With the way the outline of the fort is shaped, it looks like the gem is to the west.

Xie completely abandoning the dig after all of the work he presumably put into it is one of the weirdest and funniest things...

There were all kinds of people rooting for xie in the thread though. I am guessing he started having second thoughts and realized how many people he was going to embarrass himself in front of if he dug and found nothing.

There's only one more thing funnier than these dumbasses who SWEAR I'm really gonna dig this time I mean it you'll see! And that's the mongoloid rubes who loving fall for it every time and believe them.

Guys go easy on Xie okay. He is just waiting for his class load in the summer of 2014 to die down and the brutal winter of 2015 to be over. Oh also his pussy wrist to heal after it shattered when he used a garden trowel or something. But he totally has the location completely figured out 100%. Spring 2015 is when this poo poo breaks wide open.

I'm convinced Xie had a good chance of finding it, but too many haters got on his back. The least he could have done was give his notes to somebody not pussy enough to dig. And lived in Boston. Which wasn't that many people, actually.

I only started talking poo poo to Xie when he kept making excuses. I was the sole voice speaking about him for a while so the argument he didn't dig out of spite for me is not true. Xie: "I'll show Tony! I'll show him! He thinks I'm lying about getting permission to dig and hurting myself digging so I'll .....ah...ummm....not dig! I'll show him!"

Which is probably not even a bad thing, to be honest. Nobody really cared at that point besides you so no big loss. lol you're just upset that someone was right in pointing out that you fell for a complete fantasy -- that anyone was ever going to dig.

Let's see, Chicago: count 10x13 feet from the absolute corner of Grant Park (between fence and fixture) Cleveland: count 9 across and 10 down bricks on a giant wall Milwaukee: use a divider or draft compass to protract your way from City Hall to a park 3 miles away, dig at the foot of a statue Boston: connect two light posts and find an intersection with a third post that intersects with the letters on a gate across the street Roanoke area: no special tools, but a person might consider how a plumb bob would hang from the end of an arm on a "telephone pole" or T-shaped structure while "looking north at a wing" Charleston area: no special tools, locate a cistern at an old lighthouse building New Orleans: no special tools, consider the problem like moving a knight on a giant chess board where one of 3 sculptures stand in a row and tomb number 21 intersects on one of the ranks Houston: use a line of sight angle to connect two points of different height, (1) apex of theater, (2) center of a rhombus shape (four equal sides) in the Atropos sculpture ... That's about the gist of it. I think Boston is our best chance if anyone wants to have a successful dig. I have doubts about the others.

The Charleston solution of "triangulate between outward pointing arms of two statues at white point gardens" solution seems very doable and extremely likely to me, but like most of the other solutions, digging there is wildly illegal and like many other people I don't want a felony charge.

The problem is it's a historical site so it would have to be an archeological dig with all that entails. Didn't they just ask if they could dig around though? I mean if someone could with a fair amount of certainty determine where it was, give them the info, and be like "yeah, just dig it up and maybe put it on display" then maybe they'd look into it and do just that. Granted that's more in the interest of solving the mystery than claiming the cask and selling it on eBay. Also there's still a good chance the park people just wouldn't care.

Because Xie never had the info in the first place. This is the whole thing. He had an excuse every time he was called on it: 1) ground is covered in snow 2) ground is too wet 3) ground is hard 4) hurt my wrist 5) school work 6) job Etc etc

Digging in frozen ground suuuuucks. Xie may or may not have had the info. I hope it does exist and it gets passed on to somebody! "Hurt my wrist" is . . . well, if you have help, you can do the tasks that that aren't very wrist-y. "Doing stuff with friends" is either trolling those of us who still believed or the clearest evidence that Xie had lost any real interest in doing it at that point.

I have walked the path and have seen the clues that Xie came up with and I just can't get behind his theory. I am not even convinced that the painting points to Boston in any definitive way like the solved puzzles or some of the others do. No one has been able to concretely tie anything in that painting to anything in Boston.
