Majority of hidden treasures particularly those that consists of large deposits usually have clues left behind by the individuals responsible in hiding them. THs (treasure hunters) refer to these clues as “treasure codes and signs”. They are actually engraved markings of strange symbols that only few experienced and clever THs can decipher or interpret.
Encountering any possible codes and signs around your prospective site actually increases the possibility of a hidden or buried treasure deposit on that particular area. They are most likely engraved on surfaces of nearby objects such as rocks, trees and concretes. Thus, the first and most important step of Things in treasure hunting is to “explore the site” for these kinds of clues.
If it happens that you discovered a certain strange marked symbol on the surface of an object, it is basically important that you examine it carefully. Try to distinguish the marking if it is either a “man-made sign” or “natural-made sign”.
Two Types of Engraved Signs
1. Man-Made Signs
Man-made engraved symbols are authentic signs that could aid THs in finding the location of the buried treasure. These kinds of markings can be distinguished by examining them if they were etched using manual tools. Although, this could be a problem to all TH beginners because acquiring this skill may take years of actual experiences.
2. Natural-Made Signs
Nature itself can actually carve almost anything which include natural-made signs. But unlike man-made signs, they have no intended purpose for THs but to cause “confusion”.

Interpreting Treasure Codes and Signs
Interpreting a certain treasure sign “correctly” is a vital part of Thing particularly in locating the hidden object which makes metal detectors or dowsing tools no longer necessary. It also minimizes digging efforts reducing all the hard work involve. Another importance of being able to interpret signs is to avoid dangerous traps.
So how do THs interpret codes and signs?
Most THs are able to interpret treasure signs through the use of “Thing Code References”. Although, only few of these codes are made available from the public such as on the internet. Some claimed complete copies exists but they are most likely for sale and there is “no guarantee” if they are really authentic or not.
In order to explain how THs exactly interpret a certain particular sign, let us have an example.
Let us assume that you found an “X sign” marked on the surface of a large rock. The first step that most experienced treasure hunting expert- thx- do is to distinguish the sign if it is either man-made or just natural. Considering that it is a man-made sign, the second step is to “identify” its possible meanings.
In general, an X symbol could mean target, object, spot, stop and danger. The first three meanings are good because they indicate the presence of the hidden treasure on the rock. “Stop and Danger” are the two meanings of an X sign that warns about dangerous traps or some possible risks involve, like explosives’, snakes etc.
The third step is to “search for any possible additional signs nearby” because it is actually common to encounter “more than just one signs”. Each of these signs are interconnected with one another revealing more clear details and meanings about the location of the hidden treasure. So on this example, let us say that you found another sign which is an “arrow sign” engraved on the body of an old large tree. It is about 6 meters away from the rock and it is directly pointing to the X sign.
The presence of the arrow sign is actually giving great “importance” to the location of the rock. So in connection to the X sign, this importance has something to do with the target, object and hidden spot of the treasure. Thus, excavation on that spot is highly advisable. But if the tree died and on the ground you should also look and search the area for signs that once was standing.
What if there are no other signs around that can be found?
If it happens that no other signs can be found nearby then there are 4 possible reasons about it:
1. Natural Sign
As already mentioned above, these are signs that are carved by nature which have nothing to do about any hidden treasures. And unfortunately, an engraved X is just one among the common natural signs that often confuse THX especially beginners. Other common natural signs include foot prints, arrows and holes.
2. Dud or Fake Sign
Some people who hid their treasures were tricky enough to setup dud or fake signs. Even experienced THs could fall into this trick wasting most of their precious time, efforts and financial budget. That’s what the Egyptian used to do to confuse thief’s and treasure hunters by putting many different sign that leads away from the target and some time to a danger where you could be killed by snake, a hall in the ground, quick sand etc..
3. Danger Sign
The last two meanings of an X sign is Stop and Danger which literally both means, “it is better not to attempt or avoid working on that particular spot”. This is usually the case if no other signs nearby can support the importance of any Danger Signs which includes the X.
Treasures Codes and Signs are Not International
Missing treasures around the world were hidden by different group of people on different period of time. This is the main reason why they made use of their own “unique set of treasure codes and signs”. Thus, if your interest is to search for the hidden Pirate treasures then you should only focus your research in studying Pirate treasure codes.
Moreover, I am making myself completely available to anyone who needs help in interpreting the signs that they discovered. Just give me the complete details about it and perhaps include some actual photos then send them either to
I remember when i was in IRAQ I WENT TO BABELON with a friend in a school trip and I found a sign that indicates something inside this rock when I flapped the rock I found another slap garnet or marble large tile, then I found a small room after digging of about one foot , the small underground room was filled with old mud plates and mud cylinders. I kept the secret with me for 30 years until I told my teacher about it, I dont know what happened as my teacher was killed and the Iraqi Shia government later stole it and not to be found !
