awesome line, great thread in general.

I'm seriously tempted to get these pictures blown up, I love the artwork as well.

The puzzle-solving is cool but the treasure is now a probably-broken decayed box and a key to nothing.

if it got enough publicity, you'd have to think SOMEONE who had an interest in the book back in the day would be willing to pay a healthy sum to own a legitimate casket/key from the treasure hunt, likely more than the gemstone itself would be worth.

that's exciting as hell, it's a pity (though not surprising) he's become jaded by the unauthorized diggers.

If my name is mentioned in an article saying I found one cask and assisted in finding another, I might be able to put that poo poo on my resume. :q:


I thought I was following this thread pretty closely, but this confuses me, are you one of the original 2 guys that's found one and the Houston one is your assist, or...?

It's just a smirky look.

I disagree, but I might be wrong. Examine both images one after another, and look for:

The smile: nostrils flared width-wise like they do when you smile, shallower wrinkles on face, smile makes face seem wider, fuller cheeks, the eyes seem to be smiling too, "healthier" hair (?)

The frown: nostrils flared length-wise like they do when you frown, deeper wrinkles on face, thinner face, smaller cheeks, sad eyes, "wilder" hair (?)

That being said, I have no idea what that might mean even if I'm not imagining things.

It's really funny that my reality check is being misconstrued as anger.

To be fair, it does come across pretty mad and/or bitter, kind of like the puzzle broke you to some small degree.

The main thing holding me back is the high cost of a plane fare from Australia. If goons shout me the fare, I promise to dig in at least two suggested places. Reputable, safe airlines only, thanks.


I'd chip in, on the reasonable condition you be kept caged until fulfilling your end of the deal.

A reputable, safe cage of course.

A guy that I know from Boston sent me a picture of a blue light that looks very much like the blue globes in image 11. The light is pretty old and he asked if I remembered or if I knew anyone who might remember other lights like that one around the city.
I posted the picture here and asked if any Bostonians might have memories of those lights. He got pissed and asked me to take it down. So I did. My bad for posting it without his permission.

Lmao, what a loving turbosperg.

Josh has got some crazy poo poo going on right now. He is honestly scared for his life because of the Secret. It's weird how the mind plays games on itself when it isnt healthy.

Agreed. Solves abound like cars in New York city. The spoils go to the people who put in the actually hard work of getting on site and figuring a way to get it.

Lol "hey use your equip to dig this up for me" truly the hardest of work and they deserved it way more than the people that showed up later that day to make the same request.
