I solved the 13th casque location to a single planter. This is definitely the location, the poem and painting combine to lead precisely here, there is at least 20 images from the painting in the immediate area, and it is literally spelled out. I have been there twice, once two weeks ago and once last week, the first time my old shovel broke its wooden shaft and I could not purchase another before dark, and the second time armed with a new steel shaft shovel I dug where I believe is the best solution of the remaining line in the poem and three images from the painting. I tried one other spot as a reinterpretation. Digging to 3 feet+ is very time consuming especially on your own. It is somewhere there, please reply if you want to know. I am moving much further away soon, I may not be able to go back in the near future, so I might want to share the results.

Well...I do. And, this is the place for proposed solutions.

...and it is literally spelled out.... I am more curious about how anything is spelled out than where it leads. Are you using the verse as a cipher of some kind or pulling out letters by some mechanism? You don't need to go into specifics, if you don't want to. I anticipate the real solution being made up of many different components, so no single element of either painting or verse should "confirm" any solution. |

To find the solution, most of the lines of the poem are used, and all of the images (there are many subtle images that are more apparent once you know the spot). And yes, a couple of words are literally spelled out as confirmation, no ciphers needed. Sorry about being vague for now, but I know once I post the exact spot, many will go, someone will inevitably locate it soon after, and I may/will get no credit for the work to locate it. It is certainly not simple. Perhaps someone will consider a team effort for this?

Do not waste time trying to find the words. Just to be clear, I found the location using the images and poems. There are three words that confirm both the city and location. I found them after solving everything, certainly not before. Look as you wish, but you will definitely not find them unless you know exactly what you are looking for. But nonetheless they are there for all to see.
It seems that there have been many views here but very few replies, I will take this as that most everyone is in it for themselves, and will not consider sharing credit. Fair enough if that is the case.

Well......I am going to give it a try - taking my old trusty guitar, my son (and my dog of course) and hitting the trail, once the snow melts. Home God is leading me in the right direction once I park my truck. Prob gonna just look to the noth and follow the star. You think I will be far off? Ha - I can be a bit dense once and a while.

Well by God - if it ain't at the ole trailhead that I planned to go to, then I'm gonna pack it up, take my trusty ole Red Ryder BB gun and go shoot some meadowlarks on a ranch somewhere. Hope they got an old rusty basin or something that I can clean my birds off in. Bare wth me as I clean the dust out of my eyes. Doesn't sound like I need that old guitar (has my name on it) or my son. You might just have liked that spot!

A little more detail about the solution. After solving the poem lines and images to a single location and confirming it in words, I traveled to the location to find images galore there. Without giving too much detail, the planter is next to and/or behind multiple images of the painting. The planter has on its left end an overhanging branch with wires resting on the branch (as in the dangling tourmaline) and on its right end a dangling pulley (also in the painting). The remaining line of the poem seems to point directly at the left end of the planter where the overhanging wire is. Being that the painting indicates this image with the tourmaline dangling behind other images, I dug 3+ feet deep and for four feet around. I still cannot think of any other satisfactory final poem line/image solution that uses all images (specifically the wire dangling the tourmaline from the branch) knowing the layout of the location. There is no other place with the dangling wires anywhere else there, and the remaining line from the poem does not seem to point elsewhere there. I tried a less satisfactory reinterpretation while I was there as well just in case. I took photographs of all the images in the area, but I do not want to release them just yet because most of them give an exact location (signs, names, etc.), and others give a general location (building types, tree types, etc.).
Just to state it again, EVERY image in the painting was used, yes even the rounded back right corner of the chair seat. Way too much to be a coincidence. This is absolutely the place.
While I was there, a local came up to talk, ask what I was digging for, and whether it was for a dog. He then mentioned that someone was digging in the same planter last year to bury their dog. My first thought was "Oh no, the person may have inadvertently dug it up" then it was "he may have seen the person originally bury it", but it may have just been a weird coincidence, not sure.
Does anyone know if there is an email to contact the creator(s)in case my original exact solution was right? I know they do not want a written solution, but I may go back there if they can confirm I had the right digging spot.

Not sure I can help you here but thot the creator(s) moved to either Poland or Burma. Is there something big going on outside the city limits up on the hill? I know it is somewhere out there. I think the event is scheduled on a Friday sometime in the next month or so. We should probably call in the cavalry to help with this damn search! |

Now after having given it a second thought - letting my mind and everything else go free; I have decided to can this search for awhile. Maybe a good ole funny movie might help clear the air. Until next time - y'll watch your backsides, keep your solves quiet, and don't forget to carry a can of green paint.

I am intrigued WesternDreamer. It's exciting to be excited. Are you willing to share if your ideas lead West, East, North or South?

Hey I’m late to the game but after being thrilled I thought I had narrowed down everything I then go to post my solution only to see your threads are basically the exact same as what aid written mine to be so it seems we have the same logic but you even had details I missed and I’m deeply impressed. I’m planning to go there BOTG since I live close. I have my own dig sites I wanted to hit but if you want me to prod any for you then I’ll certainly help. And if it’s your spot then I’ll guarantee to not take your credit. I’m happy to just be involved. Maybe you’re long gone but in case you aren’t let me know if interested
