Knights of the Golden Circle Treasure Maps of the KGC and the on-sight signs include many objects other than animals. If it is an object, consider what the object does. What is the item used for? Is it the item a tool? What does that tool do? This could give you a clue for what they are saying but you must consider the context. Always take a series of photographs of each item and place in the picture an indicator for direction and an indicator for size. That way you can sit next to the fire on a cold winter night and examine the object and understand the direction it points and the size it is. Many times there is much information in the measurements of each part of the object. When I have someone send me a photograph of an item, I first consider if it is horizontal or vertical in nature. If it is horizontal I have them take a 12” ruler and lay it so the ‘0’ end at magnetic north and the ‘12’ at the southern position. This gives me the directional and a way of measuring the different parts of the item off of the length of the ruler. If the item is vertical in nature I have a hole in the ‘0’ end of the ruler, tie a string to the ruler and suspend the ruler so the increments are visible in the photo.

Now examine the item (non-animal) for its use. It if were say a knife, look to see where it is pointing but watch carefully for any reversal signs. The hilt might even divide the treasure and the point show the direction. The lengths may indicate how far to the two treasures. You see, a knife is designed to cut or divide. And although that may not be the use of your knife, it could be. You must read it all within the context.

Spanish signs were usually incorporated into a KGC site. Many times the signs were merged to confuse a Spanish sign interpreter. Dr. John Melancon has had extensive experience and success reading these signs to facilitate a successful “find”.

Caves for spelunking are numerous in most states. Virgin caves are a rare find. The mission was to get an underground image of a newly discovered cave and possibly find its outlet leading to a hopeful undiscovered cave.

As the commercial flight approached Salt Lake City, the golden brown hillsides reflected a glow of warmth and gave no hint of the impending winter storm that was fast approaching. The next morning, and a short helicopter ride to within 500 yards of the cave entrance, found our team scaling, slipping and scampering to the gaping cave entrance. Our normal modus operandi is to have a field of work that allows level, unimpeded travel (on foot) for 3-7 seconds in North to South and East to West directions, with no bushes, trees, rocks or high grass. What a shock as we had peered out of the helicopter, the cave was on the face of a 40 degree slope, peppered with outcropping boulders and scrub trees. “Mission impossible comes to mind”!

A team of ground clearers removed rocks, bent over grass clumps, removed dead bushes to prepare a “landing strip” for the three foot wide antenna that will hover just above the ground to collect the data for the underground cave walls and exits images.

All day long the team cleared imaging paths behind the team’s biolocator. This specialized field of biolocation allows the imaging team to save time and concentrate on imaging just the location of interest, not areas that do not include caves, exits or tunnels.
