The modern day treasure hunter has "got it made" when it comes to treasure hunting and treasure research. Thanks to the Internet, we can "scan the globe" for treasure stories, as well as scan the world for proof of treasure sites (through the millions of photos posted on-line). When searching for proof of treasure sites through these on-line photos, you MUST have a working knowledge of the monuments and signs used. Without this ability to spot "alpha" monuments (and others), or petroglyphs that "speak" of treasure, you are wasting your time.
The web site "Flikr" is an excellent scource for "photo/site researching". I have used it many times to research dozens of treasure sites (photos) in many, many states. Flikr is one of the greatest resources that a treasure researcher/hunter can have at his/her disposal. There are other web sites that allow people to post their photos and, they too, are just as valuble to the treasure hunter! Imagine, other people taking photos of treasure sites and signs (of course, they have no idea that they are taking a photo of treasure signs and monuments) and posting them on-line so that you, the treasure hunter, can spot them for what they are!! They invest the time and money by going to these sites and taking pictures so that you can kick back at home and reap the benefits!! It doesn't get any better than that!! Obviously, not every photo is a photo of a treasure sign or monument. But, with patience and knowledge, you can find more than enough treasure leads and treasure sites to keep you busy for the next thousand years.
Case in point, I somehow got onto the subject of Mona, Puerto Rico. Mona is an island, the third largest, in the archipelago of Puerto Rico. The history of this island goes way back, back before Columbus. On the other hand, in 1699 Captain Kidd hid out here. (you can research the history of Mona at Wikipedia and other places)
When I get into researching any island, I do it knowing that islands, no matter where they are located in the world, were a favorite place for pirates to bury their treasures. And if your research states things like "Captain Kidd was here" (or any other pirate) then you can bet your bottom dollar that there is a treasure room located on that island.
Again, how the island of Mona came to me, I just don't recall. However, the first thing i did was get on the computer and research it through Wikipedia. Then I went to Flikr and did a search of "Mona Puerto Rico". Several hundred photos of this island are posted, all I had to do was go through them and find the proof that there is, in fact, a treasure room on Mona. This proof didn't take long in coming!!
The first photo that totally confirmed the fact that there is a treasure room on Mona can be found at the following web page:

This photo shows a huge owl shaped rock laying on its side, on a ledge overlooking the ocean. This type of "alpha" monument is huge because it WAS MEANT to be seen by the pirates and other members of the "family" that were sailing in the area. This very same owl can be found on dry land, within the mountain ranges of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, California, and so on... (in fact, I found this very same owl monument sitting on a ledge, exactly like the one on Mona, in the foothills of The Caballos Mountains of New Mexico)
The owl monument in this photo is an "alpha monument" and it simply says that "There is an accumulation room on this island". How much treasure is still in this room is anyone's guess.
There are many more photos of monuments and petroglyphs found on Mona. One photo is of a tree that has has a slice down through the middle of it that goes clear through the tree, about a foot or two long. By looking through this slit you will be led to the next sign.
I was going to show them but I think you get the idea.
Mona isn't the only island that has a treasure room on it. You can research almost any island you want and find photos of these islands on Flikr. From the Phillipines and Guam, from the Azores to the Carribean, to the Aluetians, as well as almost any other island in the world, you can do a "photo research" on Flikr.
I wish to acknowledge and thank Chin Ramirez for the photo of the owl monument. Also thanks to cabo_rojo2003 for posting it.
Mona is, of course, a Natural Reserve, and treasure hunting there is not legal.
