Hello Rex: I will agree with you that what is required is an extensive review of hand written Spanish documents. I checked out only 22 of them. These were mainly 1850 era California Mexican land titles and maps. I too found 3 Spanish maps which had the exact same #1 as the 1847 carving, but upon clo...

STONE TABLETS - APPEARANCES Wear and erosion of the stones vary widely. The Priest & Horse stones show some abrasive wear, whereas the Map surfaces depicts considerable less wear. It is the Cross/DON stone that really stands out. The DON face shows considerable wear and extensive "pitting&q...

STONE TABLETS - 1847/LETTERS 1847 in the heart shaped depression is very distantive, infact it looks modern in appearance. To check this out I went on the net to obtain samples of HAND WRITTEN new world era Spanish/Mexican documents from the 1700/1800s. I found @ 22 examples , and here is the result...

WATERFALLS..... It's a great clue, except for reality. The buffs I've talked to, that were in the Superstitions during the rainy seasons, report that waterfalls can be found throughtout the area. All that is needed is a cliffside, canyon rim, or any other setup where there is a abrupt drop in the te...

Hello Jim: I have to disagree with you about what you said, that no one will solve the puzzle by using only the Tomlinson tablets, Google Earth, or plotting out its route on a topo map... The stone map is right in front of you. Logically the first thing you would try to do is to attempt to plot out ...

Hello Jim: Why so many stones? The stone tablets depict a map leading to somethng. In essance it is a straight forward treasure map. So why the additional Latin heart and stone crosses? The Latin heart might have been an inventory of what is at the end of that dotted line trail, but you don't need i...

Hello Jim: Concerning the Jesuits, they established themselves throughout Europe, and therefore spoke and understood many languages. The point I made was based on pure logic... They were sent to Spanish colonies in the new world, by Spain and accompanied (in many instances) Spanish expeditions. So i...

Hello djui5: Yes if someone finds something at the end of the dotted trail, this will answer the question once and for all. The thing that bothers me is, what is actually there? I'm no Spanish treasure symbol expert, so this maybe explained in those symbols. Otherwise it strikes me as very odd that ...

Hello Jim: I'm replying to your reply to djui5.... You forget that poeple have been searching for the LDM for some 100+ years, utilizing clues, many of which are suspect. So merely believing that something is true, doesn't make it true. In essance "gut feelings" is THE motivating reason be...

Hello Jim: djui5 put into words why I have some misgivings. As the Latin heart & stone crosses were discovered years after the stone tablets (and the crosses were some distance from that site), it brings up the possibility that these could have been a copy cat at work. The Latin heart symbols be...
