The Penningtons might like to know about the possibility of getting an artifact collector to show us the copper or bronze breastplate he dug up just across the stream from Chart Rock. He dug it up 40 years or so ago. I have friends who know him and he might (or might not) go on cameera but maybe he would at least let the artifact be videoed. It would be interesting to find out.
I think a probe he was using either poked a hole in the breastplate or dented it. If it made a hold, that argues for copper, I would think.
Also, I will forward you within a day or two the description of Chart Rock as it was before it was dynamited by treasure hunters. Charles Berry has a better handle now on where that part of the cliff is. The full range of carvings of figures, tracks, designs et. was obviously a major (religious??) site.
Reportedly a couple or three carved figures remain at the very top of the cliff but when you, I and Charles were there we did not know exactly where to look.
It is a short distance downstream from the Stone Throne with the pecked sun disk and rays, and the Inscription
