Milwaukee This keeps nagging at me every time it comes up. I think the two lines: Step on nature Cast in copper Might be meant to be taken together rather than separately. I know here in Philadelphia we have inlaid copper plaques in the sidewalk in a couple places, is there any kind of thing like that in Milwaukee with some kind of nature motif?

TotalHell posted:My main issue with the pear/SC flag tree thing is that it doesn't necessarily tell us anything new if it IS true (unless it's really abstractly pointing to Fort Moultrie, which I am willing to keep as a possibility). We know it's in Charleston, SC. I feel like it's much more likely that it means something just as you said: in conjunction with the pine and probably the daisy as well. I buy that the daisy is a Palmetto tree, though mostly because I think it's reinforcing Fort Moultrie as the site (with a possible secondary reference to the Sergeant Jasper monument in White Point Gardens, though that's a Huuuuge stretch and unlikely imho). I don't really buy that the pear is the crescent, I think it's more likely a part of some kind of rebus.

Cask 6: Saint Augustine, FL This is a shot in the dark, but the flag above the rider (assuming it's Ponce de Leon) has been on my mind for a while. Could it be a reference to Flagler College which has a building called Ponce de Leon Hall? The imagery of honking (since there is a highway not far away from the college) as well as sails (since there is a major waterway there too) piqued my curiosity. Just a thought to spark discussion.

Milwaukee Goddamn, I've spent way too much time thinking about this. Ok, follow me here... View the three stories of Mitchell This is Mitchell Hall on the UW-M campus As you walk the beating of the world The campus is split by Hart(heart)ford Ave. Walking along it passes the American Geographical Society Library(world) At a distance in time Not sure, is there a clock tower visible at a distance from here? From three who lived there As you walk east on Hartford, you cross Downer, Hackett, and Shepard Avenues, named after historical Milwaukee residents. At a distance in space Again, not sure. Is there something in the distance that has to do with space from here? From woman, with harpsichord As you contiune the walk you come to Marietta Ave.(previously mentioned in the thread as a self portrait of Marietta Robusti) Silently playing Walking south on Marietta takes you through an area with a synagogue (Preiss, was Jewish, btw) and I think a library (so be silent). Step on nature Cast in copper Ok, here is where I wish I could put a picture but imgur is not working for me. Walking south on Marietta brings you to Locust St. (remember there is an image of a locust in the picture) and a block east of that is Lake Park Now, if you look on a map the are between N.Lake Park rd., E. Ravine Road, and N. Lincoln Memorial looks like a FOOT. Lincoln(copper) Memorial looks like a CAST. the "foot" is STEPping on the area where I think the casque is. Ascend the 92 steps After climbing the grand 200 The grand 200 is the Grand Staircase at Lake Park. The next 92 steps I'm not sure about, but it could be just walking uphill, rather than actual steps. The rest of the verse needs to be examined by actually going to the park and looking around to see how it fits. I think the casque is found by going in a ravine under one of the bridges (there are several) and following the clues to find a tree with some kind of marking on it. at the foot facing south should be where the casque is buried. I live in Kenosha...I might go up there this weekend and look around. As a side note...I think the red balls represent Mars. When entering Wisconsin through Kenosha, you see Mars Cheese Castle a pretty famous landmark around here. There is also the Mars building in Milwaukee (on Mitchell street!). Also of note is that the famous Allen-Bradley clock tower is visible from here.

Milwaukee Kilbourn Reservoir Theory In 1979, the reservoir was filled in with soil. It was known for being able to view the city skyline from it's southern-most point. It also had what looks to be a bridge on it. Also, it had an American Legion Star on it's side which could resemble a compass but, I only have one photo to go off of.  It was almost 160' in height and if we consider it a "grand 200" and you had a view like this:  Then the poem followed like this: ...First part of poem involves seeing the three buildings downtown (including Pabst Theater?) from a view... unsure about woman but, I'm going with Pabst Theater for this theory Step on nature Cast in Copper Not sure about this either yet because the park has been completely redone. I am thinking either worn soil made it look copper colored or there is some other minor explanation. I looked at the paintings ground cover and it resembles browned grass or possibly if I am wrong hereabout everything, maybe it's fallen and decayed pine needles? Then follow this design image which is based off of plans for what the reservoir resembles now. Note that the "grey" trees in the plans are original trees planned to be preserved if possible and birches probably were not saved. Also, the B in the rectangle I drew is the old bridge?: eit: I forgot to add that the Am Legion Star is the compass you pass  Which lets us see the proud tall fifth (new trees X'd out):  It's extremely flimsy and I can't confirm some parts yet without visiting it but, I wouldn't mind checking it out. I also don't know how the water got out or if there was anything resembling a culvert on the West side. I just wish I could see both sides of the 1979 version of the reservoir. crashdome fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Jun 6, 2013 |

No, they aren't perfect replicas since one is a painting, but they are the same style. Your quoted one is a completely different style of cross.

The closest I have found, though, is the Elk Lodge which has an Elk colored liked copper, but is not actually copper. But that sort of stuff is what that part of the verse makes me think of, personally.

Cask 9 Okay. So, I've been gathering evidence for number 9 and Montreal. After seeing the "leg-eater" which, I haven't been able to get any more information about, I was pretty convinced. So, here's what I see:  The shape of the Montreal islands reminds me of the shape of his mouth.   And look how similar that collar shape is to the river here. And notice that line along the opposite bank which is very similar to the line around the collar.  Could the PI stand for Parc des Iles (now Parc Jean Drapeau, which is made up of Ile Sainte-Helene and Ile Notre-dame)? That is where the 67 expo was held:  Are there any numbers that could match Montreal coordinates?  Weird buildings? (A stretch).  Upside down pyramids? (another stretch)  More things that I can't figure out what they are:  Something going on in the hair, there. Are those numbers or letters on the forehead (GP?)? What is that distortion in the checkers? And is that a face silhouette or a landscape silhouette? And there's another thing going on in the checkers over there.

Milwaukee The 200 connection with the Grand Staircase is supposed to be that 200 in Roman numerals is CC, and that's the shape of the staircase (though one of them is backwards). It (supposedly) has nothing to do with the number of stairs. That's written quite explicitly on the lemontiger site. I'm not saying it's a great interpretation, but it'd be pretty silly if people weren't even bothering to look at pre-existing hypotheses.

SF / General I think it's time we find a more organized way to do this. My suggestion is that we map out our logic as a means of a) Organizing the evidence we have and b) ranking our assumptions to see what fits and what doesn't. I've began to make a diagram through Google Docs that does just this. For example, here are some of the logical steps we've taken to conclude that the location is in San Francisco:  Obviously this does not represent all of the clues we've found, but I want to test the waters to see if others are willing to collaborate on this. The idea is that we start with the evidence on the left, and get more and more specific (i.e., this city, this park, this fountain, then under this rock) as we move to the right. For now I left assumptions as rounded rectangles, and indisputable facts as rhombuses. Here is a link if you would like to play around with it. You may need to install a plugin. I'm using an xml editor called draw.io (Diagramly), but I am open to suggestions for other editors. This one is free and fairly intuitive to use, especially if you have experience in visio or vector based graphics. I clearly cannot put something together like this on my own for San Fran, much less everything. I also don't have any real experience doing logic maps like this. Maybe people have suggestions on how to improve it? Things could get pretty messy, especially since we can't agree on which poem goes to which painting. Finally, it doesn't hurt to recall that quote:6. The picture is the key to it all. In both of the found treasures, the evidence pointing to the location was almost entirely in the picture. To stay on the right path, you should not even look at the poems until there is substantial evidence from the picture relating a few landmarks or objects.

I think this needs more airtime as there are still a lot more mentions of St. Louis. I know that the overlay pictures (I assume someone is still working on those) has it written up as St. Louis clues. Another thing for the to-do list would be to try and do the overlay of the picture with the clues from Montreal. Whomever listed the largest Montreal portion, have you tried to do an overlay for it?

Achmed Jones posted:Milwaukee I'm not disputing it or harping on you about it but, seriously... that explanation is about as flimsy as it gets. Who would think that if you take 200 and convert it to one of a hundred different possible expressions and then invert/flip/rotate part of it, it kinda resembles that staircase (but not really). I get the "grand" and the "climbing" part though. The 200 written as CC and then altered such that it fits??? No way. If that's the truth I give up on the rest because then: 92 could be 9+2 = 11 and most steps have 11" depth. So it's actually just one step. Edit: I guess what I'm saying is that based on he would simply substitute "L" for Lincoln in another puzzle, I will take 200 to either mean an actual 200 steps, feet, paces etc.. then some roundabout way to express basically what looks more like this: ( ) or this: 0 crashdome fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Jun 6, 2013 |

Boston I am finding that the Memorial Church inside Harvard's main campus was designed to specifically evoke the Old North Church where Paul Revere displayed the lanterns. Given all the other strong clues in favor of Harvard, can we assume that the entire poem refers to things inside Harvard only?

GWBBQ posted:NO I think this further proves the coastline theory, the 1994 outline looks even closer to the image than the 2013 scan. Some of the connections people are making from the photo are a bit out there, but they all provide evidence to a single location: the Fountain of Youth Park. Regarding the tree, I believe the tree in the painting and the tree mentioned in the verse are one in the same. In fact, there's a few palm trees on the right side of the coastline that seemed singled out and might be worth looking into. And as far as numbers are concerned, the base of a tree is circular, much like a clock. Perhaps the '2' (in the rocks) represents the location of the cask in correspondence with the number '2' on a clock. But again, I really have no idea at this point.

Milwaukeecrashdome posted:I'm beginning to think it's pine needles from what I can connect it to in the painting's ground cover like this: Goldaline posted:Milwaukee That is a good observation that could be something to look into. Quite a few of the first verses could possibly be referring to something in the Milwaukee Public Museum. Besides Marietta Street, there could be something in the museum of a woman, with harpsichord. It's been awhile since I have explored it but those types of things would be in a museum. The museum is open free for County residents on Monday if someone has the time and would be willing to go exploring there. The copper streetcar stops were recently placed and were originally on the 16th street viaduct, I believe. I don't think those would help. The biggest thing that bothers me about the whole "start at Mitchell hall and go to Lake Park" reasoning is why? I think Flewdefur's rules really need to be studied here for a bit. I'm assuming Preiss first came as a visitor to Milwaukee. He will probably get tourist information on the city which will include all of the highlights of places to see. I doubt UWM is going to be on that list and in fact to get to UWM will be more out of the way than to go downtown. Based on Cleveland and Chicago, I think the beginning and end is more centrally located and less obscure. This is the first page from the 1982 City directory which tells about the city and shows a picture of City Hall. Preiss would probably use something like this as a guide. The article goes on to show pictures of the War Memorial, the domes, the Performing Arts Center, the museum, and Juneau Park. He would probably use these easily recognizable landmarks as clues.

I was confused by the legeater statue too, the close-up shot in BJG's original post makes it look like a big ol' statue thing but it's really much smaller, just the base of the lamp. If you look behind it at the stonework on the front of the building, you can see that it matches the building in TheLastManStanding's google maps location, so it seems to be a dead match. But I find it interesting that there is more than one of them-- which legeater is it? Since that seems pretty well identified I am much more curious now about what the blocky black thing in front of it on the cloak could be. Could there be a building that matches its profile, when viewed at the right angle from the legeater?

BOSTON- A THEORY WITHOUT WEIRD poo poo All right, I walked around and took some pictures and notes today. I had three theories I was trying to disprove but all I did was strengthen one of them. I'm trying to remain rational and detached and I'd like to think this theory hits all the text points, doesn't divert into weird speculative Da Vinci Code masturbation, and makes sense. Here goes: If Thucydides is North of Xenophon If you're unmistakably in Copley Square… Take five steps In the area of his direction 'He' is the statue of Phillips Brooks, the only statue in Copley at the time of the writing. This big, bronze, pious motherfucker has his own little court area on the N side of the church. He's so baller he rocks Jesus as a parrot.  More on him later. The goal is to end up looking at the church from the direction which would make the face of the church appear like the castle on the box. This would be achieved by heading S on Clarendon and crossing over Boylston, if you're in the neighborhood and want to look at Brooks first.  A green tower of lights In the middle section This is a giant intersection featuring a confluence of 5 roads, one of which is an interstate onramp; it would have had a big ol' stoplight bank even back then. Also, Copley Square was bisected diagonally from SW to NE back in the day. Near those Who pass the coliseum With metal walls The people heading W on this street, St. James Ave., are commuters who are about to pass Fenway, Boston's beloved metal-walled coliseum, when driving home. The onramp to 90W is one of the roads that begins at the big-rear end Copley intersection with the giant bank of stoplights, and Fenway is less than a mile W. Face the water The Atlantic/Boston Harbor is NE. Your back to the stairs The library stairs, of course, are to the SW. Feel at home You're always welcome in a church. Also, the area directly abutting the Brooks patio was/is the clergy quarters. A man of God, memorialized right outside the home of men of God, within the house of God. A whole lot of God up in here. All the letters Are here to see You're on the side of the church where the library facade would be visible. It's blocked on St. James and Clarendon. Eighteenth day There are eighteen square stones on Brooks' patio, like calendar squares... Twelfth hour Of those stones, twelve have circular insets, like clock faces. Lit by lamplight There is a grassy patch that begins five paces from the corner of the statue. Those are the aforementioned five steps you have to take, in his area, right where his hand is directing you. So, uh, somewhere around this lamppost, I assume.  I found old photos that show a lamppost in the same spot a long time ago. It used to have bushes and a little retaining fence. Match up the little column things and pavers to give a sense of perspective.  In truth, be free. You have to be honest with the church about what you plan to do, because it's not technically a public park. (It's a corner of their property. Admittedly, this one is a little shaky.) I'm working on having a big version of an image dissection to support the Copley theory but it's too late tonight. Hopefully it will bring to light more of the specifics of where one should dig exactly. If anyone wants to compare notes on an alternate theory for the Fen/Victory Gardens area, lay it out- I had some ideas for those but can't quite make all the pieces fit.

The particular verse says: At the place where jewels abound Fifteen rows down to the ground In the middle of twenty-one According to the Mt. Stephen club wiki, a visitor was Princess Benedikte of Denmark. It is noted that on the day of her birth there was a 21 bomb and 21 gun salute. During her reign, the Act of Succession in 1953 happened, which allowed for women to secede to the throne. She became next in line for the throne (behind her uncle), but was the first woman to be in line for succession in general. So there is someone notable from the Netherlands associated with Mt. Stephens Club. Could be something, could be nothing.

CronoGamer posted:I was confused by the legeater statue too, the close-up shot in BJG's original post makes it look like a big ol' statue thing but it's really much smaller, just the base of the lamp. If you look behind it at the stonework on the front of the building, you can see that it matches the building in TheLastManStanding's google maps location, so it seems to be a dead match. But I find it interesting that there is more than one of them-- which legeater is it? BJG addressed this on a site he was trying to get help from those in Montreal on. It shows the black building alongside a picture of a Trellis, but it is admittedly not a very good match. http://detectionduquebec.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=354 I think there are 4 of them at the base of the lampposts. In the up close google map, it looks like only 1 is actually "eating a leg", but it just could be that the picture is not a good one. If we could get someone to go by there and take a picture that would help tremendously. I read that it closed in 2011, but I think the building still remains.

Boston I'm very impressed by the alternative interpretation of the "Paul Revere" bits and the removed lamppost. However, what about the bird, and the spheres, and the pattern on the dress? I can see that it might be possible to link the spheres to the twelve circles in the stones, but there is clearly a lot more going on with the spheres in the image. There are the soap bubbles and the weird metal frame (also with a pattern) and the star! Also, I can see how Trinity Church matches the "castle" in the image, but only if you selectively pick out shapes that should correspond. If this is actually what was intended, then I don't know... I have spent some time trying to match different churches for NYC and Boston and if this is an acceptable match according to BP, then it should be possible to match St. Mary's Byzanthine Church with the NYC "colorblind test" / "stained glass" pattern. It just feels wrong. Nesetril fucked around with this message at 08:21 on Jun 6, 2013 |

PunkNickel posted:Cask 9 My feeling is that your connections to 15 and 21 are a little too tenuous for the treasure hunt. Reading those, I thought that they would be a little more specifically related to the location of the cask. But I agree with your interpretation of the jewels abounding and wondering whether the Mount Stephens Club might be central to the hunt here. The cask in Cleveland was hidden in a public park, yes, but in that park it was buried in a planter (not in the open ground). There are shrubs and dirt and grass in front of the Mount Stephens club... could the verse refer to aspects of that building? All the columns and the pomp and such of the building seem reminiscent of Greek Cultural Garden...
