Go Up Go Down

ill give it a try.  if thats an S i dont think it means south. i think it means superior or best way to reach goal.  the two arrows tells me to go north and warns me to look closer at the map it might not read as shows.  hence another reason not to go south as some might interpret the S.  the curved line between the arrows i first thought was water but since the two sets of = i think means a river then the curved line i would think means entrance from north incase you forgot the crossed arrows and S meant south.   the two eyes in the middle mean to look for another marker within 50 yards or so or stand in line with them and see what they are looking at for direction.  i need to see a little higher on tree where the line and dots are.  i can see around 12 dots above the line but wonder if the line ends or has an angle on left there.  anyway  if i had to guess it would be:  go 1200-1300 yards, you will cross a river and once you climb out of the river to higher ground then you go 200 - 300 yards to a gathering area or year round water.  was fun but im not the best map reader just like figuring them out.  chad

Oh, for heaven's sake. It's a cat's face made from an X. No great mystery. Probably Sylvester the cat.

You don't have a clue.  Why do you keep acting like an authority when you have no idea what you are talking about.  Then deleting access when someone who does opposes your inexperienced view?  Christian and I go way back.  How he got hooked up with you is beyond me.

Excuse me but to whom are you referring and who deleted your access? More than likely you forgot your own password.

Here's the deal, mate. Back in the 1950s there was a parlor game where people would draw a letter and try to make a cartoon from it. What you see on that tree is the result of that game. Nothing more. Something that everyone here needs to keep in mind is that treasure sign is never, and I mean NEVER made public like this on trees or on rocks. Public markings are most likely maps to water, gatherings or the location of entire villages but not treasure. Treasure sign is always put in safe places, not on trees. Get a grip.

I surely don't understand this carving symbolism---but I'll hazard a guess. The almost cat-like image means persons and the crossed legs of the "Arrows" seem to tell the viewer that the directions are actually oppositre each other. The dots under right arrow leg could stand for a cache where each dot is positioned. But this is just guessing and you know how guesses are--they aren't based on anything set in stone...  interesting carving, nonetheless. Good luck in deciphering the true meaning----which in reality may be just somebody bored wanting to carve on a tree??? But then again, it may be the clues that will lead you to some valuables. GOOD LUCK!  It kind of looks like Sylvestor the cat cartoon-ha!

was just curious who sigman was referring to.  yes 99% of the time a "treasure" map wont be on a tree.  legeneds in plain view usually show better trails for wagons and clean water, but if you know what your doing(i already stated i was still learning) mind you from an early 1900s spanish archive symbolism guide,that shows how maps and legends are unreadable to anyone else other than the king of spain and the workers who made them.   if you think someone just puts straight forward directions on anything to their treasure youre just ignorant or simple.  most of those markings are known to me  but there is more on that tree that isnt shown in the photo.  anyway if you dont have anything helpful or productive to say then dont.  you just lose any credibility you may have had. anyway

can u guess the age of the tree?Huh?? may be it's better if you chop off some portion of that tree to count the ring layers on its trunk to verify the existence and age of the tree.... co'z if it really a treasure signs, at least it must be 70 years old or older.... otherwise, some tripper just curb a meaningless curving in your tree trunk to bade his time.

Birch trees have a life span of 80-120 years on average.  Diameter as a judge of age, unknown.
The question regarding the trees age is a good one. Knowing a trees age, via diameter, may lend some credence as to whether a tale of treasure may have some meat to it. Especially if there are markings on the tree.
I tried Googling 'age and diameter of trees', with other variations for same, but was not prepared for the lot of gobbledegook and gibberish about variables, anomalies and incomprhensible equations regarding a trees life span or age, core density, where it lives, etc., et.al, ad infinitum. Gawd.

If anyone knows of a site that addresses this issue, please let us know.
