The Trouble With A Buried Treasure

Let's say someone used their imagination and saw a letter inside the circle in the picture. What letter would you think they imagined?

I don't disagree that they could see/imagine all sorts of things ! Including, yes : The very thing that you see.

Ok, and ...... what does this have to do with "treasure" ? (this is treasure-net after all )

If the answer is : "I see treasure clues", then ok: That qualifies as an answer to a question. In which case : Further answers to the question (which includes skeptical answers) are : Within the realm of orthodoxy.

ok ?

According to a legend there was a rocked marked by a 6 inch high letter. not a chiseled letter, but a natural formation that could be imagined to form a letter. And if you had to use your imagination what possible letter could you find inside the circle of the image? Humor me because I apparently humor you.

And how do we test this proof/evidence-of-treasure ? You have said it quite nicely yourself : The "Legend" is the test/proof of the "legend" right ?

Hopefully that was ok to point out. That you , yourself, said this. Even in the absence of a question mark at the end of your sentences.

And I'll be the first to admit that : Since when aren't "legends" deemed to be true ? Ie.: The : "default" premise ? Until proven otherwise/false ? That would make for an interesting thread. Is this an acceptable topic TH'r ? Ie.: who bears the burden of proof, eh?

You never answered my question
 

I'll answer your question...there isn't a letter there. You may believe you see a letter but only if you alter the traditionally accepted shape of the letter and perhaps even leave part of the letter off. So is it still a letter?

Personally, I see a Death's Head Moth. I'm sure there's an original VHS copy of Silence of the Lambs buried there.
 

"The Problem with a buried treasure" is, if a treasure legend says there's a rock with an "E" on it, natural or carved, one can go out anywhere in the world and in short order find a rock that has what looks like an "E" on it. One needs to let the facts, clues and evidence form the story and guide the search, not read a story and then try to find clues that fit the story.

It doesn't work like the "National Treasure" movie, in fact, i dont' know of any treasure ever found by "clue hopping" as laid out in most all legend tales. Every treasure i've ever read about being recovered was through blind luck (metal detecting in the woods, diving in the ocean or exploring caves etc), excavating known or suspected archeological sites (think pyramids and ruins), or searching historical records (such as sunken ship manifests and routes, old newspapers, gov't records etc).

So far, we've been shown a rusty common skeleton key and a natural rock, neither of which are sufficient evidence to guide us anywhere or indicate any treasure is close at hand.

Nobody will answer what they think I might see
 

Only you can answer what you see. I already said I don't see a letter.

That is because it is your imagination, not someone else's. It could be any letter between A to Z and any number between 0-9 It can be any shape you imagine.

All I see is natural erosion. Pareidolia will cause different people to see different shapes and pictures, in the end, it is still imagination and mother nature that formed what you see.

Actually, several members, including mods, have answered your question: They see a rock.

Using your imagination isn't "seeing" anything, it's using the mind to form an image, not sight.
 

The prominent feature is the little foot in the circle. It draws your eye.

I was really hoping someone could envision what I see given everything I've said. I was hoping someone could offer a guess to what possible letter would be the most likely, what I see.
 

I have a friendly question for you: You've indicated you're the "Legend Buster" and that you've solved legend(s) that no one else could.

So far though, all we've been shown for evidence is a rusty common skeleton key and a rock. Do you have any verifiable facts/evidence you can share that would be strongly indicative of treasure?

Edit: To answer you question, i can't make out any letter at all, even if i use my imagination. Sorry.

There's nothing common about the Barrel key I found. I've never seen a solid heavy duty tooth like that before, anywhere ever.

To answer your second question: apparently not.

If I said I think I see a letter in the natural formation and said, if you can guess what letter I think I see, 1i'll give you a $100, what would you guess.

I'm conducting an experiment. I'm trying to see if anyone can guess the letter I imagine

Where is the barrel key that you are referring to?
