Hard to keep up with all your theories but in this theory the dig sites should be next to: A cemetery, in a flower bed (with no flowers), next to a life threatening location i.e. by railroad tracks, by a highway embankment by a contaminated place. So one should rule out all the other parks/locations that don't meet these requirements? Because if you include other locations beside the mentioned ones then what's the point of the clues?

Well let’s see Flower bed, Cleveland, NYC, Montreal ( Quebec City for me), possibly NOLA as well by my theory. Roanoke , Your St. Augustine site Contaminants, Boston, Milwaukee (by a sewer pipe for me), Milwaukee might also be a fit for dangerous embankment Active train tracks, Chicago, Houston Cemetery, St. Augustine, NOLA, Boston ( Copps hill cemetery) Dangerous highway embankment, For San Francisco, the California coastal highway might be considered a more dangerous highway than most or is it just a road embankment like the dig area I propose in GG park that is by an embankment by the road. I believe Cleveland was by an embankment ( by the side on top of a hill by MLK Dr.), and last but not least Roanoke the dig site by the Albert Quentin Bell plaque is on the edge of a embankment ( theatre seating area). Chicago by the railway embankment. Some might consider Boston below an embankment Copps hill. Your NYC theory is below an embankment. My Quebec City theory is below an embankment. My NYC theory is below an embankment.My NOLA theory is by an embankment. Houston below an embankment ( Miller theatre hill) So is St.Augustine, ( sea wall).I think all are.
A sea wall is an embankment. Anything that holds back dirt or water is an embankment. Maybe each dig site has to meet two criteria like flower bed and embankment, or active railway and embankment. Cemetery and flower bed etc. Now Charleston is a wild card for this theory, unless one considers the proximity to the road and the sea wall. Some who think the casque is in the Zoo in Houston might consider some of the animals life threatening
The point of the clues is to confirm your dig site . Does the baseball field in Roanoke fit any of those exclusions?

Well , at least there is a cemetery close by . Just doesn’t fit my theory that the park system connects to the water . Maybe it did 40 years ago maybe not. Still thinks it’s in the Waterside theatre, way too many clues pointing to that spot to ignore it. Anyways ,it’s all theory.

Speaking of cemeteries, it's fun time! Image 3 arch is similar to a mausoleum; You see the inscription "sic itur ad astra" often on them meaning "thus one goes to the stars". In the painting there are 14 arch stones, number of letters in "sic itur ad astra". Similar to SELOY, RIP is in the verse 11 (upside down).

How about we add the next letter down, the “ T” and make it a “ TRIP”, also known as a voyage or journey. Maybe it’s a TRIP with a RIP.

OR……… It’s an anagram of sorts PASS 2 friends of Octave = PAST THE WRIGHTS BROTHERS MEMORIAL In De - camber - IN THE CIRCLE Ride the man of oz Ri-de (read) the Mano (hand) Foz (river mouth) = READ THE HAND - MOUTH OF RIVERS (Sounds) Get it? The hands are likened to mouths of rivers.
The so called verses have both a literal and ciphered meaning.

It may be, “Mano” by definition can be conflict between two people.” Foz “ was also a coastal village that went from fishing to tourism. . Might be a different way to look at it but still gets you to the same place. I think, might still be too complicated for most teenagers .

Teenagers? Seems like these riddles have befuddled everyone for 40 years. As a beginner to this riddle and considering the failure of method to date. I thought it necessary to discount most assumptions. Like the search being limited to Roanoke island. The knight is a map of the entire colony of Virginia. The hands are the sounds on both ends. The helmet is the point at Hatteras. The supposed bracing under the arms is symbolic of the Oregon Inlet bridge. Left side is north of bridge. Right is south. Knobby point on wrist to the left is Currituck Lighthouse. The knobby thing is a WW2 naval mine. (They are known to wash ashore there). The hand on that side. (Right hand, left side of painting) is the Whalehead club property next to Currituck light. OR PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS THE “KNIGHTS” HOUSE. Note the “D” shaped pond that is in front of the house. It is also past the Wright memorial. Soooo…… After you get your maps on Roanoke go back around and past the memorial to the Knights House to find more clues. Decipher - “By dauntless and unconquerable determination“ and you will know where to go next

Man of Oz, the character in Wiz of Oz with man in it's name is Tinman. I know, painting's name is Medieval Scarecrow. Could simply be a clue to CRO, Roanoke Island. Some have dove into the 'theater' rabbit hole because of the CRO. Clock, ropes and joints imply movement. So perhaps clockwork Tinman? “By dauntless and unconquerable determination“; airport. George Daniels was a famous English watch maker. George Daniels RD, Driftwood DR and Manteo Airport all in the same area. Below is image of a scared crow with a baseball ball coming at it!

Back in 1982 BP was probably targeting the teenage market with this book. The thing now is those teenagers are all grown up and still looking for a casque. GLTA All theories are valid until someone digs a casque up. If it makes logical sense then even better still. BTW…. the Waterside theatre rabbit hole is where the rabbit has the casque…. ask White Rabbit ( Q4T ).

How long White rabbit has been at this 20+ years?

I don’t know anything about White Rabbit other than we both independently came to the same conclusion for the dig spot in the Waterside theatre. Maybe others did as well and didn’t post anything , I don’t know. What clues led him there I don’t know. Until someone probes and digs the area then it’s just theory. For me it fits perfectly and logically, for others not. So be it.
How many years did it take Jason Krupat to get to the Boston dig spot? He read numerous posts , made logical assumptions from the ideas posted , added it all up and the rest is history. Did he get all the clues correct, No , ( some were missing), but he got enough to get to the dig spot.

Guys, here was an idea I had.
I can understand how some people believe the puzzle leads them to the Croatoan tree and then they look north at the large Wright Brothers Monument. BUT. I think it's possibly another much smaller monument known as The Wright Brothers Garage Monument. Why? 1. It's almost straight north. (Much more due north than the big monument.) 2. The garage monument prominently features a wing. 3. The "goal" is on the monument which says "conquest of the air".
The monument is on Moor Shore Road in Kitty Hawk.
It doesn't hurt that a road named Beacon (path beckons) takes you straight to Moor Shore Road. Also doesn't hurt that a "Shore" has mica and driftwood.
The monument sits on private property. I was able to contact the owners of the house. She had already been contacted by others and also suspected that it was buried there. BUT...the current monument is a replacement from the mid 80s and DOES NOT sit in the original spot. It was moved when the road was updated.
She said she has had some gpr work done but no luck.
I believe she prefers to be left alone concerning the hunt.
Thanks!

Krupat had suspicion about the spot just recently and lucky him there was a cooperative construction crew. His solution wasn't public till 2018 just before discovery. Wabbit's solve been around for decades. There are a lot of fanatics that go around and dig other's solutions. I'm sure that area has been inspected and possibly probed or dug if possible to get away with.
