Mount Royal park did look interesting in a few different ways for sure. There is a building in view from some certain monuments in that park that have the exact same step pattern to their buildings as the Trafalgar girls school. That park fit in many ways with verse 11? I think it is. The verse with the mitchell building and step counts etc.

I am 100% sure it is on Île Sainte-Hélène and 99% sure I have the exact spot.
I've contacted authorities for dig permission. They told me they were moving the request up the chain but I haven't got an answer. It has been a long time so I'll have to contact them again next week. Maybe they forgot about it.

Most of the images have the latitude and longitude co-ordinates, but for some reason people became so obsessed with the leg-eater they gave up on looking for them in Image 9. I believe I have located them, as subtle as they are. If you look closely near the left ear you will see “45” and if you look closely near the right ear you will see an upside down “73”. Montreal is located at 45 N and 73 W, so that about clinches it for me! There is another “73” in the hair near the left ear, some say a “45” as well, but the “4” is tough to tell for sure.
Byron said there was one buried in Canada so not sure why people guess St. Louis or Philadelphia? I was more open to Quebec City, but having driven there a couple times it’s not exactly easy to get to and the lat/long co-ordinates don’t match. I believe it’s been said that Byron drove to Canada. If you look at a map you will see that I87 goes from NYC to the border just south of Montreal, so logic dictates that Byron buried the Canadian casque in Montreal.

The Drummond Street stuff is interesting Choice, I’ll give you that. Any idea how many stairs are there? Can you make Verse 2 work with Milwaukee? If so, then I’m open to Verse 8 with Montreal. As things stand at the moment I like Verse 2 with Montreal and Dorchester Square as the treasure ground. Notice the opal is in the centre of a cross pattern on the image? The monuments in Dorchester Square used to be arranged in such a pattern back when the casque was buried. The Boer War Memorial occupies the centre of the cross and is one of the only “Dutch” related landmarks I’m aware of in Montreal (even then loosely via South Africa). The Boer War Memorial and the Lion of Belfort can both be considered “namesakes” of more famous monuments of the same names so they have that going for them. The Montreal versions were sculpted by George William Hill. Check out the bangs over the left eye in Image 9, sure looks like “Hill” to me.

Not a clue about the stairs. The link I posted is the only useful image I came across and only 30 or so steps visible.

Some pretty exciting information posted on 12keys Reddit page today by user “astrue” aka T.W. Brownell regarding the Montreal casque. They centre around the McGill campus and the matches are pretty compelling! It’s like seeing the fence and fixture in Chicago, the matches are that good. Many of the clues are very literal, much like they have been for the found casques. Will be interesting to see if the casque is 12 paces off the west side, but otherwise would be a great spot to run a gpr and see what it picks up. Might have a decent shot at this one yet!

Not even close,, wingless means no wings... Spacecraft in US Pavilion = wingless bird ascended..

Not all SECRET clues are physically current in time to cask burial.. many are historic locations/landmarks.

In the litany of the jewels the opal is described as a cloud of shining, shifting smoke. If you look at the Union Jack image you will see the 3 “S” coming off the tea cup. The Canadian flag on the cup was already a big hint, but this solidifies that this image will contain Montreal clues. The biscuit and the pocket square are oddly shaped and interesting, as are the weird tufts near the ears and eyebrows. Find a match for one of those and you’ll likely be near the casque.

Couple other possible hints in the Union Jack image. The name itself could be a hint. There were 2 flags at the unveiling of “The Three Bares” statue in 1931, the American flag and the Union Jack. The flags actually made a curtain, behind which was the statue waiting to be unveiled. Another thing that caught my eye was the tiny bowler style hat worn by Union Jack, it resembles the symbol on the speed bump sign just south of “The Three Bares”. My take for why it’s 12 paces In the verse is one for each of the 10 provinces and 2 territories in the early 1980s ( we have since seen the creation of Nunavut as a 3rd territory to make it now 13). On the flip side Newfoundland wasn’t a province when “The Three Bares” was unveiled (didn’t join Canada until 1949), so the 12 fits the status of Canada specifically at the time the casque was buried.
Really like the theory that the casque is buried on the McGill campus, plenty of good image and verse matches.

Are you using two verses for I9? The three bares go nicely with V2, then 12 paces with V5. Vanderbilt for Dutch connection.

While I have looked at Verse 2 in the past for another part of Montreal, in this case was looking to stick with Verse 5. Yes, if you like “The Three Bares” then Vanderbilt Whitney becomes the needed Dutch connection was my thought as well. The question then becomes has anyone bothered to check the area 12 paces from the west side of this sculpture? It’s as good a place as any to look for the casque IMHO.

I posted a link here 2 posts ago. I think he looked at that area.
