How exciting to be moving the 12th Plate Treasure Hunt to the Solved Board! As was announced earlier today, via an Email from the hunt's creator, the Gold Coin has been found and details on solution will be forthcoming! Where are the solved boards? That would be interesting to look over, past solves on hunts.

Jenny, the owner of this site is starting some hunts. Not sure the details but she has a very good reputation in the community.
I have heard a NC company is going to start hunts in the area. I will post when I get more info.
Personally, I would stay away from breakfast tea and bourbon or fenn search hunt. For different reasons.
Map of the dead seems like a good one. But it is a book so many ways to go.

I think the oxo might refer to naught and crosses. Which naught is defined as a cypher (code reference from the scroll). I have more on this but interested if anyone else has gone this direction and see the possible codes that cypher would break in the scroll.

For me it depends on the solution. Of course that won't come out until the end so do I work on it or not? Well, you could look over the video promised at book purchase of him hiding the treasure wait...... that was not provided. Maybe you can begin buying the various products to ensure Pete makes a profit. In the one video he has said he edited his other products to create hints outside of the book, get your credit card ready. Maybe you can do what Pete suggests and get more people you know involved to buy his book and products so it lessens your chances but increases his revenue. He actually said this in the video. Maybe you can try to get OFF the spam list, like I did and the spam continues to come. I have emailed customer service as well as Pete himself. I am now even getting mailers. I got involved due to your very cool vblog (though don't blame you at all!) but I do think you should find some new hunts, do a vblog and that will get you even more of a following as your vblog was the only cool part of this hunt.

Simple. Once this and a few other things came to light, I have a book only. No hunt exists. Not worth it. It is a good lesson for me to examine the hunt before I jump in. I dont think outrageous,, just "buyer beware", I got duped. Shame on me.
But I respect others if they want to continue but seriously don't get it.

I agree with you in the air symbol, but what does it mean in relation to a clue? Up in the air? As in up in the trees? kpro, squirejames88 gave us the solve for this back in May. western - urn cab air us = west cabairus = west cabarrus My apologies. I missed that. Thank you!

I agree 100% the 5 sided figure is the playground. I just stated that one wrong.One more note. The clue about the "when there are four of something..." it stated elements as one of the possibilities. This is what led me to find the air symbol that I believe is the air symbol in the word picture puzzle. I am thinking this is what this clue was sent for. You can decide for yourself. As for me, I am not spending any more time on that clue. I agree with you in the air symbol, but what does it mean in relation to a clue? Up in the air? As in up in the trees?

Great summary,
I would like to add a few things:
Solved: I don't agree about the word picture being solved. It is not as clean of a solve as the others are. I think it means walk west, turn, on cab, but not sure about the air symbol. But I may be wrong!
I would add the five sided figure is the playground.
I think the three circles is the building (someone posted a picture of it).
Also, flow doesn't fit perfectly , another hint to go west.
I think the four of something is tesselation. Which I took a picture of at PEP. But code is very clever, good find!
Add to Not solved: Diamond not so rough Backwards c
And should we discuss the secret clue?
I agree on collaboration has brought things forward.
I want to throw out a potential rabbit hole. If you go one block east of the square on google earth, there is a picture inserted that says "NS & CSX Diamond in Raleigh" . Check it out and let me know what you think!
Another rabbit hole: the three horseman was an exhibit at the visual art exchange. This one is a true rabbit hole I think.
I think plum and the numbers are key. I hope the next clue helps us with that.

I searched that park high and low and had 3 others with me and a dog. Tons of features but nothing unusual and nothing is obvious. I personally think its there. I agree with James . Super cool even if it doesn't end up being the case.

It may be an abbreviation of Plumb or Plumbum. Plumbum is the Latin word for lead (Pb). Atomic number 82. Something that is plumb means it is vertical. It also is used to say something is “trued up” or perpendicular to the ground. Down below ~ vertical (?) Do you have a reference, very interesting!

Eng - this is only my opinion.
The clues so far have been straight forward. He has said there are no red herrings.
I believe him.
I doubt other searches and don't want to elaborate but am a skeptic in most hunts. This organizer thus far seems to put obvious hints out but only when they are solved.
He seems legit to me. Also Jenny seems to know him since she knows he is legit. I respect Jenny as another factor.
I hate to say you are spot on, pep may be one step. The one last issue I don't like is that last year's hunt did not have a solve. That may happen this year not to fault searchers just not possible.
I really this hunt I am a part of here, and hints will become more obvious to make it a foot race towards the end. This one may go without a winner. But the organizer has already said hints will continue sooner than later this month so he seems genuine . IMO of course.
I have tried a few other areas outside of PEP though keep going back there. Maybe we can continue to take it beyond the individuals.
I think this hunt is unique as it is taking it to collaboration. Which is cool.

I would think delayering is important. You can't really see the pictures in the upper right, can't really see the stains of the building in treasure awaits and those seem important. I think it is important but no idea how! Lol! I figured out the stains without delayering. How did you do it? It might help me look differently at this page.
