At stone wall’s door
There is a Jackson Square in Boston that is fenced in and above street level surrounded by a stone wall

Sorry—I cannot find any photos of this, or what it is you’re talking about. I know there is a Jackson Square in Boston, in Jamaica Plain—it’s one of the city’s poorest and most underdeveloped neighborhoods. It’s the Latino sector of town. But all the pics I’ve seen show sidewalks, buildings, streetcorners–no stone wall.
can you be more specific (street names,etc.)?

Shecrab,
This is the address I come up with.
322 Centre Street  Jamaica Plain, MA
If you look at it in Street-view on Google map,
you see a short stone block edging around part of the park
(behind a chain link fence.)

It sure is hard to forget:

“Eighteenth day
Twelfth hour
Lit by lamplight
In truth, be free.”
from V3 when thinking about a Boston casque though…

Sorry—-I still don’t see an area enclosed by a stone wall. I see Centre–I can see #322–I can see the chain link fence. I cannot see any stone walls. If there IS one, it’s likely a very small, or short one. And more importantly, I see absolutely NO place a casque could be buried.
I don’t think this area qualifies as a likely spot.

Shecrab,
The only stone wall I see here is the short retaining wall surrounding the park.
It appears that there is construction going on here…hence, the chain link fence.

Wait, which spot are you talking about?
If you have indicated a casque location, I have missed it.

Sorry, I’ve been lazy.  Here’s what I have constructed in my mental perspective.  It draws greatly from this old photo which highlights the pole and L-marker.  Below I’ve combined some aerials (no rotation, all top/north) to show how a line pointing in the direction of Alcatraz from the Legion of Honor parking lot compares to the line drawn from the pole through the L-marker.  It’s not exact as I had hoped, but then I’m just estimating.  I think it’s pretty clear that the direction of both lines is northeast.  What I think matters most is figuring out that the spot to dig (red triangle) is just over the balustrade at a place which lines up the pole and L-marker exactly.  Take a look,
The table stand looks very similar to the balustrade, but isn’t exact.  The little variation could be a major game changer or just a trick of the artist.  Either way, I’m thinking the alignment of the two markers, flag pole and Lincoln marker makes for a simple approach if just climbing around to the dirt side of the wall is what is meant by giant step and then the baluster shape of the table lamp is similar in function to the Chicago fence and Cleveland wall sketches.

I replied thoroughly on the other thread where you wrote to me, so I won’t make the same rookie mistake of posting everywhere.
And no, no trolling intended…

Hi guys, I hope this could be of help: possible epiphany for verse 7

Three different threads now as I am going through the latest posts. Same stuff. Maybe you are trolling??

That totem pole has come up before, though I can’t find the discussion now. Maybe it was on

. Don’t know much about it, but it always seemed an interesting possible line of enquiry.
