Hi, I am new to this site, as of 30 min ago. I am here for one reason. I have a friend who owns a house right on the water in Oriental, NC on the Pamlico Sound. Pirate stomping grounds. Too much info to type, but suffice to say we have come across several leads about this property having a buried wooded box on it, 4 x 2, about 3 feet deep. We know the location, within a few feet. Its a verified story, and there is now a concrete driveway on top of it. We had plans to dig for it last year, but life got in the way. Plus my friend is a multi millionaire (not me) and he could really care less about the money. Anyway, we were motivated more this weekend when we found a concrete marker buried a few inches under the sand that had what looked like a chicken foot symbol.....3 lines at the bottom with the middle line going straight up. There were two of these exact symbols, one on top of the other, showing the angle, or point of direction, with the markings 27 feet. In other words, arrows pointing, but to explain better, if you were to slide the point of a regular arrow all the way to the bottom, this is what the symbols looked like. These 2 chicken foot markers were pointing to the exact spot we were told the wooden box was buried, and it is about 27 feet away. It doesn't say feet, I am guessing. I guess it could be 27 paces, I don't know. Was wondering if anyone was familiar with those markings? I was looking for an expert person to come out and detect, but I fear that since its on the water, and its black mineralized sand, load with sea shells every inch of the way, that detecting would be impossible. If I am wrong, please advise. Thanks. Louie. PS, if this relic site is not the proper forum for this letter, please tell me which one is.
