Looks like “G Stay Trip D” whatever that means? The Wolcott statue has been one of my favorite spots, but seems less likely with the paver stones out front. Still think the “locust” looks like a human kidney, hence the link to Wolcott. I also like the north point water tower as all 5 “birch trees” (outside looks like birch bark and has 5 distinct towers) and it has a “southern foot” the way it is geographically oriented. I believe the area around the water tower has been recently landscaped and there is a small shrub at the “southern foot”. I still feel it’s as good a spot as any to probe/dig. The area immediately south is laid out like the design on the neck area of the “juggler”.

I don't know how thick that tree was 40 yrs ago. BTW that's the reason I think the SF cask is near North Point pier (pier 4) area because of the clock/compass pointing north with E and W showing on each side. That could also explain the geometric signs, from perspective of the pearl circle-square for 04 (pier 4) and square-triangle for pier 43. Those shapes are on pier-looking structures by blue water.

Canuck, that spot is so exposed and next to a building that could have pipes and wire lines that makes me uncomfortable to even probe let alone dig and hide something. The proud tall 5th would be the middle tower, the other 4 are pathetic short ones, no?!

The proud tall 5th would be the middle tower, the other 4 are pathetic short ones, no?! You are probably right...just been trying to think outside the box as have always had trouble believing Byron would use actual birch trees or been down in that rugged area of Lake Park below the bridges. Someone on Reddit pointed out a bell on the jugglers palm and said that it, along with the design around the neck was on a German building next to the Milwaukee Public Library. I found that somewhat interesting as there has been a link to the public library system in some of the other cities. It’s also on Wells St., which happens to be the same street as City Hall and Pabst Theater. That fits the same corridor theory as Michigan Ave in Chicago and Euclid Ave in Cleveland so it might be worth exploring further? I can’t say I’m too keen on digging Clas Park though, which is next to the courthouse and jail! Might explain the “pretzel gavel” in The Secret though? I originally had it tied to the designer of the Wolcott Statue, but this is a much simpler explanation and simple has generally been better when finding casques.

On a proud, tall fifth At its southern foot The treasure waits
Going back to basics this screams the lions in Lake Park, so it’s the logical spot.
Let’s break it down: Proud - a group of lions is called a pride Fifth - the 5th sign of the zodiac is Leo the lion Southern Foot - could mean southpaw AKA the left side
Do the lions have individual names? Might help narrow down exactly which one to dig near

I think a group of lions is called a troop. A family of lions is called a pride. Close enough though. BTW next to the "Bell" is a lighted 3 or backward E. Near the lighthouse is E. Belleview Pl.

"The treasure waits"
It's possible that waits = weights. A millstone can be considered a weight. But, there might be other things related to the dig spot that is related to weights.
Just something to keep in mind.

It's probably ancient history but at one time the light posts on the Lion Bridges had a Proud Tall 5th.

The whole thing just doesn't make sense. You start at Mitchell Hall, down Kenwood to Lincoln. Then you go up the grand staircase to the south lion bridge. Then you go below the bridge on the rocky path 100 paces so you end up back on Lincoln. Then somehow you end up by the south most lion. How?

I don't think it's near the lions myself, obviously I have listed my solve under "Solving Milwaukee". I was just trying to help these guys who seem to think so.

Choice's just saying that in general to the universe. Choice -- isn't that why originally people thought you turn "right" away from the lighthouse and use that footbridge? Which way is the main concensus? North or South from the compass? Or to the other footbridge or South to the waterfall....etc?

The verse says southeast direction. That means you turn left at the waterfall and then I don't know where the rock and soil comes to play. There are steps down then a dirt path towards the soccer field? That might explain the southern foot, football field.

And I don't think I've ever seen reasoning behind where the "From woman, with harpsichord" is?
