I have been in the outback for awhile, thanks for filling in with some GREAT information
regarding layouts of the final puZZle!
You stated some original info not found in books meant for the masses!
I quote...(worth repeating)
"I will add this, which was a little secret which took some time and effort for me to learn -
that these treasure symbols can sometimes be laid out to deliberately throw off any treasure hunters.
They will have markings that seem to indicate you should take so many steps, go to another marker, dig a certain depth etc when in reality it is the very placement of the markers which locates the treasure cache.
......... For example,
four sets of complex and mysterious markers are found, with various symbols that seem to lead elsewhere - yet simply by using those four sites as "'posts" which should mark off a cross, then locate the spot where the two lines of sight cross where there is NO marker of any kind, this is the spot where the treasure is buried.
A flat stone or piece of metal may be buried in this exact spot (the center of the cross) at a shallow depth, directly over the treasure, which the people who buried the treasure could find again by simply pushing a sharp stick or probe into the dirt.
To further protect the cache, the folks who buried it may well have also buried smaller, much less valuable "treasures" in places that would "fit" the false clues left on the marker stones, so that a treasure hunter following the false clues can then find the small treasure and quit looking.
If this sounds terribly devious, just consider the folks who were hiding it, working illegally and always with the danger that the authorities might find out and try to locate their hidden treasures.
These were educated people, as Rangler has mentioned - they were mining engineers, cartographers, even cosmographers and I would say they were very intelligent. Never underestimate the cunning of the folks who hid the treasures! The "cross" layout of marker clues is most common (just my own observation - no way I can prove it) but other layouts were also used, such as the Star of David or Solomon's Seal, though finding the site of the cache is then difficult.
I couldnt agree more! personal insights like this shared with others is what this forum is all about!
Thank you!
