Re: THE GENUINE STONE MAPS

Would such symbols have been meant for use on a map,or only for use in the field ?
With a map only to give a general location,and perhaps a start point,for example.
I'm not thinking "Stone Maps",here....but of other treasure maps.

Re: THE GENUINE STONE MAPS

I'm not surprised.
The guy ? who gave his verbal presentation at the rendezvous a few years back,at the gathering in front of your trailer was particularly entertaining,if not a bit tipsey.I've got some of it on video.Bowman may have topped it,but I missed his speech,unfortunately.

My own theories are different,not for the sake of being different,but because they are based on my search for answers and no one else's. I don't have all the answers.Not ...

Re: THE GENUINE STONE MAPS

Wayne, I assume you realize the symbol is not orientated correctly. Take care, Joe Yes. It's one of the reasons for the "BUSCA EL MAPA". As I've said before,the maps must be used in the field. They are not like normal "maps".They are IMO,unique. There are some challenges inheren...

Gentlemen: If I had been the one to aquire ,first or second hand,a set of map-like stones,which I believed could be genuine,I likely would begin a collection of everything I could lay my hands on which could help me to understand them.

Was Gene Davis confused about the relationship ?
Or T. Glover .
Or did Travis actually have a brother named Robert as well as the uncle ?
