Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

Found these yesterday in an area close to RRG. The tracks point to a gap between two ridge lines about a quarter of a mile away. The /\/\ symbol appears to have a pointer indicating the same direction.

The "M" symbol is about the TWO RIDGE LINES, with the VALLEY between them.

Re: Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

Very interesting photo's

I have found a few myself around the R.R.G. Remember with most cases of "turkey track" always follow the middle toe, either be pointing backwards to something, or follow to next clue.... Also a lot of hunters would make these marks to find the direction to or from where they hunt back in them days.

Great Find, and Pics..... I have also found a /\ /\/\ this tells you what area to look for .........
Thanks for sharing

Re: Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

rhoodphoto, in the "pic", of "post #3"... you have TWO "drill holes";
"connect" the two "dots", and put a "sighting" pole in the one nearest "the valley"/gorge, and you MAY see the next "point of interest". The "pole" can also be used to determine "distance", as a "builder" can determine "height" by "measuring" a 6' tall guy, next to a "mountain".

Re: Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

Thanks Rebel..........I appreciate the info and help. I'll keep you updated. This is a very interesting area in that there was a lot of Indian involvement here.

Re: Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

Here is another photo of the area. Indian grain grinding "hominy holes".

Re: Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

WOW
another great find, looks like 4 hominy holes in one location.......I have only stumbled upon 2 holes at the most in one spot, mainly in rocksheltors.... are these close to any over hangs or rockhouses

Re: Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

These are on a ridge line and close to numerous rock shelters.

Re: Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

Got a set of 4 in a place close to me on the edge of a deep hollow . They were shown to me 20 yrs ago and I no longer have access to the site to get pics .

Re: Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

With that many holes consentrated in one area, it tells me that a settlement was probally there....(Adena) "late woodland" or "early fort ancient" era... Could have been winter camp or village area...The Indians always moved with the seasons...
I'll try and dig up the photo's i have of hominy holes i found in a rockhouse, i may have to scan them, cause i was useing 35mm at the time. again great pics

Re: Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

I would say based on everything I saw in this area that it was definitely a village area. You will be amazed when you see it. I also found what could be a lighthouse in the area and if I recall correctly such a lighthouse was mentioned in Swift's journals. Ki, you were "right on" with your maps you sent me - thanks. I'll email you a photo tonight if I have time.

Re: Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

I'm glad those maps could help you... That's a great area your in as well
That's amazing how your turkey tracks are so close to where Ive been searching these last few months, only 2-3 miles away...
Now comes the figuring out to where or what they lead too... If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask

Re: Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

Ki,

I will PM you a photo of the lighthouse. Tell me if you agree.

Re: Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

Ki,

Did you find the JS carving in the area North of my search site? That is an amazing photo and discovery. Congratulations!

Re: Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

Here is a photo of the lighthouse.

Re: Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

That is a lighthouse, or also called window, or nettle eye....

The "JS" carving is north of your site.....

Thank you, to tell you the truth my heart almost stopped when i found the "JS" carving.... The great thing about this carving is that it's in the middle of nowhere, its about 3 miles from any home or farm, no trails, only the one in my memory. And these are the only marks on this rock....which makes these authentic. The only carving found like this so far, as i know of at the moment....
Also the mine i posted pictures of is very close by.....

Re: Turkey Tracks & Symbols (pics)

Ki, I've been studying the map you sent and it appears to fit the perimeter of my site. I have not searched inside the perimeter yet but need to get that done.
