Kidd's map said: Skeleton of LebMarked them for you.
I never heard any solution to the meaning of 'Leb' but it could be that it describes a stone marker and not a real skeleton.
In any case the west coast is really out of boundary when it comes to Kidd's treasure. But it could help to know what kind of markers have been used in other places. Symbols those days were sourced from all kind of secret societies.
Kidd was Scottish so Freemasonry comes into mind. Skeletons related symbolism is popular with them as it was with the Templar Knights. This is also where the 'Scull and Crossbones' flag originated. It does make sense to mark treasures with those symbols as one likes to attract the attention of like-minded people to discover them again.
Reading about it also reveals that the winged scull was a quite common symbol on graves in 17th century America. Maybe you just found a poor man's grave.
