This is a link to a download of the artifacts found in the garden.

So to summarize Josh ran all over NO desperately looking for a location where “something” would keep him from digging, so he could say, “I solved it but, I can’t dig there”
but he A: picked a place that Byron Priess specifically said wouldn’t be a location
and B: had already been the site of a complete recent archaeological dig
and C: All the artifacts found in the dig are listed online and the casque is not listed.
oh and D: the clues he followed in Armstrong plaza – were all located on the side that was completely removed and rebuilt after Katrina.
Did I get that right? Cause I was really hoping for better

im excited about COMPLETELY SOLVING THE PUZZLE AS IT WAS DESIGNED BY PREISS…casqes are cool, bt i dont need em.

Yes I agree unearthing a casque is cool but why bother really digging it up. That would ruin the fun for everybody
Thank you not digging up the Houston casque even though you found it. I would have nothing left to do with my life
I am starting to think Josh Cornell is just a phantom trick to make the forum members to unwittingly come together and rework rethink and reprove its past finding.
Thank you again

It’s also a cemetery. No casque.

JoshCornell1

lmao no its not you have no idea what you are talking about…
pere antoine is buried in the church itself, not the garden.
an-toin-e=anthony
its a play on words.

Do you have any idea how foolish you are. That not a play on words it’s french. You should come down to Louisiana sometime we have many different way we spell things here. The back of the church was a cemetery and garden. Don’t believe me download the pdf I linked before. BTW no casque and they list every thing found even finger nails.

MrSeabass

Go dig up the casque bitch.

what MrSebass said.

JoshCornell1

that would be the corner between the tree and hedge as it points to where the church alley and garden meet…

then go…time is ticking..put your money where your mouth is..all this travelling and no digging

JoshCornell1

thats gotta be it…

Because Yea (not) all the other (none) found casques had dig instructions in the image. Thats it.
If I didn’t know better I would say you are basically winging this.
But I have it on good authority (you) that You had all the casques completely figured out (except for one clue in boston.)

JoshCornell1

just remember that if i dig up new orleans…you have to delete your account…and not make a new one…XD
and where’s dambala…

I’m right here my friend. Do you have the $1000 with you? I will take it off your hands tonight, or tomorrow….whenever. BTW, another hunter and I are doing a dig on Saturday if you want to know where it actually is you can come along.

If it’s all the same to you Dambala, Josh has cornered the market on “knowing where it is”. “Knowing where it was” is available though. Good luck on your dig.

Yeah, well if he’s out digging in Jackson Square right now he’s going to need that 1000 bucks to bail himself out of OPP.

Waiting with baited breath for St Augustine and JC showing up to the 1×1 square with a trowel.

JoshCornell1

there is one clue left i havent gotten…and im worried- if it is in the spot i believe it to be- that the final marker has been moved…after katrina rebuild…i still have it down to a cleveland level location though…i could be a dick and do mass excavation lol

Josh, let me help you out here. Nothing was “rebuilt” in Jackson Square or St. Anthony’s Garden after Katrina. There was damage to the Touchdown Jesus statue in St. Anthony’s Garden and some trees were knocked down but the general landscaping is exactly the same. I was in the Quarter during Katrina and for then next 16 months following Katrina. It’s virtually the same landscape it was before the storm.
And oh….it’s not in either location. St. Anthony’s garden is actually private, it’s owned by the Archdiocese and it’s not open to the public. It wasn’t open to the public in 1980…it’s one block off Bourbon and they don’t want drunk people trashing the garden and climbing all over Jesus.
And…it’s not in Jackson Square…that would have been the equivalent of burying it in Times Square in New York. Jackson Square is the most visited site in the city as it was in 1980…that includes Bourbon Street. Thousands and thousands of people come through Jackson Square on a daily basis. If Preiss did manage to bury there, even in 1981, the guy was a fucking ninja.
If you jump the gate…keep in mind there are cameras monitoring the entire area. Aside from wasting your time because it’s not there, you are probably going to get arrested and believe me when I tell you OPP is no place you ever want to be.
If you’re here on Saturday, you can come with another hunter and I to conduct a dig “around” Armstrong. Just have that thousand bucks ready

JoshCornell1

like i said…because of the situation…its very possible this is the red herring and its actually in the cbd.
however, its not out of the realm, as it does not meet the qualifications for not being buried…he did specifically note…public gardens (flower beds)…not private gardens.

Page 219
The following places do not hold any treasure:
(C) any public or private flower bed.

We can help you with if the spot was open to the public in 82. What spot is it.

JoshCornell1

i didnt complete this one as much as i did boston, charleston and st augustine…plus montreal…
those ive accounted for every single clue less one on boston.
.

Can’t wait for you to get here. Hell I’ll even buy your way into the park. And lunch, lunch is on me. All you gotta do is show up.

Josh
Is this the same methodology you used for Houston
I am just trying to make sense of your posts

Why bother? The charade is more embarrassment than entertainment. There’s been no evidence of reasoning on any level relating to the hunt. He has offered no proof or pith…ever. Strange times.

Repeating the same mistakes over and over again and expecting different results.
I’ve heard of this before…

JoshCornell1

FINISHED this one in my dreams last night

Im so thrilled for you because that is the only way you will get a casque.

JoshCornell1

if

if?
I thought you had all these solved?

maltedfalcon

if?
I thought you had all these solved?

Down to 1×1 spot. I thought New Orleans was your most confident solve. I guess all the solves are only in your dreams.
BTW how did you get a plane ticket for less than $50 to Houston.

JoshCornell1

i was right you f**kers…it WAS accessible in the 80s and through the 90s (but locked up at night).
however, after Katrina…the U of Kansas…did an archaeological excavation along that side of the garden where St Anthonys Palm meets Pere Antone Alley (in French) in the Garden of St Anthony. Furthermore, St Anthony is the patron st of lost articles…so…its probably between the palm and little hedge pointing towards the corner where the alley meets the garden and church.
i talked with the people at the rectory about this specifically..they were super nice.
but you cant enter, shoot video, or dig without permission from the archdiocese.
there were 2 punk rock grounds crew dudes in the garden…and they saw me shooting and liked my shirt…so we talked…i told them…and they were actually going to dig for me XD
i said not to bother.
cant do it now. im not even gonna try. but i am going to contact u of kansas.

should have had them did for you, if in fact, as you said last night, you were content with just solving the puzzles.

should have had them did for you, if in fact, as you said last night, you were content with just solving the puzzles.

You do realize this is old news. Several post in the image 7 thread had theories in that garden. It’s also in the threads about the excavations also in the news. Can’t believe your so excited about news that over a decade old.

ITS NOT IN A GARDEN. that whole area is a very manicured. He did not bury there read the book.
What are you shooting?

A Catholic garden would never have a gnome or fairy anywhere in it. It would be sacrilegious.

JoshCornell1

COMPLETELY SOLVING THE PUZZLE AS IT WAS DESIGNED BY PREISS…casqes are cool, bt i dont need em.

Everybody pay attention here, this is where he realized he is totally wrong and changes the rules, so that even when he cant find a single casque he has solved all the puzzles…

JoshCornell1

so…4 layered symbolic clue!!! preiss rules.

Enough with this…if you know where it is, go get it man. Not even possible to claim you’ve solved a damn thing unless it is in your possession. You don’t want it bad enough. You have no proof to your solve. Zero. The proof is the tangible evidence. You get nothing! You lose! Good day, Sir!

The palm was planted after Katrina. Awesomely wrong.

either way yo look at it…my solution is RIGHT. if the puzzle is designed to lead you there its the right reading, but wrong route. same thing happened to me when i did milwaukee…so im really not surprised…just..i didnt think it would go to the end…it might be there…heres some other factors…
louis armstrong is a directorial marker…the casque is NOT in louis armstrong park…you are meant to enter the park through the archway…and make your way straight forward to the statue of louis…heres how it works two ways…
the stick of the mask, is the directorial marker…go in a straight line from louis armstrong statue in either of the two ways…and both work. “
You’re right..it’s not “in” Louis Armstrong Park, it’s “next” to it. The Armstrong statue wasn’t in the spot you are looking at now in 1980, it was moved in 2010. So I don’t know what you think the path is but the statue has absolutely nothing to do with it. The entrance isn’t important either.
In 1980 the CBD/Warehouse District was a very different landscape than it is now, specifically post-Worlds Fair in 1984.
How am I going to spend that grand? Hmmm….

JoshCornell1

i dont think its there…but i will contact the u of kansas to see if they got it and/or went down 3 ft. if they didnt go 3 ft…someone else can be a dick and dig it up…they arent going to give you permission…thats for sure.

THEY OFFERED TO DIG FOR YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU

It was filled with large 100 to 200 year old oaks sycamore and magnolia trees not palms sorry. Wrong. Also it was the university of Chicago that did the did not Kansas.
Here’s a news paper story on it.
https://m.bestofneworleans.com/gambit/r … id=1622757

Don’t forget I’ve been to new orleans hundreds of times long before and after Katrina. I don’t have to ask anyone.

Howardjthomas

He did post on the wiki. He hit a terra cotta pipe.

I had the wrong one of the III. I just realized that this morning. I need to dig on the other side of the three. I totally missed the clue that was right in front of my damn face on which one it was.
Let me say this. You have to know where the original placement was of the Louis statue within the park. Louis WAS looking right at the damn spot. One of the hidden clues to the exact location is of a “perspective”. I didn’t stop to think that it was actually Louis’s perspective, not just a random one. I was looking at the III from the wrong side.
Going back out to prod today…not dig though…just prod.

Dambala

Going back out to prod today…not dig though…just prod.

Awesome! Best of luck!

JoshCornell1

louis is the starting point of the whole puzzle and the man whose to be focused on through the cdb….

Are you sure?
The starting point in Cle and Chi seemed to be a building, and it went straight to the park on the road, or a road or two over (either way, it was the perspective from the building).
Same thing seems to be possible in a few puzzles where we get a clue at the door of a building. For instance, legeater at stephen club in montreal, or the dragon at senior center in SF. Looks like we have preservation hall in NO, and city hall in MKE. Going from/right next to a building straight to a park seems to yield some interesting some possibilities.

Best of luck!

JoshCornell1

im not wrong i solved cleveland the same way practically. ask renner. i sent him the solve.

When did you make this solve?

JoshCornell1

after looking at howards post…im seriously considering breaking in…

Ok good, yeah, under all that foliage, out of the way, who could ever check there?
just one more thing, Not sure about Canada, but when archeologist check out a site here they would strip it edge to edge remove all trees, plants * ground curb to curb front to back and
Here is a picture of just after they started replanting, notice no hedges, but that was 10 years ago or so I’m sure its all grown back nice now..

JoshCornell1

you gotta use a filehosting site i think..i can never get imgs to work…

That must be why you can’t post a picture to prove you are anywhere in the U.S.
Another puzzle solved.

So basically the one place In New Orleans we absolutely know that it wasn’t
is your solution.

If you are in New Orleans and want to dig try my spot. It open at night go dig it it’s 1×2 area. Here is the details
viewtopic.php?f=32&t=7207
I did hit things with my probe I did go through something maybe a plexiglass top. Too many people to dig in the day. Must do at night.

JoshCornell1

palm is in the shadowed corner…

actually its not but I will let you research that, for someone with your skills it will be easy for you to see when it got planted…

JoshCornell1

there is a way to know if this is correct…ask palencar…hed prob remember the images he used to paint the painting…

Wow sometimes you say things that just bring out how little you know about this hunt

JoshCornell1

my fave part of this puzzle is the fact that when you are at the first location (verse start point)…you are looking right at the treasure location…so brill.

My favorite part is they archeologically excavated the entire garden edge to edge front to back and removed everything plants/stones and trees)
the documented everything that was buried in the park and restored it.
so again the one place in New Orleans we know it wasn’t is here.

Whoa. Josh is correct.
PROOF

JoshCornell1

dude im looking at it LOLLLLL

You should really really learn how to use the internet LOLLLLL
planted in 2015

JoshCornell1

yes, but you dont know how deep they dug…

Actually I do, You don’t

The author explicitly stated that casques are not in gardens or cemeteries. Enough already Josh.

JoshCornell1

Did you down load the report . The photos show how deep over 3ft

JoshCornell1

gman
learn how to read.
it says flower beds.
thats not the same…look at where it was in cleveland…a planter…

You are a genius. Good luck on your hunts.

JoshCornell1

dude im looking at it LOLLLLL

The st. Antoine palm died way back in the late 1800’s there was no palm in 1982. Old oaks and magnolia .
They restored to the way the garden was in the 1700’s hence the planting of a palm.

JoshCornell1

one of two for sure…id think. depending on what was in the location of the tree at the time…

Just to be clear here, your theory is that the University of Chicago dug up the entire area to a depth that would have certainly uncovered the casque, and instead of logging it along with all the other finds, buried in back in place?

JoshCornell1

and then its not gonna be findable…

And yet, you’ll still brag about finding a solve to a puzzle that literally hundreds have done before.

JoshCornell1

it HAS to be in the FQ… puzzle doesnt fully work that way…so i MUST be right.

JoshCornell1

if its not in the garden its in duncan plaza

So were you wrong When You said this?
Or when you said
Because Duncan Plaza is not in the French Quarter
So By my count you are 4/4 of not only not finding a casque, but not digging & Your obviously correct solutions being incorrect.

JoshCornell1

puzzle leads you to both the FQ and CBD.

What happened to your claim that you had every casque located “within a 1×1 square”? That all you had to do was run down there and dig?

JoshCornell1

both are needed to make up the 21 blocks across…and where the border lies bw them is the 15 blocks down to the ground…the ground being the coast…as new orleans is built on a swamp, and thus, is built upon constructed land.

Wow you just make shit up the quarter not CBD is on constructed land. The Quarter dates back to 1718. You think they build up land with horses.

Howardjthomas

The Quarter dates back to 1718. You think they build up land with horses.

Slowly – with outhouses.

I just talked to Josh
He is at the New Orleans bus station. actually I think he said train station
but the train tracks to Florida were destroyed in Katrina
so must be the bus station
He has lots of photos
but is not going to post them
Someone (a random dude) I overheard say “yes you are in New Orleans” in background on conversation
That was his proof
Does any one want his phone number?

Yet another excuse
but you saved so much money
you travelled on only 14.18 from Houston to New Orleans
you only paid 2.40 for a shovel
Wait
Are you using bit coin? that may explain a lot
So you can splurge on 1.75 a minute

I just spoke with Josh Cornell and his voice sounds just like the guys in the video
No way!!!

He just sent me a message. He will be here tomorrow at 3.
I’ll be free to meet him.

Go for it burnstyle, finding Josh is proving more enigmatic than finding a casque.
(I’m a believer. He’s out there…somewhere.)

JoshCornell1

and then its not gonna be findable…

Just like in Houston. Right?

JoshCornell1

just met a fellow hunter in lafayette square…he now knows the full solve all my methodological tips and extra secrets…luckily he’s not on q4t…lol

How sad… There is some poor guy in Lafayette Square who is now totally lost.
Anyway if it is in duncan square, why were you in Lafayette?

On the phone Josh told me that the casque is buried in St Anthony garden
It is even deeper buried now because Katrina left a layer of dirt when the water receeded
I told him I remember the French quarter was not under water after Katrina the main reason President Bush chose to speak there day after.
but Josh just talked to the person at the rectory and they confirmed his theory
I guess I was wrong
so we we close the books on that one
SOLVED

burnstyle

He just sent me a message. He will be here tomorrow at 3.
I’ll be free to meet him.

Let me see if I have this correct. Josh has now allegedly gone to two cities with casques armed with his “correct solutions to a 1×1 grid” only to leave both cities empty handed?
He is now heading to the third of his 10 perfect solves with nary a casque? God I can’t wait to hear his excuse for why he not only couldn’t access the S.A. casque but also couldn’t meet up with you burnstyle.

i am unfortnately not psychic (just good at solving these puzzles) so if the final markers are gone…what do you expect me to do? i have to guess…

You do what the rest of us do – provide documentary evidence. I.e photos films postcards, snapshots.., Its all out there if you arent too lazy and want people to accept your lame shortcuts.

As you can see from the article you posted that flooding did not get near St Louis Cathedral or the St Antony Garden
You said “an extra layer of dirt from Katrina
You said “I know where it is”
You said “it was in the St Anthony Garden”
We spoke for one minute to hard to remember the whole conversation
I edited out all the “dudes” for brevity sake

JoshCornell1

i am unfortnately not psychic (just good at solving these puzzles) so if the final markers are gone…what do you expect me to do? i have to guess…

Well you didn’t solve Houston
or New Orleans
In my opinion you are not psychic or good at solving puzzles
What you are good at is changing your story as often as necessary, insulting those extending an open hand, and making yourself sound like a total idiot

Again read the link you posted
The area in red is the higher elevation of New Orleans. Jackson square is 9 ft above sea level. St Louis Cathedral. 8 ft
areas effected by flooding are in white and are the lower elevations of New Orleans
but you are there. I don’t need to tell you

JoshCornell1

dude dont misquote me.
i said it is a potential explanation as to why the casque was not fond by the archaeological expedition…as in a) they didnt dig deep enough…or b) that it was possible if the garden was flooded additional sediment was deposited leaving the casque potentially deeper than 3ft.
that was all i suggested.
it very well may still be in the garden.

Dude! You don’t understand how an archaeological dig works, they don’t just arbitrarily pick a depth. They understand how to read soil. they dig everywhere until they find soil that has never been disturbed. In the garden that was (go read the documents) deeper than 3.5 feet below street level. so even if Katrina had (and it didn’t ) leave a layer of dirt above the garden, that wouldn’t have affected the dig. and If you really want I can go get the post Katrina pictures that show the garden was un-affected. You have proven beyond any doubt that the one place in NO where the casque was not hidden was that garden. Good Job!

JoshCornell1

doghouse you just proved me right and told me im wrong LMAO…jesus…

did you read the map of your link
see where it say “LOW SPOT” in the lighter shaded area to the left
French quarter was not flooded

go to the link about flooding in the French quarter

JoshCornell1

it cold be flooded but then water ran into lower areas which i think is maybe what guy on my link was suggesting? he said there was a foot of water flooding the ne corner of esplanade.

JoshCornell1

its 4 blocks se of esplanade…and a few blocks n (2)…so it WAS flooded….

Here you go –
3 days after Katrina – please note the number of cars slogging through deep mud and how difficult it is to make out all the traffic markings on the street because of all the damage…

you are right dog, it didnt flood i dont think. i misread the map cause i couldnt see the key till you posted the link. you are correct. it didnt flood there.

who are you and what have you done with Josh?

JoshCornell1

you do realize this changes nothing right? that was mere speculation, as to nderstand why casque wasnt fond by dig if it is there.

Actually it changes the word “Solution” in your claim to “idea” and not a very probable one at that.

JoshCornell1

both are needed to make up the 21 blocks across…and where the border lies bw them is the 15 blocks down to the ground…the ground being the coast…as new orleans is built on a swamp, and thus, is built upon constructed land.

I appreciate your showmanship.
Dude…we’re gonna dig this thing up tomorrow if you wanna come along.
I’ll defer the 1k….until you raise it.

JoshCornell1

…thats why im hitting the ground…

Even that is questionable. Phone doesn’t work. Bus leaving too soon. No photographic evidence. Most of all, NO CASQUE.

Josh
You’re about to owe me 1k dude.
Let me know if you want to be there.

JoshCornell1

i posted the camel from houston museum of natural history…
and i talked to dog on the phone td…

I must’ve missed you then because here is the pic I took the other day inside the same museum.

I believe that was fox saying its easy to post a picture that it is not necessarily a picture you took.
which everybody but you seems to get.

I must’ve missed you then because here is the pic I took the other day inside the same museum.

And here is the picture my wife took of me that same day at Jackson Square.

You are hallucinating again my friend. I think its time to take your medicine and turn off the computer for the night.

JoshCornell1

that being said i did not see the report cited by howard.

Here’s the link again.
http://home.uchicago.edu/~sdawdy/stanto … eport.html

JoshCornell1

the only thing they did in the whole park is surface collection…

The spots they dig deeper are where disturbed earth exist. If the earth is undisturbed there is no reason to go deeper. So unless BP tunnels under the fence as to not leave disturbed dirt or use magic then it’s not there. The whole point of the dig was to find everything manmade in the garden.
BTW the old theories leading to the garden make more sense than yours.

You had the perfect situation happen if this was the cask site. An anthropology team for 2 years dig the entire site. That small yard yield 32000 artifacts. EVERYTHING MANMADE WAS REMOVED.

I am genuinely interested in knowing how this turned out. A casque would be the ultimate, but as I’ve said many times before, empty holes are useful in their own way too.

JoshCornell1

i have solves…all you have is assumptions…

No you have theories. Just as all of us have had for 30 years.
No one can claim a solve until a casque is out of the ground.

He did post on the wiki. He hit a terra cotta pipe.

If the question is “What is 2 plus 2?” and you answer “Five,” then you have a “solve” or a solution. That doesn’t make it the correct answer.

Here you go buddy……it got away from you.

JoshCornell1

try figuring out the 1929 clue…

That was the start of the Great Depression. Like this “trip” of yours.

JoshCornell1

super tempted to jump the fence and try for’r tonight…worried about the katrina refashioning though…

Isn’t that why you’re there?? Go get it. F the live music

JoshCornell1

i could be both right and wrong….i just dont see how all the clues fit with the other location

yes most people describe that as not having solved the puzzle. I can see where you get that mixed up.

JoshCornell1

i could be both right and wrong…as in, i followed a path designed into the puzzle, but in the direction of the red herring…im still way leaning towards the FQ…i just dont see how all the clues fit with the other location

If the purpose of the puzzle is to find where the casque was buried, there is only one right answer. Any red herring (if those actually exist in these puzzles and aren’t just city, park, location, etc identifiers) is not the solution and therefore is wrong. The only way to be right is to find the spot where the casque was buried, and with any luck, still remains intact after all of these years. If your solution doesn’t get you to a spot standing on top of where the casque was buried, your solution is wrong in one or more ways.

JoshCornell1

clues can very legitimately bring you to 2 diff spots.
thats how the puzzles are designed, bar none.
Preiss was out to trick you nless you are paying very close attention to detail and racking your brain via symbolism.

My statement wasn’t a condemnation of the puzzles, it was with your claim of being right while still being wrong. Let’s say your solution takes you to one of these two different spots, but there was never a casque buried beneath you. That means you are wrong. If you want applause for correctly identifying a red herring but ultimately relying on it for your solution that doesn’t take you to the correct casque location, then congratulations on being wrong. Great job on falling for Preiss’ trap, fool. You did well on incorrectly solving the puzzle!
If you want to be congratulated on being right, either produce a casque or an indisputable solution.

Hey Josh go for a walk on the moon walk you can see the whole of JS and great place to think. you can see an awesome sunset over the river. Isn’t a sunset on the river the best.

It would seem Josh is traveling on the night greyhound bus from Houston to New Orleans
He is a braver man than me
and he is seeing America in a different perspective
God speed Josh

Don’t let mardi gras get in the way…

JoshCornell1

will prob dig first, then do a walkthrough of the puzzle.

Great! Good Luck, Did you get a new shovel?
I will keep my eye on all the Live New Orleans webCams for you
What color is your shirt? No matter I will just look for the shovel. If you don’t have it yet, there is a home depot accross the freeway from the bus station
or if you just start walking toward the french quarter, there is mary’s ace hardware right accross from congo square
Don’t get arrested! (it would look bad for the rest of us)

Thanks in advance.

Or he walked to the wrong area of NOLA. Louie Armstrong park is still a rough area. A Canadian in the hood at night not a good mix.

i cant receive texts apparently…
i tried calling doghouse a couple times.
im using my laptop when i can pick up wifi…
yesterday i was sitting outside the houston natural history museum….rn im at my hostel.
tired prob gonna nap. and catch some live music tn.

I am continually baffled that you give up so easily. You have a whole day ahead of you still. Live music tonight? When you could be undercover digging.

Surely you have a camera joshie…would be over the top ridiculous if you did not bring one to document. I’m callin the hostel

Seems to me, a few phone calls to establishments near your suspected casque locations would have been cheaper and easier than traveling to each site, only to find out things have changed in 36 years.

i cant access spot to even check today…im certain im right. well, unless noone was ever allowed in there…also…spot i think it is i just learned was completely redesigned after katrina fucked up all the trees…im going to find out for certain…whether final marking point was the same as in 1981…and to see whether Preiss wouldve had access to it back then…cause, if he didnt…it will be led to via the alternate route designed into the puzzle.
i did the same thing in milwaukee…lol…so it wouldnt be the first time, however…this one led me right to an actual final location, specifically.

That is WHY it is helpful to work with ppl on these boards who actually live in and know the city in which you are attempting a dig, and to not proclaim you just know it all down to the exact 1×1 and to, in a way, condascend others….googlemaps.ca is only so useful. You can’t just blindly walk into someone else’s city thinking you know the lay of the land and how things existed against how they exist today.

JoshCornell1

the puzzle doesnt fully work that way…so i MUST be right.

Well, up to this point you haven’t really demonstrated you grasp the way the “Puzzle” actually works. So “MUST” seems a little strong…

Josh
Tell us what your solution is like yo did for Houston
since you are there
I still don’t understand what you think the second on the clock means

karleen

so how is he posting on this site?

It a joke. He probably still at his house. US and Canada have the same power plugs.

If this is all really happening, enjoy it to the fullest. It will be a great trip regardless of the outcome. Take in the culture!
If I had the time to travel to all of these cities over a few weeks time, I would jump at the chance. It would be an absolute blast.

I know, that’s why I want to believe it’s a hoax; just too much fun.

JoshCornell1

im dropping brand new f*cking clues on you lol…get outta here…you can look for it at the 2nd spot if you dont think im right. i wont know till tm if area was accessible when Preiss was there.

I can help I’m from Louisiana and been to NOLA hundreds of times. What area is block off. Did you walk on the moonwalk, its a nice view right.

JoshCornell1

i will tell you that it combines with the namesake clue, and potentially previous clue…but i dont know/understand how you would get to a specific spot there…plus the verse seems to direct you to the FQ, im thinking…

Just being clear the solution for New Orleans, does not lead to and the casque is not buried at St Antoine’s (Anthony’s) Garden.
Besides all the excavation proving it is not there.
Byron’s rules state, The following places do
not
hold any treasure:
snip
(b) any cemetary
(c) any public or private flower bed
snip
the garden is both.
