mammothman,
welcome to treasurenet and thanks for posting your pic
Old Dog was exactly correct ~! [as usual] and
Springfield was exactly in correct [as usual]
here is what Kenworthy in his book Spanish Trail Signs and Monuments [out of print] calls an Entry Marker
the large profile face shows only one Trail is available and since it is a human face, it is showing the way home~! Now on the right side of the photo those marks are all pointing to the right and the way more than likely to the Mine~! however they are too far away to make an accurate diagnoses from so far, if you have some close ups or can get them without too much effort...even a telephoto pic will work.
meanwhile there is also at the foot of the profile face in the center of the gateway marker is what Kenworthy calls a 'beer can' marker,- on page 49 -he says he calls it that because that is what it looks like and I agree...this trail marker is telling you "that you can go around this butte in either side [direction]
the trail is about the same for men and animals" [unless you can find the inverted V - which might point out the better trail after all.
Here is a perfect example that Springfleild has lost ALL credibility as a critic AND as a treasure hunter as he has proved only the last week or two - that is is not really all the skilled at either..so it begs the question...
what is he doing here, and why is he doing it..now several folks are starting to wonder, why are their pics of rock monuments nothing but bored sheep herders or lazy cowboys, stoned hippies, lost search and rescue guys, or that last one, a throwback surveyor who uses old school marks for his waypoints..hmmmmm?
oh last but not least is the catch all 'conglomerate'
My opinion and in exercising my free speech rights, first amendment style, is that he is working as a mouth piece for the Jesuits, and who ever took 'Father' Polzner' place...kinda a 'quid pro quo' deal.. he defends the Mother Church online..acting as a bulwark against the raising force of more and more treasure hunters getting closer to breaking the Spanish Code, as they themselves are working feverously to recover the goods still in the ground..make no mistake about it, I have proof from a treasure hunter that his mentor was working directly with the Church to recover the Church Artifacts, in fact this treasure hunters deal was that he could keep all the bullion and bars he found and all he had to do was to turn over the precious artifacts..so perhaps Steverino has cut the same deal with the added duty to stay online like a knight templar of old and protect the mother church by disinformation, disuading, discouraging, downplaying anything that even looks like a treasure or trail sign...trackers and by that I mean true trackers, those of earnest effort, honest intent, and keen sense of seeng thru the BS, I ask you to think about his look over his last 50 posts [as I am compiling his last 100 post!] and if you do not come to the same conclusion,
I will buy you , your favorite adult beverage!
You know time off, as my enemies - here like to put is, is something they have thrown in my face as though I should be ashamed..well I am not, that time off made this coalesce for me- fate has played a powerful part of my entire endeavor in this pursuit...and I have come to look at what are the meanings, the lessons that one can glean from having to 'pay the price' of pitfalls ,some accidental and like this one 'manmade'
soooooo whats the upshot....mr disinformation tried to 'cook' the books and now has egg on his face.
'whatca gonna do when your friends turn on you' ] sung to the tune of whatca gonna do when 'they' come for you...?
and yes steve I did enjoy my time off it gave me a fresh perspective of all the 'players' on this site.
As a service to the new members they can pm me and I have a 'scorecard' for them....
remember..just like in a baseball game, you cant enjoy the game unless you have a scorecard~! whats better mine is FREE~! [even though I paid a hefty price for it~!
I am rangler and I said that, I meant that, and am willing to stand behind that..~!
rangler
ps: WHAT SAY YOU TRUE TRACKERS~??
[sorry I don't need to hear from the cloud readers or pareidoliacs -on this subject especially~!]
P8 seek knowledge rather than silver, understanding rather than gold
