Howdy Fox Creek Kid.The reason I answered your question the best way I could ,is because I thought you were serious.First you are correct . I am not an Archaeologist.And I cant be 100% certain that the pile of rocks is a grave. I guess I am at fault for( putting two and two together).I found the shoe in the pic. below ,very close to the grave site along with other items ,such as an old water keg. Like I said it had been busted and staves from it made into a marker.Some clay or pottery pieces were also around the grave ,along with a metal button. It was very common to pile rocks over a grave in the past to protect the grave from varmints. All of these things make me believe it is a grave. And if it is not ,then no harm is done with us placing a cross over this place, and saying a prayer. I (seriously) doubt it is full of gold.As I said I will never be certain,,,,,,,,Dusty
