Turtle Signs and Symbols
The turtle is an important treasure symbol used to point to a trail or to give direction to a hiding place. If you see a turtle with markings on his shell, each mark represents 1 vara in distance. The number of marks is often followed by a vara arrow pointing in a particular direction. Three marks followed by a down-pointing arrow would indicate to proceed 3 varas south.

A turtle with its head removed indicates that the treasure has been removed. If the head seems to have been recently removed from the original carving or sketch, it is possible that another hunter is hoping to frustrate you from searching any further. My advice is…don’t give up! VARIATION, NOTE FEET FOLLOW TURTLE, TREASURE, TO NEXT SIGN
