location. if i tell you what i think it is it would effect your opinion. it is not a ham sandwich turning green. i am looking for an intelligent guess thanks for the great guess i will take it under consideration

Give us more to work with that pic is terrible.

Yeah, we really do need something more to work with. You may completely understand what this is a picture of, but since we have nothing more than a fuzzy green blob to look at, I'll have to go with the ham sandwich for the meantime.

Surely working with this site for 2 years you have more detailed photos to show?

2 of the corners look too sharp for it to be a natural formation. Without anything for scale, ie trees, it makes it hard to venture a guess. You might actually want to make the pic so it isn't as close. Even though it will be a smaller image of your target, it might actually give us a better idea.

Re: Opinions ? satalite shot

This is the best i can do it is a satalite shot. it is not taken from my camara. i cant get it any better . I wish i could believe me

 

[Fast_Dave]

Does the original picture have some scale to it? (i.e. 1 inch =100 feet)

 

[ClonedSIM]

Well, since you've said it's a satellite image, I can sort of see it being a design, akin to the Nazca lines. This one looks like a beetle or some other insect.

I can't say with any certainty that it could be a building, though. The shape it too odd, and those "ribs" that run across the top don't look like anything I've ever seen. I suppose it could be the remains of an old hut, or something like that.

 

[Fast_Dave]

I'm guessing what we're looking at is a plowed field where some vegetation has grown up in the old furrows. While it'd be easy to say there's a foundation in the green blob, it could just as well be natural shadows. There's other spots where you could just as easily imagine a foundation to be. I'd be more curious about what seems to be a raised square just "southeast" of the blob. That looks a lot less natural. But without some kind of scale we could just as easily be looking at a 10 square mile area with fenced lots. It's really impossible to give a educated opinion without some scale.

 

[lowtones]

this line is 10 feet.
Is it the walls of an old log cabin?

 

[Fast_Dave]

I'd guess that depends on what you believe the cabin was used for. From the looks of it, your green blob would measure about 10x10, which I suppose would be OK for a single person if they enjoyed their own company. If you're looking for a fur trading post , fort or logging camp, I'd say that's not your target. Even a single family would be pretty crowded in a cabin that small.

Is it the walls of an old log cabin?

That's a possiblity, with the lines running left and right being the remains of roof supports for a thatched roof of some sort. Is this location in the US?

 

[ClonedSIM]

You haven't actually visited this location, correct? What did you find while researching that makes you think this is a manmade structure of some type?

 

[lowtones]

This is in the US and it is 19 feet wide did not check my typo my bad. sorry. This area has a history over a 100 years . ithink its an old log cabin. i wanted to see if anyone else could think it was to. i will be going there in late Nov. if it is what i have been reseaching for 2 years i will hit the jackpot. the only reson it took so long is i was waiting for a new satalite image. the older image was taken during the summer and they finnaly took a winter shot. i scanned over 4000 acres inch by inch and I have found several of these images. This was the best one out of them all about 16 of them. the last thing i will be doing is a helicopter ride over the area in October. In November the hunt will begin . I was told there are plenty of caches in this area some were founded by people in the early 1900,s. i have seen photographs from the great granchidren that there great grandfather have found and WOW

Best of Luck with the hunt lowtones. I for one, am looking forward to hearing all about your success - and seeing all your finds.

PS you might want to remove the other thread you started with the same fuzzy picture - it's a bit confusing

 

[DCMatt]

I think it's just a clump of trees. The sat photo looks like it was taken from a low angle in the late afternoon (long shadows). When you zoom on it, the pixelated image can sometimes give the impression of square corners.

If you're looking for walls of a long abandoned log cabin, good luck. I don't know where you're looking, but in my part of the country, an unattended log structure wouldn't have stayed standing more than a couple of decades at best.

Wow, are you sure you want to do a chopper ride? The cheapest price I could find on the net was $250 an hour, and if you do find something you still have to drive there anyway. It may be just as easy to pinpoint the location with GPS and do a ground search.

Exactly.  I don't know why you're making it so hard on yourself with satelite images rather than GoogleEarth or the like--and I don't understand the helicopter ride...  Maybe this is all just over my head...but I have been researching and successfully Finding sites for the past decade and a half--and I have a decent chance at recovering a cache at Any of the house sites I locate--and I find one new one a week!  Do you know Who lived here, and know for a fact that they buried a cache, or do you just know that there were caches found in the area?  Because the easiest way to find the old housesites is not the way you're going about things.  If you don't know who lived there, or whether or not the occupants buried a specific cache, then why would you spent two years trying to find it, rather than GPS and ground searching?  It just doesn't make sense.  THers and MDists alike have to allow their research to flower and take shape, but then we all get to a point where we figure out easier ways to do things--to make that research time itself more productive.  I don't get it, but I'd love to understand.
