rather than attempt to redirect discussion in this one?.....PBK

There you GO Lamar.. PBK has offered you your very OWN soapbox
now, jump on this "my friend" now you can have all your opinions and
all condensed on one 'friendly' page,. A place where you can voice your
opinion without all that nasty reality invading your space! A place where
other naysayers and "friends"can sit back , put up their feet, and disparage
the whole world, ah such bliss, such ego gratification, such heady speculation
that it will give other naysayers goose bumps just thinking about you and
your "friends" at your space.
From this loftly perch, you can preach ..er ah,,pontificate,,oops, ah dispense
your brand of wisdom unchained and unbridled, think of it Lamar riding bare
back on the Horse named Agenda, with the Breeze of Spin blowing in your hair,
the surge of power as you manipulate the masses, that treasure is bad, digging
is dirty, and gold is evil. Ah the Power, the Glory,. Forever..oops did I get
carried away?, sorry just following your lead..
Lamar, all of your "friends" urge you, no we implore you ...actually we BEG

Further confirmation that the Treasure Hunters Field Notebook is still available with this mail from Mike "Hawkeye"

The Treasure Hunter's Field Notebook is not out of print. I returned your payment on paypal.
This is because I have shipped 11 books overseas and they have not been received by the
purchasers. I do not know what is wrong, so I do not have any faith in overseas mail systems, including fedex and ups. Which I have no control of. So I am no longer sending books overseas. I'm sorry that this may be disappointing to you, but thank you very much
for your interest in the book and I'm sure that you would enjoy it, if you were to get it.

WE ARE STILL DIGGING​
 

Rick,
Welcome to the Tnet site, join us for this great adventure.
Thanks for the kind words my brother and thanks for your service too!

You know I DO have a hummingbird, and it IS a treasure sign, it is in
relation to the Queen of Sheba monument site... I will try to post it..
not only is the hummingbird fleeting, the pic of it in the hoyo is fleeting
as well, what I mean is as you walk passed the hoyo, it morphs or changes
as you change your angle of view, it changes to about 3-4 different images
and one of them IS a hummingbird!
My humming bird is looking to the right
is yours as well? Let me know as the direction that it is looking IS critical!
I will pm you the solution when you give me the direction of its gaze.
Happy 4th of July to all of America

Telling admission of committment.
 

Rick,
Sent you a pm regarding the Hummingbird. Members in good standing can pm for the solution
just put Hummingbird in the subject line.

Sounds like you have a well Monumented Omega site, perhaps with 3-4 or more caches!
However at this point, pictures would be the next step/ Caution dont include any landmarks
or mention of what state you are in, it is not needed, as most all signs are universal.
We want to help you go to the next step - not to know where your site is - or comprise your security.

Couple of quick notes, , the Duck looking north and the Hummingbird looking south , could be
your confirmation mark , as the Duck, means to look in reverse, aligning it with the H'bird.
Look closer at the shield near the Eagle, this might be a stylistic Heart shape!(?)

The Hoyo made by the Snake, just could be your ground Hoyo, but pics will tell the tale,

Greetings Argonauts and True Treasure Hunters,.

I am in the field! And my notes will now be from the site.
This is a continuation of the Queen of Sheba Monument
One of many Alpha monuments have lead me to this mountain
site, the site of a gold mine, and several suspected cache sites.

The Alpha monument sported a 6' high shadow of a Knights
Templar, with a sword raised over his head, in his right hand
and the left holding a shield by his side.

Later this same sign morphs into a bell shape.
At the Omega, a man and a womans face are carved on the
very large boulder. Underneath this a horses head.
The man and woman face are side by side, with a single
line for both of their cheeks. Symbolizing love, the symbol
of love is the heart. "The Horse has a Vault on his mind"
is the translation, the man and womans face, sit right on top
of the horses head.ie, on his mind! Got it?

Across the river, a cliff face shows the carving of a Skull in profile
looking to the right. In side the skull a number 7 among other-
things. The Shadow of the cliff makes a monstrous shadow of a croc
next to the croc, an bobcat carved out of a boulder as big as a VW/
Under the bobcart, a river otter, under the otter, a crab. The food chain!
A display of craftsmanship unparalleled - but hidden in plain site.

Near this spot, now far away I see the first indication of a new type of sign
In this area not many hoyo are possible because of bedrock conditions, next
to the river and stacked boulders would not last, the newest trick I learned is
the Hoya, a depression in the ground.
A very large owl head appeared when I first saw this Omega a few days ago
I have been to this spot and worked on it for the last 8 years. When I saw it
the sharp line of rock made the forehead of the Owl, but the head and body
where a depression was dug out, and made the cavity, a hoya.

There were many other signs mixed in around the Owl, numbers, a face, perhaps
a Dogs head. I will be taking some pics of it in the next coming week or so.

I have two Alphas at this site, another first for me, two Omegas, and the stack
of Critters that I am not sure what too make of..and last but not least a set of
Petroglyps, on a rock slab a few miles away, looking like it is directing towards
this site that I am working on. Very interesting indeed.

I will post more notes from the field as we go along/

Wow Rangler,

You are really onto something, wish I was there with you, but just hearing about it is plenty exciting.
I know you will keep us posted and I can hardly wait for your next note.

Volo vos prosperitas,

GG~
 

Rangler. I have seen the Hoyos that show blue sky usually up High. Would you please explain the significance of a Ground Hoyo. What does it mean when you have a Ground Hoyo About two feet off the Ground.
 

Victorio,
I sent you a pic of a ground hoyo that we had.
Where you have to literally put one side of your face on the ground to see through.
the one with the small heart marker inside.
I have seen ground hoyos that were anywhere from the ground up to 3 feet high.
The secret is that none look at the sky,
all look at a ground based item.
 

Indeed Victorio
What Old Dog has said, the only thing I can add
is that most ground hoyos identify the Omega
whereas the Sky Hoyo signifies the Alpha!

Take note of the new entry, Notes from the field.
Where a new sign is revealed, the HOYA..not a hole
but a depression or cavity, in the rock or ground.

A little extra level of understanding
rangler
 

Thank you both very much.
 

There has been a lot of conversation about the Roman numeral system and how it works.
There are some intricacies about the way these numbers were written that hasn't been discussed here.

Here is a summary from my notes that should straighten out a lot of misconceptions.
I bring this up because of an arguement that I was privy to concerning a lower case j at the end of what was,...
but "just couldn't be" a Roman number.

Note that the lower case j was used in place of the i right through the early 19th century.

Roman and "Arabic" Numerals
The use of Roman numerals has been mathematically obsolete for more than 1100 years. Nonetheless, the Roman symbols for numbers continue to be used in a variety of ways, most of them rather stereotyped: to mark the hours on clock faces, to number pages in the prefaces of books, to express copyright dates, and to count items in a series (such as the Super Bowls of U.S. professional football).

The form of Roman numeration used today was established during the Middle Ages in Western Europe. It is derived from the systems actually used in Roman times, but with certain improvements. The basic Roman numerals as used today are:

I = 1 V = 5 X = 10 L = 50 C = 100 D = 500 M = 1000




The symbols are repeated to form larger numbers, and when different symbols are combined, the larger unit precedes the smaller. Thus VIII represents 8, CLXXX is 180, and MMDCCXXV is 2725.

The Romans usually wrote IIII for 4 and XXXX for 40. The number 949 was DCCCCXXXXVIIII. To shorten the length of such numbers a "subtraction rule" was sometimes used in Roman times and was commonly used in medieval times. The "subtraction rule" allows the use of six compound symbols in which a smaller unit precedes the larger:

IV = 4 IX = 9 XL = 40 XC = 90 CD = 400 CM = 900




Using these symbols, 949 is written more compactly as CMXLIX. (Other "subtracted" symbols are not allowed. Thus 99 must be written XCIX, not IC.) The use of subtracted symbols was never mandatory, so IIII and IV can be used interchangeably for 4.

Actually, the symbols D (500) and M (1000) were originally written using a vertical stroke with surrounding arcs; these arcs can only be approximated on this page by using parentheses. D appeared as I ) and M as ( I ). This system allowed powers of ten larger than 1000 to be written by increasing the number of arcs: 10 000 was written (( I )) and 100 000 was written ((( I ))). The Romans had no word for 1 000 000 and rarely considered numbers of that size or larger. In late Roman and medieval times, after D and M were adopted as the symbols for 500 and 1000, a custom arose of writing a bar over a number to multiply that number by 1000. Thus 10 000 became X with a bar over it and 100 000 became C with a bar over it. These "overbarred" symbols are almost never seen today.

In Roman times, only the capital letters were used for number symbols. Later, after lower case letters came into use, Roman numbers were often written in lower case. Thus "vi" means 6 and "cxxii" means 122. Sometimes cases were even mixed, as in "Mcxl" for 1140. Furthermore, the lower case letter "j" was sometimes used in place of "i". A common custom was to write "j" for the last in a series of one's, as in "xiij" for 13.

Roman numerals continued in use in Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire, and they remained in general use for centuries after our modern number system became available. As we see, their use in certain applications continues even today.

The modern system of numeration is based on place value, with the same symbol, such as 4, taking on different meaning (4, 40, 400, etc.) depending on its location within the representation of the number. Place value notation was used long ago in Babylonian cuneiform numerals, but our modern decimal place value system was invented by Hindu mathematicians in India, probably by the sixth century and perhaps even earlier. The modern numerals 1, 2, 3, ..., are sometimes called "Arabic" numerals in the West because they were introduced to Europeans by Arab scholars. The key figure was the great Arab mathematician Mohammed ibn-Musa al-Khowarizmi, who taught at Baghdad sometime between 800 and 850. He wrote a book on the Hindu number system known today only in a later Latin translation as De numero indorum, "On the Hindu numbers." Subsequently he wrote a longer and very influential work, Al-jabr w'al muqabalah, known in Europe as Algebra, which included all the techniques of arithmetic still taught in schools today. The author's name, Latinized as "Algorismus," is the root of the English word "algorithm".
 

Rangler,
You said,"Take note of the new entry, Notes from the field.
Where a new sign is revealed, the HOYA..not a hole
but a depression or cavity, in the rock or ground."
The heart on top of this marker is dug out into the shape of a bowl.
This might be confirmation. This is an ancient monument.


okey dokey

Sorry for the long windedness of the post
But I would rather you had all the information available, than just a little piece.
I have run into that lower case j myself a couple times. LOL

Okey dokey,
You are a savy old dog your self.
Very quick on the draw.
LOL
