Jesus Christ. I've had a copy of this book since it came out, and if you bastards actually manage to find one of these long-forgotten casks it'll be amazing. (I figured they'd all been dug up decades ago.)

Google Earth has a timeline feature that will let you see aerial shots from different dates, if available. It can be a crapshoot (my town's got nothing before 1997, for instance) but it might be useful in some cases.

Has anyone been able to find a copy of this book? I feel compelled to buy a copy.

I've actually had a copy since the book first came out, but it's buried in storage somewhere. (I remember as a kid thinking it was totally cool and I was going to figure out the puzzles and find the treasure. Yeah, not so much.)

Plus, asking the illustrator seems like cheating.

Yeah, I have a feeling if he hasn't spilled to anyone, he digs being part of the whole unsolved mystery thing. However, if there's a way to pass messages to him, he might get a kick out of the fact that a bunch of people have rediscovered this old thing and are trying to crack it again. :)

In the green you can see a 3 and 8. In the red you can a mirrored Zeta, which represents 7 in the Greek alphabet. Guess what's located at 38N 77W? The Arlington Cemetery.

I think we can probably rule out Byron Preiss sneaking into Arlington Cemetery in the middle of the night to bury a cookie jar.
