I thought this was interesting for the JFK tie in to the location ( St. Augustine), as well Herman park ( Houston), is right beside Rice University where JFK gave his famous speech about going to the moon.

Dicey, I agree with you that your red circle is the dig grounds and spot. IMO "At the base of a tall tree" does not necessarily mean under a tree. Split that into two parts; "At the base of" and "a tall tree" At the base of could mean in the grounds of i.e. base of operation. It also could mean base of something i.e. statue. A tall tree could have a different meaning. For this we have a clue in the image. The tree by water has no reflection so that makes me focus more on it. Perhaps the tree fronds are hiding something like a tall cross. Look how artificially straight the tree trunk is. Back to your red circle, the shape of it looks like an old mission. Also 24 within. 24th letter of alphabet?

I’m glad to see you poke my theory. Let me add this to it. I will focus on the so called island and tree . First off we are going to have to assume that the tree in the painting is a coconut palm tree, it matches the closest in appearance. There are many other varieties of palm trees out there and it might just be a symbolic representation of a palm tree. The coconut palm tree is tolerant to salty water so that is a good hint to look for something by the ocean shore. Looking closer at the tree there are 12 palm fronds. Is this a representation of a clock face? I don’t really know why a clock/ time are in the paintings other than the possibility of casting a shadow or maybe an significant event occurred at that time. Is there an image of a fly in the fronds?, seems like GW was swatting flies in his last video , might be nothing. I think that the reason why there is no reflection cast by the tree in the painting is that it is not that close to the waters edge Now let’s look at the so called island. There are a few possibilities here. 1: It’s an island or representation of one 2: It’s a section of land having that outline shape 3: It’s the bow of a ship protruding out of the water 4: It’s a rock ( close to water) 5 It’s a flower ( when you combine the two halves) 6: It’s an Oyster shell ( when you combine the two halves) Now this is what I think . I believe what this section of painting shows us is a Coconut palm located on a corner section of land that has that shape and at the base of the tree you will find oyster shells. I think he is showing you with the reflection that it is by water but the fact that the shell is bisected by the horizon line it’s in fact a half shell. The reason behind this is the fact that you would find oyster half shells at a place where you lived and dined on them ( oyster midden). FOY park would be that location.

Some good observations D. Checkout the rock by the tree. Do you see a writing on it? Two S's on top?

I’m a bit of a skeptic when it comes to letters and numbers in the painting. Certainly some do give you clues to the location , but which ones exactly ? I can show you all the numbers and every letter in the alphabet in each and every painting, just depends on how one sees it and how much image distortion one accepts . At one point I was thinking that the image( outline) of a foot points to the location , but again are we trying to see this just to make it fit our theory? Remember to not over complicate the puzzle. Byron was worried that it could be solved quickly and the book would flop. I was thinking of the NYC verse and the section where it says “ look down and see simple roots in rhapsodic man’s soil”. Now why would he say simple roots? Birth place? but if he says gaze north toward the Isle of B then looking down is to look South to see Brooklyn . Battery park makes sense. Look south and you see Brooklyn. Also one can interpret those lines to mean simple roots are in Brooklyn or NYC in general. Another possibility would be the John V. Lindsay East river park if one is thinking of a baseball park theory. There are a lot of bicycle rental places there which could tie in to the whirring sound in the summer. Isle of B could be Belmont island.

Actually that 3rd foot could be a clue to the dig spot i.e. 3 steps. The other 2 feet represent (IMO) the feet of the bridge; the curved leg. Follow where the rein falls!
As to simple roots, it could simply be a simple square root of 4. Look up Isaiah 2 4 united nations.

Well, it’s anyones guess. Until someone probes and digs those exact locations or those still in the know ,honour the initial rules of the hunt that allows for mail in solutions ,we may never know.

I think Choice is right about the stone image being Father Francisco. Fits in perfectly with my potential dig spot.

You may say that confirmer for father Lopez Grajales is his last name. Grajales means from crows.

I’m going to try to make more connections here. If you look at the gem location in the painting, the gem represents the bird ( parrot ?) eye … vision , you can see with your eye. Could be a religious vision. Now when you superimpose that image of Father Francisco onto the painting ,then the jewel location ( anatomically speaking) ,is on the temple of Father Francisco. The Temple being the Marian Servants of the Blessed Sacrament church. Which again can be seen from my proposed dig site. Is the Jewel a representation of a “Chi Rho” as “Choice “eluded to ? It may very well be since that symbol has ties into Christianity, ( the church). So is the jewel buried by a sacred site, by a temple, by the burial grounds in FOY park? Maybe the dig spot that I propose holds no bones. Now lets look a bit further…. The central point in the painting and the proposed dig spot . From my previous posts above , you know where I think the dig location is represented on the painting…. The central point. Now again if one superimposed the two images then that point falls relatively close to the “Adams Apple” of Father Francisco. Adam’s apple …. The fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. By THE TREE. In this case , the coconut palm.

A few points: This is a recent picture. Imagine the padre standing there with his praying arm. If you lineup the praying hand with the cross as if he's holding the pole then the spot you'd be standing, your view of the cross may be blocked by that old palm tree's fronds behind the base. It's obviously taller now. This corresponds with the tree in the image hiding the cross. That foot pointer by the pole, similar to the foot by the homeplate in Boston may be the spot. There were planters by the base so I doubt any bones will be there. More importantly the giant arm/hand skeleton in the image holding the 3 stepped base with thumb with 24 (X) as nail. More detail on Q4T. quest4treasure.co.uk/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=759&start=1115

I do like the skeletal arm/ hand and the fact the the terminal ( end point) of the phalange of the thumb lands on the dig site. The end. Back in the day the thumb was used for hitchhiking ( looking for a ride).Going my way? The problem with the dig site being in that area you suggest is many . Green picket fence ( especially when one existed in FOY park). Too much extrapolation to make it fit your location Years pass, rain falls ( Yearly Park Pass. The fountain) Seloy site (FOY park only) Bending branches behind you , The street by the park is lined with those bendytrees The honking sound , the ducks/ geese in the park Near men with Wind Rose , wind Rose is supposed to be a chart ( I think there is one in the FOY park museum ?) In the painting the shape of the land/ island that is by the palm tree that pertains to the dig site. Where is it in your dig site? Are you calling the parrot a crow? It’s hardly a crow ,but then again it’s JJP art Stars move by day ( planetarium) Tall grass (waters edge?) The first chapter written in water , that section of the verse alone sounds a lot like the fountain of youth park and Ponce de Leon I doubt BP would have put all those references to the park expecting one to go out of the park to look for a casque
This might be the one puzzle that’s verse heavy Too many FOY inferences to not be there. The skeletal arm/ hand could apply to either location .Graveyard Anyways you mentioned on Q4T ,your party explored your proposed dig site and were unsuccessful I still think back in the day FOY park would be an ideal clandestine location to bury a casque.
Choice, I was thinking more about your NYC theory and the possibility that line gaze north toward the “isle of B” could possibly refer to the Bhutan consulate , a country within a country , an island unto itself north side of that planter.

Bhutan, could be. Image is dragon heavy AND 4 gems. As to site exploration being unsuccessful, our BOTG person did not probe because of his religious objection. Hardly unsuccessful. I have objection digging in a ball park. Wouldn't make it unsuccessful. This verse is red herring/misdirection heavy. Obvious 1st chapter would be FOY. But think of St Augustine and 1st European settlement. 1st settlement, beginning, genesis, 1st chapter/book of bible. Key words in the verse: 1st, water, darkness, light and others. Years pass you get old, rain falls... water. Street names Old Mission and Water St.

But you stated in Q4T, your BOTG person couldn’t probe because of compacted dirt. So how would he know how compacted it was unless he probed, at least once? Yes there was a moral dilemma. Your proposed dig site is not exactly a park ( Church property?), even though the public can stroll about the place. Sorry, for me still too much verse extrapolation (bacon),to make it fit the site, good luck anyways .Keep it Simple!
Where is the triangular shaped piece of land?
