Just think of Charlie Chaplin when looking at a Jesuit artefact. Like Charlie they were masters of miming. I have found no evidence among the countless trees and rocks of writing.
Have reposted this turtleback so you don?t have to juggle. Print and blow up to see clues.
Always firstly look for the heart depicting ?treasure here? The curve of the heart can be anywhere. It can be even two rocks placed together.
In this example look for the hearts lobes. If the cache is buried to one side, that lobe will be larger and sometimes large enough to be a pointer.
In this case both sides (lobes) look even, so the cache would be somewhere to the right.
The overall shape of this petroglyph is vital.
Often the rock is mimicking the surrounding hillsides in this case it is pointing down, meaning to dig.
Even the curled front of the rock appears to be saying ?dig down?
There is a bit of a groove in the top front, which portrays a cracked heart, meaning beware, death trap here.
Some time ago I was thrilled to see on a cache site a start of a tunnel. Wasn?t much of one but still it was worth investigating. My offsider dug in about 3 feet and then there was a loud ?crack? and a large specially prepared rock weighing 100 -200 pounds slid down as though it was greased to at his feet from overhead.
To the left is another low tunnel and a huge pile of debris hiding another overhead death trap.
I will add the hand sized marker that warned of that trap to this post. I didn?t understand its message beforehand at the time. It even tells you where the caches still is.
However the area is historically sensitive.
Back to this turtleback from the USA.
There is rarely any accidental roughness when a Jesuit carves a rock such as this one.
There is a vee pointing downwards on this side of this rock. It is pointing down urging you to dig down to small mini companion rocks which are often carvings that are works of art and offering further clues.
There appears to be about 3 notches on the left of the V, indicating the quantity of caches.
The wavy bit at the base I don?t know 100%, however it is probably saying dig down then across then up again. Those measurements would be in my book if you purchased it.
To the right of the large Vee is a small vee pointing horizontally to the left.
I have just determined in the past few months that inverted arrows which are vees are pointers.
So if that tiny arrow type v is pointing to the right and the shape of the rock is pointing its snout downwards, if you purchase my book I will tell you where the most likely place it will be down below.
I even know how they will try to kill you as you dig downwards.
That palm sized heart shaped jesuit indicator is saying firstly "gold here" merely by being a heart. It is depicting a cliff face, hence the bump in the lower left hand side indicating that the gold is buried in a niche in the cliff wall and cemented over. (Of course I know where it is) THe heart on top of the left hand lobe is warning about the rock that nearly killed my assistant.
