I've been working on a theory that there is a "fair folk" category match (or two) to go along with each image and verse pairing. One or two of the casques may use images in the front of the book to accomplish this goal instead, so yes I agree that is the Chicago flag. Many people feel the "Field Guide to the Fair People" has little to no value in finding the casques. I think the writing in that section is mostly that way, but feel the images in that section are valuable in narrowing down search areas in various cities. For example the San Francisco "fair folk" matches are Alibi Elf and Mira Chimera. Between them I've come up with about 8-10 hints and there may be more. One of the better ones is Robert Stroud posing as The Thinker in the Alibi Elf image, helps narrow it down to the Legion of Honor as the casque burial site for San Francisco. I don't get the sense a lot of people are open to this for whatever reason. I thought bringing fresh ideas to this hunt would get people talking, if they are most aren't willing to share in public. The other thing that baffles me is people acting like the park the casques are buried in is a known fact (the wiki is terrible for this). I'm of the opinion about half of the remaining 10 are buried in places outside of the spots being pushed by the majority. My advice would be to question everything and figure it out on your own rather than take everything that others have said as fact. There is value in reading the opinions of others, just filter through so you retain the good and discard the bad.
Some of these puzzles I've thought and re-thought many times until more and more pieces fall into place and it makes sense. Make sure you have many image, verse, and IMHO fair folk matches in your solve or chances are you aren't in the casque location. |

you and i are on the same page. i keep thinking about the flip side of the medallion in Raiders of the Lost Ark. that is why i am so focused on the art and illustrations. i see so much more than i can post because i cannot figure out how to capture and show. very da vinci approach in masking one masterpiece under another. i have posted what i can to convince folks to look deeper. i joined the community to solve as a community. i have been at this exactly one year. no way in hell i could take full credit for a find. i have gratefully benefitted in one way or another by the posted work of others, plausible or not. i am sharing everything, probably to the dismay of some. one observation. the blue aura appears to highlight shapes or areas in the art of significance. the split rock and LEP cliff profile are so material to me. i stood on MRB with that view and felt Byron had stood there as well. i thought he was showing the dig location. nope. i just realized he was standing where the casque is kept when he took the picture. the pyramid rock- split rock alignment hits that spot on the beach. that is where i am headed next. but i hope someone gets there first. it is not about the gemstones! those stairs are killer! onward. i shape on top of the lantern is the same shape in the palm of tbe hand of the Milw juggler. so i am now looking for an ornate lantern with that top in the Milw solution. look at the doorway above the dragons eye. two SF clues, looks like iron gate, backlit, with open outer doors. hmmmm. i will post more. onward.  |

I've also seen the lantern in the palm of the Milwaukee juggler. Those tops are on some street lights in Milwaukee, there is one on the south side of the North Point Tower. Interestingly the fountain and surrounding green space just south of North Point Tower looks like the red designs near the jugglers neck (although same design can be found downtown as has been pointed out by many people).
If you use all the clues in the Mugwumps image, my "fair folk" match for Milwaukee, it will get you to the casque burial site at the Erastus B. Wolcott statue. For example, look at the left side of Mugwumps mouth and you will see a horse leg...big clue to Gunpowder, Wolcott's horse that is part of the statue. Many people bring up that the rear portion of the statue has been dug many times over, but my spot is under the brick paver stones near the front portion of the statue. By all indications those paver stones have been there for many, many years but don't believe they were there in the early 1980s when Byron buried the casque. I still feel it's a viable spot, just hard to get at with that additional barrier.

Lantern reminds me of SF Chinatown lamps.  |

Choice, I saw on Q4T you are working the flowers for zip codes. In Canada we don't use zip codes, they are called Postal Codes and specific letters are assigned to specific provinces. Your LOL thing was amusing, but in order to find a Montreal postal code you need to find something starting with H.
We also alternate letters and numbers, so a Canadian postal code goes letter, number, letter for the first part and number, letter, number for the second part...good luck finding that in the image!

I also enjoyed the show especially the gathering at the end and the rare explanation of the painting methodology by JJP. A lot inconsistency and errors in his solve though. Columbus statue and public library had nothing to do with the solve. They couldn't even get the name of the park right. Not Langone. It's Andrew P. Puopolo. Clue to this name is on page 117 of the book. Prince Andrew People magazine. Park next to Langone to the south is Prince St Park. Also clue to SF cask is in that page too. See if you can figure it out! Hint: 3 characters with Tom Selleck in the middle.  |

"Canadain postal codes can contain a space and take form of A1A 1A1. The letters can be upper or lower case, but the first letter must be one of the standard Canadian zones: A,B,C,E,G,H,J,K,L,M,N,P,R,S,T,V,X,Y. ... Will not accept letters. example: 12345 or 12345-1234 or 12345 1234."

I have this theory that the puzzle has a 3rd element that goes with image and verse, namely a fair folk category match. Most of them I have a pretty solid match for and have found clues to support this. Boston was one of the few that I couldn't match up, so I definitely like Phantasma Glory as the Boston match due to the Prince Andrew People Magazine (Andrew Puopolo).
I can't get behind a fair folk category matching multiple cities though, believe they are separate. For San Francisco I've got Alibi Elf and Mira Chimera as the fair folk matches as the clues in those images match up well.

I can't say I've ever sent or received a piece of mail that had lower case letters in the postal code...just not professional. I can't see Byron or JJP hiding a postal code with lower case letters is all I'm saying, would be an amateur move. |
