There is a turtle looking at the cross. I suspect the cross rock has multiple shapes of animals walking around it also. i.e. whale. I had fun thinking that main rock outcrop was a tired turtle and a man's hands around it's neck. lol After looking at hundreds of my pictures, I see turtles everywhere and every size.

Seems to have the most wear and tear. I suspect due to its location and it's surrounding dirt. Wouldn't doubt that there is shadow sings. You know. I've found shadow signs right after dawn.

Furthermore, the matthew bible verse from this monument is not visible due to the over cast, but you can pretty much guess what verses help you find the desires of your heart. Seek and you will find my friend...that is unless this bank has not been active in the last several hundred years.

Got a couple very good leads. Looks more promising than I first hoped. May check it out some more this weekend. TY User. I think you are very correct.

Casca, Thanks for the pictures. I also chase the old (ancients) trails. Lots of fun and head scratching. On your detector blanking out, Shortstack is right, OR, if you are up against a vertical rock face maybe something is behind it. Walk towards a large metal object like a car and notice what md does Thanks R.

Enjoyed all the pictures and knowledge shared, thanks. This turtle monument found along an old mule trail. There were also many other markers/monuments rather close to each other on this trail. What a blast exploring. GOD bless America! trailrider

Try following the markers by trying to outthink the trail markers for one day. Go the least obvious way or the opposite way see what you find. Instead of looking at small details, look at the big picture. If I tell you that turtles lead to treasure you will follow them out of the area you want to be in. As an example, I presume from your pictures, you are in a arroyo and you are on the slopes. There can be plenty of nice things to see all around, but the more I make you look right and left the easier it is for me to go all the way down. Think of a Christmas tree. If you start at the root and work your way up, there will be plenty of distraction and nice things to look at, but you will never make it to the Star on top of the tree if you keep branching off...


Just food for thought, your goal might very well be the first branch to the left. Good luck.

I think I have figured out what happened. The Detector lost Ground Balance.

Thanks.

Thanks for knowledge shared. Psalm 119:37 '' Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, and revive me in Your way '' Thanks trailrider

Ditto. I could not have said it better.

Trailrider, I spent many months when I first got started here on this forum. Read a lot of books. Even got a lil crazy on here myself. Had no clue what I was finding, just knew I had found something. Through all this I found the beauty of the trail. I try to imagine the people who walked the trails before me. I enjoy how the signs pop out and go away. If you keep looking, you will eventually get your own way of hunting. Write your own book. Dont be afraid to make mistakes, I know I have. Everyone searches in their own way, got to do what works for you. First thing I did was understood as much as I could baout the people who had lived here before me. Do two things if you do anything with your trails. First, make sure its man made and not natural. Second, find the beginning and end of the trail. You have to search the entire trail before you can start making sense of it. A marker or sign is just a rock till you find them all. Good Luck.

Here is a better picture of one small piece of the clues left. The turtle on the bottom and bear is looking two different directions.

Looks like a baby on his crib upright. Birth of a trial?

 

[Rawhide]

There was a elevated area just above that had a small flat area. I have not explored the rocks thoroughly yet. I have some new types of rock formations and I dont know what to do with them yet.

Good advice and good philosophy. Like OD said..the journey is the treasure..no matter the end results.

I would live on the trail if my bones could take the weather. just too cold right now, and too hot during summer. No middle ground in the weather here where I live. Its been almost a week after the flu and Im still weak. Makes me wonder if there really is a curse associated with treasure lol.

 

[LCNMgold]

Hey man im in lc lookin for a buddy to go find the momma lode, lol hit me up if you want a partner. Good luck... stevenavelar@gmail.com

 

[Hoofer]

You would do well to go with Casca. He does see a lot and has walked by cache sites.

 

[Rawhide]

Always looking for a partner. I can put you on the trail, and a few spots I have found.

 

[Rawhide]

This site has provided me with hours of entertainment. If you like sweat and stickers that is. I have made some really neat finds I hope to share. I may be able to tie some sites together also. Pictures to come.

The hidden trail.

Due to my laptop dying and loosing a lot of research. I made the trip the other day to get some more pictures. I decided to take the next step and get up and close, to include behind the monuments I was following. As I suspected, others have been here before and one nice fella left me a bunch of crosses. This still did not deter me from the trail. If I make a reference to Turtles or the Mary statues, they are already posted in this thread. Now to the hidden or real trail.

 

[Springfield]

Due to my laptop dying and loosing a lot of research....

You ought to try backing up your data now and then. You can buy a mega-gig flash drive at Wal-Mart for chump change.

 

[Shortstack]

Good suggestion, Springfield. I caught a 2Tbye Western Digital external harddrive on sale at Wal-Mart and use it to backup EVERYTHING in my 'puter. Including extra "system recovery" data. It's kept safely in a dresser drawer away from possible damage. When I want to add some more backed up stuff, I bring it out; hook it up, save the data, then put it away again. EASY PEEZY. LOL


Hey, Casca, do you think that previous guy was trying to tell you to go home?? Crosses are supposedly on the outbound / homeward trails.
