Marks by nature or man?
« on: June 06, 2022, 10:13:01 AM »
Hi!

Short story:

Heard that the military found a treasure for some years ago a couple of miles away from here in a river.
A friend said that he saw some rocks that he believed was "signs" of treasure in my property.
I have looked around but can not really see any certain proof of that.

So I want to ask you who has some experience in the matter what you think of these pictures.

Location is in Mindanao at an old creek but only water there during heavy rain.

I have a Gmelina tree with "fake" marks, but can anyone anyway try to see if it means anything? There was also a carved heart before but gone due to ants.
Strange that someone would make that in the tree just for fun?!

There is also a couple of rocks nearby with marks on but i think its by nature.
What do you think?

I can post the pictures in bigger size if needed..

Thankful for your input!

Best regards

Had to refresh the page several times to get your pictures to load.  That happens if the server is choking or slow.

Remember the tree carvings would have to be 75 years old and the tree would have to be like 110 years old.  By now tree carvings are if real, un-readable.

Stone carvings are real.  Clear the perimeter around each stone, wash with clean water and a bristle brush, dry and take pictures again then post on the site.  Stone carvings are also eroded.

Thanks for fast answer Zobex!

I didnt want to waste anyones time if these marks are not man-made.
There are more marks and stones close by but probably eroded as you wrote.
There is also stones that looks like a fish and a big turtle head  in my eyes.

Could you read any of the marks so far?

Yes, I know about the tree. Gmelina tree can live about 40y only. Thats why im courios about the "new" carved marks.

The photo Inbtwn.jpg is a coordinate marker. This type of rock sign can be found usually buried about 1 to 2 feet below ground lying flat. This is an information that an accurate approach to spot a smaller cache is just nearby, it means you need to find a counter sign or support marker. Don't go far it's just few meters away. You need to do a simple sketch to mark the positions of found rock signs.
Failures made them perfect yet perfect are generous to make themselves masters of their knowledge!

Nice pictures. Definitely some of them look man-made.

The official 1945 rule is, no deposit below 230 feet.  Taking in account soil erosion or wash down deposit, if you go beyond 230 feet, you are in the wrong spot.  Vertical pit deposits are nearly always straight down, not down 100 feet then turn and lateral 100 feet kind of thing.

Yes, I know the Ayala Corp went down 230 feet on Bohol island and found a very good deposit.  Took them almost 2 years of covert digging.  Think about it, a 2 meter x 2 meter hole, all reinforced going down 230 feet.  I would prefer a hard bunker deposit with explosives.  At least once you hit a cement wall, one knows where they are at.  Boobie traps are not as scary as going down a 230 foot shaft.

Thank you TW!

As Im not a TH, I have no experience in finding this kind of treasure and can not see if a mark is man-made or natural.
Have been reading alot here on your forum but there is so much införmation to catch up with, and that will take years!!!!
To bad that Janners CSI is removed. Could have been a good reading for newbies like me.

ZOBEX

Thanks for information!

I am not going to dig if its more than 40 feet.
If I just can find out if there is anything or not in my property.

Could you please help me with the marks?
Wich ones you think is real marks and perhaps what it could mean.
Or perhaps non is real....

Your knowledge is 100% better than mine so all help is appreciated.

Still working on fom1113 tips...
