I’ve been trying to find that group of photos of the slender shaped crosses, without much luck.
However, it hasn’t been without something to study.
I stumbled across a photo of a “Solomon’s Cross”.
It caught my eye because it might be one of the carvings in the stone, that our “stone-man” is looking at.
It is in the cleft of the number 7.
I have tried to figure out what the carving was for some time and now it has a name!
The very thought, of any connection between our site and the Biblical Solomon, is a little unnerving.
Does anyone know anything about the Spanish using this symbol?

And why would it be here?

And while we are looking...
Is that a crescent moon, on the other side of the 7??
And if it is, what does it mean
Oh, I almost forgot about finding this.

You might research the history of the Solomon Cross image and maybe find out when it was used. A Catholic wouldn't use it but a Jew trying to pass himself off as a Catholic might use it as a symbol, in secret. I've had a theory that some of these sites might have been created by crypto Jews. Have you been able to date the necklace? It might help if you can figure out what type of beads are on the necklace and then see when they were manufactured. You should try to find the old trails in your area and see if they head toward the Mississippi River. A lot of Mexican silver was traded at Mississippi River towns, especially New Orleans.
