DAMN!
At a distance with woman with harpsichord.. silently playing.
That could be describing an angel! (or a saint)

G has to be the letter, because the Painting is for Germany, wonderstone refers to the jewel, and hearth means home, it’s home is Germany, and the letter from the country is G.  Perhaps there’s a tree with a G.

I hate to be a downer, but in Germany they don’t call their homeland “Germany” but “Deutschland”, so their wonderstone would have the letter “D”, no?

Is the Vermeer the painting mentioned by stercox?

check out that link people, scroll down on the wikipedia page, and you’ll see a woman with harpsichord

Uh oh, more women with harpsichords…

Here is a link to an early form of the harpsichord
that looks like a harp…the kind that an angel
might be seen playing…at St. Mary’s Hospital.

I may have to take a trip to the hospital…

but we already know that we need to be in Lake Park, we just need to find those lost birches?  If they’re still there, otherwise, the only way to get the casque is with GPR.

To the point…Yes, we need to know where the birch was/is…
and yes, we need to be able to see “underground”.
The next challenge is to find a GPR.

The hospital is in the proper location (as the verse goes)
to represent the lady with harpsicord.

But you are not going to see what was there in 1982.
It is purely semantics now to answer the last unsolved piece of this
verse.
The verse took us from the Domes of Mitchell, past the synagog,
*past the hospital*, to the east entrance of the park.
We are looking at the right spot.  It is nice to be able to find
a resasonable answer for the harpichord wman.

something like this….

If I remember correctly
, it’s carved at just about chest-height or lower, on the “inboard” face of one the trunks.  In other words, I think it was roughly facing towards the center of the grouping of trunks, as opposed to out.  It’s part of somebody’s name, and was carved on there quite a while back.  It’s now a pattern or scar in the bark, but was clearly a G.  It’s above the top cut-off line of your picture.  I also think it was facing roughly South.

Pine,
You were right.
On the inside of one trunk, facing south, I found a “heart” in the
photo I took on 06/15/07.  Good searching!  I did not see it
when I was right there!  It may or may not be the right tree,
but it was exciting to find it.

I am going to go dig up, and hopefully unearth the casque as soon as school lets out, which will be June 8th.  So sometime after that.

well, it’s time to receive news about Milwaukee casque…
nobody went to look arount our fifth tall yet?

That huge 4th birch is where I dug, at its southern foot!

Just thinking 30 years – a birch grows 24 inches a year…
or a 60 foot birch would have been a tiny sapling  when the casque was placed.

Forest Blight–
Let me know when you decide to venture to St. Louis.  Perhaps we can make a team effort.

Trohn is that a joke? I said “IF” I find the casque.

think what you want, bigmattyh, I really hope to find the casque and I think I will,
If I find the casque all I want is a congratulations.

You say this.  But I do not think you know what it means.

I can’t go dig it up yet, i’m 15 years old,

bigmattyh

I think he is going to wait us all out….
Seriously…  I can probably speak for most here that we want to just cross it off our list.

regulus

Just because I know where the casque is, doesn’t mean that I have dug it up yet, I can’t go dig it up yet, i’m 15 years old, besides,
it is almost winter and the dirt is frozen.

Winter comes early in Milwaukee.

… but I found the exact place, where it is buried, …

I have heard/seen this posted many times in the past, on many hunts.  Until you hold the casque, you don’t know that your solution is correct.
By sharing your thoughts with us, we can encourage you if it looks logical, or brace you for disappointment if it sounds hollow.  I PROMISE you that no one on THIS forum will rush out to grab the treasure before you.

Or you could do something really crazy like collaborate with someone who
lives in Milwaukee
, so that you can find that treasure sooner rather than later.  You never know what can happen over time — trees can be cut down, signposts can be removed, fires can burn down landmarks, floodwaters can wash out footpaths and bridges.  Think of New Orleans — who knows if that casque is still there, or if it’s even findable now?  Things change.  Seize the day, man!
If you learn to cooperate and collaborate with others, you can get a lot more done than you could on your own — something most of us come to understand sooner or later.  I say, give it a shot, and you’ll be way out ahead of your time.
