It is believed by most that Image 3 matches with Verse 11 leading to Roanoke Island

Personally I feel the verse starts at the Wright Brothers National Memorial, heads to Roanoke Island, and then returns to the Wright Brothers National Memorial. For those who like Roanoke Island as the final stop, how do you rectify that the last few lines of the verse are carved into the Wright Brothers National Memorial? Logic and many visual clues in the book dictate that the casque is at the WBNM. Dustin and Deidre White feel it's at WBNM as well, so they've obviously come to some of the same conclusions.
Steve Norris figured out that the dimples on the image represented 852, which is the distance the 4th (and furthest) Wright Brothers flight traveled. I then found that the number 59 is on the belt, this is the number of seconds the 4th flight lasted. I also found that the number 98 is located on the red “plumage”, which happens to be the weight of the Wright Brothers glider in pounds. I also came to the conclusion that the "Stylus Devil" was painted into Image 3 (minus the horns and tail), as it didn't match any known statues or artwork for the Outer Banks area. This realization was what convinced me that there is a 3rd element to the puzzles, a "fair folk" match (maybe 2-3 in some cases) to go along with image and verse. If you look at the wings, tail and legs in the "Stylus Devil" image you will see they spell out "W.W.O.W." aka Wilbur Wright and Orville Wright. The name Stylus Devil is a clever nod to Kill Devil Hills, site of the WBNM. Also notice the 1:00 in the image? If you look at all 4 flight markers at WBNM you will notice that the 4th one is off to the right (east) in the 1:00 position relative to the others, that's no coincidence. That's just the tip of the iceberg...there is a lot more evidence for WBNM.
I do have a final dig spot for this casque, my biggest worry is that the National Park Service is very unlikely to allow anyone to dig. It sounds as if the Expedition Unknown folks weren't allowed to dig in this area (not sure if its because they didn't have a final dig spot)? As I told George (Burnside), if someone is able to get the necessary permissions to dig for this casque then I'd be willing to divulge more. As it is I don't want someone committing a felony to retrieve the casque. I wonder if we could at least convince NPS to GPR the site and perhaps dig when the casque showed up as an anomaly? I understand some of the NPS sites on Roanoke Island were trashed by diggers during the government shutdown, you would think it would be in their best interest to retrieve the casque and prevent further digging?

I don't think that it is at the Wright Brothers Memorial or at the Elizabethan Gardens. Remember, it cannot be in a place where you are not allowed to dig. I've been looking very intently at the image and I could swear that in the right arm of the armor, there are letters that may spell Roanoke. Also, the author was very concerned with immigrants to certain areas. Freedman's Colony was on Roanoke Island. It was part of the underground railroad. The one in the image is to denote the month of the gem. Just throwing stuff out.

The spoon with the round object likely represents an Egg and Spoon Race, which is a game of British origin. They hold them in the Roanoke Island/Outer Banks area, the Elizabethan Gardens and Kill Devil Hills are among the places they are held.

That's the tiniest and roundest egg! This has a resemblance to an old leather flyer's helmet. Or a renaissance fair jouster's helmet.

choice, thanks for the image post. been having some fun with this one. added a bit of blur. now what do you see? also the arch blocks to the right. blur creates edges and differentiation in shading is emphasized. scenes or landmarks? i have seen so many WashDC photos and drawings in the book and none i can associate with Roanoke Island. any help there? Also, something led me to the tall wrought gates at the Elizabethan Gardens. Those gates are from the French Embassy in Washington DC. Property gates could the last thing touched and the first thing seen standing? also a dock or landing. still working on other areas of the image. is there a 'connect the dots' puzzle in the upper area of the image? same for wave spray in NYC image 12? onward.

I have several solves but need someone like Josh Gates to get permission to dig for one of them.

Ok Folks bare with me. Sluggo might like this.
I won't bore you with alot of details that have already been discussed. This however I believe is new.
If you look on the left side of the pic the string from the fairy's foot goes to a plumb bob. If you follow that to the floor it is above an inverted image of the north gate at the Elizabethian Gardens. I had wanted to show a picture of that gate and the inverted image but can not figure out how to do so (yet).
In the verse it says "Under what is touched or first seen Standing" The gate would be last touched as you exit the park and first seen when standing on the shore looking in.
Well here's the bad news I made a BOTG search first week in Jan of this year. The gate was there in 2013 but has been destroyed now. The columns of the gate remain however the pathway leading out of the park has been washed away over time ( about 20 feet ) down over 3 feet. I dug anyway but it is safe to say that the box has been washed away by storms at some time between 2013 and now.
I will try and figure out how to post the images I'm speaking of but you can find images of the north gate online.
I'm crossing this off of my search list.

Plumb bob could land on roof of a car pointing to a parking lot close by. The painting depicts many sports references i.e. basketball and baseball. So we may be looking at another ballpark like place. One thing that was in the news and on TV around the clock at the time was the world cup soccer '82 (football). GOAL!

Do you see the wing image in the floor that I'm speaking about? That is the inverted image of the North gate. I sent that image to Jenny for her to post. I have not figured how to do that yet. I hope this clears up any confusion about my post this morning.

Here's the image of the north gate while it was still standing. If you're referring to the later released picture of the actual painting, you should be aware that the area below yellow line was truncated in the book so no one could see it.
