Possibly, but that goes against the solved verses, which unlike the picture probably vary less in that a throwaway line to the right city seems out of place. The verses are more or less walking directions, and giving you the correct starting spot is pretty important. I can't think of anything specific about those names in the US, and Google pulls up nothing specific to St. Louis. I looked over a huge list of St. Louis landmarks and nothing struck me as notable from the image itself. There is a water tower that looks far too vague for my liking, but nothing nearby matches any imagery at all. While there are obscure literary references, I can't imagine how someone would have been expected to know of the Xenophon/Thucydides quote about Boston/NY, and that still doesn't give you any kind of starting location to move from. This is all working back from a location we want to fit and shoehorning it in that way - the puzzle should be solvable forwards too. I don't think the emerald part is important (nor at the end of the day do I actually think anything is buried at CGate, but here we are) so much as the crown jewel part, but eh. xie fucked around with this message at 04:48 on Jun 15, 2013 |

rookhunter posted:There is evidence in Roanoake that leads the the spot where the bench is at. The shape of the trail is on the image, the wooden post/fence thing is also in the image. What it comes down to is how you interpret, "Under that which may be last touched or first seen standing." A bench meets that criteria. For reference, the bench is located on the Thomas Hariot trail in Fort Raleigh. I made a dot for that, and where the gate is located in the Garden Gate theory. At this point I'm too busy to actively speculate, but I'll gladly poke around and dig at different spots people suggest if and when I can finally get down there. My birthday's in July so I might just try and use that as an excuse to crash at my sister's place on the island since she doesn't seem to care about this search.

San Franscisco Verse 5 variant Zip posted:I see a lot of stuff about verse 7 being the sf verse. How sure are you guys of this? I get the Twain reference for sf but im not sure thats the verse for it. I was playing around with Verse 5 at work today for fun and the Alcatraz thing really jumps out at me, too. I went back through the thread and to my surprise this was the first post I saw that proposed a Verse 5/Alcatraz connection. I haven't tried to match anything in the picture aside from knowing that the Gh is being viewed from behind towards Alcatraz and what you just said about the pelican. And the Alcatraz Rose I guess, but I only just Googled that. http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/rosesant/msg0322442112490.html   Lane Two twenty two You'll see an arc of lights Lane Two: Noting the difference in capitalization, I split things up and tried to find something that could be Lane 2.  This is from the early nineties and the piece I read says it formalized the existing unofficial boating lanes. Maybe the east-bound lane is Lane 2? I guess the way to find out would be to track down someone who was active in the bay boating community in the 80's and ask. 22: The range of the Alcatraz lighthouse in nautical miles. You'll see an arc of lights: The lighthouse light circling around. The plural bothers me. Is an other object around that is an arc of light that would be visible from the water? Weight and roots extended Together saved the site Double meaning here. First, Alcatraz Island is basically just a big chunk of rock that is more earthquake resistant than the loose soil of the surrounding area, isn't it? The big earthquake in 1906 that devastated San Fran didn't really do that much damage to Alcatraz. Could you say that the rock has roots deep in the earth? quote:The 1906 earthquake caused very little damage on Alcatraz. A number of chimneys suffered cracks, and a few piers that supported several buildings had to be repaired. The second is how "roots extended" was involved in creating the Alcatraz that has survived to this day. quote:Perhaps the most dramatic example of demolition was that of the Citadel, building I, which Secretary of War Elihu Root authorized in 1908, when the decision had finally been made that Alcatraz would be the site of a permanent military prison. So a Root could maybe be said to be the father of Alcatraz! Of granite walls Wind swept halls Citadel in the night It's the Dragonstone of America. Al Capone is Joffrey's real father Alcatraz Citadel is the name of the fort that used to occupy the site. I haven't been to San Fran since I was a kid, but it's really breezy, isn't it? The Wikipedia article says that granite was used in Alcatraz's construction. A wingless bird ascended Born of ancient dreams of flightr That's a lot of words to say "Birdman of Alcatraz" but somehow I manage to gently caress it up before editing it in. Beneath the only standing member Of a forest To the south White stone closest At twelve paces From the west side This is pretty messy and I'll deal with it in a bit. Get permission  To dig out. (of prison) So the messy bit: If you pull up a Google Maps of the south end of Alcatraz island you can pick out a lonely tree next to what I think is a white rock. Here it is:  For a sense of proportion, I think those are three people waking to the east of it. The thing is, I don't think that it's that easy. I mean, maybe this is babby's first gemstone because it's first of the riddles (the author thought the first few would fall prety quickly), but it's been shown earlier in the thread that the verses themselves can be really malleable. I can't recall who the poster was, but it was pointed out that the team that found one of the casks turned around and matched the same verse that they knew was invalid to a different city with no problem. if you look back on Montreal-chat we were pretty hyped about one verse with one starting location and now we're elsewhere with a different verse and I actually think that we're on the right track. The Q4T just proposed an other theory with a completely different verse that says we're totally wrong. we aren't For the messy verse in question, maybe look at the Indian graffiti? From what I've read, Alcatraz was originally known as "White Rock Island" because of all the pelican poo poo. I think that Preiss had enough forethought to put a clue together that would last past the next rain or two. There was a big Native American occupation during the late sixties that left a TON of graffiti. What do you want to bet that something they wrote refers to the original name of the island? Or that there's a picture somewhere that looks like a tree or a white rock? Here's a really tortuous example of such a reading:  The rain cloud kind of looks like a white rock. Ya-Ta-Hey means "Greetings" in navajo or something. But from what we all know from the Lone Ranger a palm must be upraised for a proper hello!  Oh gently caress! Palms aren't indigenous to the Bay area! (Or maybe they are, I don't know) Anyways, you (or someone from SF who think that this theory has merit) should probably head out to Alcatraz and look around things tying it to the image in the book. Heck, maybe even ask the tour guides about what they think of those lines? I won't be of any help since I caught myself trying to match the Cask 9 collar to Alcatraz paths in Google Earth. Good luck!

Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:Count me out of any "Goon Meet"-type stuff unless somebody has a really good idea of where the cask is buried (as in, like good enough that we actually find it there) and I get to take some of the credit for finding and uncovering it. Goon friend of mine asked me to pop in this thread with some comments on renting/building GPR. Rental shouldn't run you $1k a day as mentioned elsewhere in the thread. More like $1k for a week. Also the guy who is building his own: have fun, shield it, center freq. ~300-700 MHz,bandpass filter 100<x<1000. A ceramic block isn't going to look much different from a tree root, except it is a point target (like a rock, cobble, etc). Root will show up on adjacent lines. I do wish the thread best of luck. Neat idea, revisiting a treasure hunt from the 80s with modern techniques (Google Street View, Maps, etc). If these are in public places, I think 75% of them have been destroyed by public works, but whatever. Happy to be wrong. Go find Goon Treasure.

Milwaukee This thread is amazing amd mesmerizing. I want to share my thoughts about the first few phrases of the verse for Milwaukee, although not a mother-tonguer and 4400 miles away...so please be gentle and forgiving if it's nonsense. As someone still had doubts about the picture relating to Milwaukee or Milwaukie, I think the juggling theme relates to the round gear in the flag of Milwaukee. Btw, there are red balls that totally look like the ones in the picture at the golf course in Lake Park and the blue shade around the ladies' head looks for me like an outline of Lake Park. View the three stories of Mitchell As you walk the beating of the world Mitchell Hall is very plausible. The beating of the world is however strange. Maybe it was meant to interprete the motto of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee "numen lumen", which seems to be a pretty nonsensual, non-classical latin phrase. One translation tries something like "the divine within the universe, however manifested, is my light." So it somehow relates to a devine spark in the world, a heart beat. So the translation would be: Walk by the university, look at Mitchell Hall, so that would be Kenwood Blv heading east. At a distance in time From three who lived there Someone at one of the old forums (not Q4T, I have not seen what they did) marked Downer, Summit and Shephard Ave, as the streets to be crossed. Downer was a judge who lived in Milwaukee. I couldnt' find a confirmation for people named Shephard and Summit, but there's a book about the street names in Milwaukee...if someone has access to it, it may be confirmed. Translation would be, Cross the streets named after three guys who formerly lived in Milwaukee. At a distance in space From woman, with harpsichord Silently playing The most plausible (for me) regarding this is Marietta Ave. Marietta was a painter and the only painting clearly attributed to her is the self-portrait with harpsichord. She lived at a distance in space, though far way, and as it is a painting, the playing is silent. Step on nature Cast in copper I like the Lincolm Memorial solution for the cast in copper. If you follow the path, Kenwood Blv ends at Lincoln Memorial Drive. Step on nature 1: It's the entry for Lake Park. Step on nature 2: Oak Tree Trail (although I'm not sure it was named this way in 1982). Cast in copper is placed after the step in nature. So i believe this could be a hint not to follow the Lincoln Memorial Drive itself (as you should stay in nature), but the Trail close to it. Ascend the 92 steps After climbing the grand 200 This is a very controversial part. Someone pointed out the Grand Staircase doesn't match the numbers. If you follow my thought above, you will have to pass stairs on the trail, close to Ravine Road, well before you reach the grand staircase. This can be seen on streetview, but unluckily not much more. Can somebody follow this way and see, if it is a better match or where it goes that might resemble anything matching with the grand 200? Pass the compass and reach The foot of the culvert Below the bridge For me, no real convincing compasses have been revealed yet. The lighthouse seems not right. If on the alternative path I proposed nothing shows up, maybe there was still a NATO symbol or flag at the former Nike station?! The NATO symbol looks a compass. If this is correct, the next bridge would be the first lion bridge. Or it goes in the area close to the Nike station, where there seems to be a waterfall. This is much further north than it was proposed. The other things have to sorted out in the park. The letter can relate to something that looks like a rune, maybe (Wonderstone-->vulcanic-->often found in iceland-->There's LIfe the Explorer Monument farther south with runes?

Well drat, it's 2:00 in the afternoon and I'm still trying to decide whether to drive back to Houston today or not. That trip yesterday drained the poo poo out of me, and to be honest I haven't been getting much sleep this week anyway. To top it all off, I'm starting to think that my primary spot is gonna be a tough sell permission-wise.  If anybody else is in Houston today, let us know what you turned up. Delivery McGee posted:He's planning to personally dig up the Houston one and get helper credit if we find one of the other ones he can't go to dig up himself. Look I just wanna feel like I contributed, okay.  Delivery McGee posted:Here's one of many GPR companies with a Houston office. I have no idea on prices or anything, but call one of those numbers (or email them from the "contact us" page) and they can hook you up. Looks like they include a guy to operate the machine. Thanks, I'll look into this. It looks like these people have assisted police in finding human remains on private property, so I'm guessing they know their poo poo.

The highway's illuminated overhead exit signs span the overpass and are planted in the ground directly across the water from the little loopy bit (in the lower portion of the middle section of the park). It looked like it's currently an active worksite for some sort of project involving big machinery so snooping seemed like a no-go.   I have a lot of pictures from a long trek yesterday that I'm still sifting through, but I'm not entirely put off of Charlesgate yet. I was holding a little hope for some tenuous Fens connection but sadly I couldn't find one drat thing that jumped out at me.

I think that the hair looks like a bunch of wharves but that could be any number of ports and I would probably start there if I were to try and find somewhere other than Boston. People have been claiming with other pictures that the cities are known because longitude and latitude are found in them. That does not seem to be the case here - 24/42 and 112 are the only numbers that I can really see. That fits to the middle of nowhere Idaho. Does someone have a list of where the longitude/latitude numbers are on the other pictures? Is it really pretty consistent?

Anybody got a silver ring and a copy of The Lesser Key of Solomon? Waltzing Along posted:Has anyone even dug a hole yet? My original plan yesterday was to go poke a few holes in the ground, but the area I went to was a bit too crowded for me to do anything except snap a few photos. I might go back out there a bit later, but at this point I'll probably have to call a GPR crew before I can even poke a hole.

Hey I don't have to keep the box. I just wanna make some holes in the ground and have a small share of the glory. ... and not get yelled at by my parents for spending more than $100 on something other than rent. I got bills to pay just like everyone else. Like I said earlier, that Resume stuff is just a dumb wishful-thinking fantasy I use to justify the time and money I've been putting into this for the last 2 weeks. To be honest, if I at least get my name mentioned in an article, then my folks will probably be cool enough with it to turn a blind eye toward any money spent in the process. The main reason I'm doing this is because I find this kind of thing to be FUN AS poo poo.... it's like a live-action Redwall search or something. ... Screw it, here's a bit of what I have so far: Houston Verse 1 posted:Fortress north Verse 1 posted:Cold as glass EDIT: Aaaaaand Wikipedia says it was built after 1988 and opened in 2004. poo poo. Verse 1 posted:Friendship south I'm still working on piecing together some of the other parts of my theory, but this is what I've got as of right now. I. M.

Dr. Gitmo Moneyson posted:Also from Anthem, generally agreed upon to be referring to railroad tracks. I didn't get to take a photo of it yesterday, but there's a railcar system on the street between the Rice University campus and Hermann Park. Unfortunately though, I don't know how long it's been there for... would anyone care to look this up real quick? Looks like construction on the first light rail system in Houston started in 1983. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/METRORail Edit: Yeah, Hermann/Rice is part of this system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Park_/_Rice_University_%28METRORail_station%29 and opened in 2004.
