I dunno HoboZero, Another line of research to consider involves the assumption that the birth of a century is fixed upon the founding of the USA in 1776, thus Century One is 1877-1976 and Century Two is 1977-2076. Something having to do with a "white house", "freedom" and a medal (see image 2's Fort Sumter), palms on ribbon bars, in 1977, the birth of Century #2, First Lady Bird Johnson received the Pesidential Medal of Freedom. How might Lady Johnson be connected with May 1913 or something relevant to Charleston? In 1972, First Lady Pat Nixon traveled to Africa with former First Lady Bird Johnson,  I find it interesting that they delivered a speech at the inauguration of William Tolbert (born May 13, 1913). This African travel story about the 36th and 37th First ladies is a little more accessible to a 1981-based audience than a 68 year old magazine article. Furthermore, Tolbert is the grandson of Danial Frank Tolbert of South Carolina who sailed from Charleston to Monrovia on the Azor on April 21st, 1878 (Liberian Exodus). Acknowledging the Edwin and Edwina reference in Abroad in America, means recognizing this individual: Edward Wilmot Blyden (3 August 1832 – 7 February 1912), the father of pan-Africanism, an educator, writer, diplomat, and politician primarily in Liberia. I think it's clear that some deep African/Charleston research was performed by Preiss. Looking again at the verse, Harken to the words: Freedom at the birth of a century = Lady Bird Johnson, recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 Or May 1913 = an issue of National Geographic or the birth of William Tolbert in Africa Edwin and Edwina named after him = Edward Wilmot Blyden Or on the eighth a scene Where law defended The use of the word "or" would indicate some particular connection between the Freedom and May lines, so the focus on Lady Bird Johnson and her trip to Africa to meet Tolbert should lead the searcher to relevant thing or place in Charleston. Perhaps the Blyden line supports the May 1913 line by stimulating some geographic thinking about Liberia. I'm beginning to think we must hearken to the words of Lady Bird Johnson delivering a speech in Liberia. I'm also beginning to think her name is important to picking up on the relatively obscure news of a murder scene on April 8th of 1873 when lighthouse keeper Andrew Johnson killed his wife. Since I've used the internet to reveal most all of these details, I'm still unsure how people would proceed to make each discovery in 1982. Anything is possible, but it seems only a Charleston resident would have the privilege of hearing the gory tale about a monster in their own backyard. I don't know what source would apply to paying attention to the events of the First Ladies. These days I only hear about Michelle Obama by watching Jimmy Fallon. Maybe Ed Sullivan reported on Pat and the Bird in 1971...(before my time)...but I don't really know what source would best be used in 1982.

I think we must look at verse 6 for Charleston like this: Treasure Island's introduction by Robert Louis Stevenson is paraphrased as a means to have us discover an island, but also to recognize the role of a lighthouse. It is well established that Stevenson is related to a family of lighthouse builders (his father and grandfather). The links to First Lady Johnson's travels in Africa, Tolbert, and Blyden and possibly the parallel addition of National Geographic Magazine tell us there's something important to discover in terms of finding a "Monster in our own backyard". In 1873, on the 8th of April, the scene of a murder of lighthouse keeper Andrew Johnson's wife, Byron Preiss was moved to connect that location by means of relating the wife of a president of the same name, Lyndon B. Johnson's wife, First Lady "Bird" Johnson. Lady Bird Johnson was the first woman to sit on the Board of Trustees for the National Geographic Society. I wonder if that's the main reason Preiss dug deep into that magazine for material that would apply to the themes worked into Image 2.

Yes, Urban Smurf, I think you could really have something of intrinsic value there. I think the philistines might have trouble parsing it but after the 37th reading thirty-seventh reading thirty-SEVENTH reading THIRTY-SEVENTH reading the point is reached at which a line crosses a line and one can never stop seeing what the queers are doing to the soil

I still have some hope that someone will muster a dig plan in Charleston. A lot more aimless rambling by others has been devoted to explorations in the White Point Gardens, but thats also a place thats much more difficult to gain right of access for digging. I'm thinking its worth a shot trying to unravel this puzzle anyhow. There has to be a point reached where it makes rational sense and then we can look at a dig plan. I don't know which makes more sense, or which is more viable coming from a perspective that a person would have the available resources to take a particular approach to the puzzle in 1982. I still think its possible that Freedom at the birth of a century has to do with Denmark Vesey, a slave in 1799 who won a $1500 lottery and bought his freedom. Or is it about Lady Bird Johnson getting a Presidential Medal of Freedom?

A new century starts at year 1, so 1801. Hope this helps.

Palicgofueniczekt posted:A new century starts at year 1, so 1801. Hope this helps. Maybe that does help. Ive seen differing sources on Denmark Vesey. I bought an old book about him that says he bought his freedom in 1800, while wikipedia's source says 1799. Neither being 1801, so that being the case, the words "start of a new century" or "birth of a century" wouldnt strictly apply. Why does Priess use the word "birth" anyway? It would seem he wnts us to recognize that kind of event where a person or event undergoes a typical naming ceremony. Thts what people do with new babies. Isnt that what happened in 1776 when the founding fathers decided it was no longer the King's country and we would be a "United States of America". I'm really warming up to the idea of using the dates 1877 or 1977 as new centuries after the adoption of the US Constitution in 1776. I'm also warming up to the VP succession of Johnson after both Lincoln's and JFK's death. That twin or parallel is perhaps what snagged BP's attention and why he goes through the trouble of using the Edwin and Edwina line and wby he says "white house close at hand", meaning the VP. How could it not pique ones imagination to hear that a murdering lighthouse keeper had the same name of Lincoln's successor? Thats why I believe the Twin Lighthouses in Cape Romaine some 30 miles outside Charleston are a consideration for finding a casque.

I don't talk about FL, but those who do act as if they are near certain. Using verse 9 and image 6 they have lots of dig strategies near palms and rocks and green picket fences. The owner of FOY is informed about the hunt and has entertained a lot of ideas and supported some digs, but he's really not cool with people doing things without very good justification and especially without first asking permission. The answer is usually "no". The main reason people don't talk much about it is that they are working quietly to dig without permission.

There are a few people who are working on a secret dig, and a few secret digs have happened.... because it isn't hard to jump those tiny fences at night. However, most people who are local and working on St. Augustine don't think it is in the park.

I've offered a dig spot in Boston and in New Orleans, but nobody worthy of wielding a shovel has stepped up to dig. I have a dig plan in the works for a different location, but it will require some tranquilizers and heavy fog around the time of Thanksgiving.

Cask 9, Montreal Paging Guuse to the thread. Was just going back through some of our discussion, and I have to tell you, some new poo poo has come to light Paging Meat Street to the thread because the original goon wiki was way better than this self-serving drivel: http://thesecret.pbworks.com/w/page/22148559/FrontPage As in, some dude railroads all of his poo poo and deletes anything he doesn't agree with, all while pimping his (wrong) theories to strongarm people with supple wrists to do his digging for him. Meaning: I believe all of the "dig spots" being solicited on this wiki are suspect. Actually, his Houston theory Image 8, Verse 1 is okay in a smoke and mirrors kind of way.
