Okay flyjack, he says he traveled in Canada. I can't see any reason he would have unless he was going to bury a casque there. It doesn't seem likely he would have passed through Canada going from one dig site to the next. That still doesn't tell us which image is for the casque he buried in Canada. I can't personally find co-ordinates to place image 9 in Montreal or anywhere in Canada. I do find the approximate co-ordinates of Philadelphia. Other than the Legeater depiction, what would lead you to Montreal, Canada. In my opinion, Most depictions in the images don't look exactly like what they represent in the real world. If you can help me see the connection, I'll start trying to help the search in Montreal.

I have already found a solution and have tried to get dig permission, it has fallen into a black hole with no responses. Oddly, I am Canadian but don't speak or write french.
There are some Montreal clues on the web but not all the ones that I have found, some on the web are correct some not..

I know I'll be reprimanded for this but here goes. The one clue I didn't have an answer for was "Two twenty two". I now believe it refers to the distance 2 miles to 22nd street from the location of the St George and the Dragon Statue. Once you arrive at 22nd Street on Ben Franklin Parkway you have a great view of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. From there I think it would dawn on you where you are headed.  |

Xmarsdspot I believe you are correct, pic 9 is in PA. I too could not find Montreal reference in the picture. I thought the PA is in box under horse leg, that also could be P7. I also wonder why the picture is mainly brown & beige or light gold. Kinda reminded me of chocolate. Hershey’s ? The opal on his hat looks like the bottom of a kiss candy? Just a thought  Also in the Fair people section there are ones representing regions. One of them is Torontogre. Toronto Canada? Not Montreal? I still need to read about him to see his habits etc.... |

Thanks mfig! I try not to follow any preconceived notions, just follow the clues the best that I can. Maybe one day we'll know if any of it is correct. |

Could this be what the 67 is referring to?  |

This is a second likely reference to the longitude of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I'm not sure all of the five is visible but the image leads your eyes/mind to see a five.  |

In addition to the 76 in the image referring to the longitude, the Philadelphia 76'ers, and maybe 1776, it could also represent Hwy 76 which passes through Philadelphia across the river from the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The path Hwy 76 takes is somewhat similar to the outline of the right side of the hat in the image. Look close you'll see it.  |

I have mentioned before that I believe there is a horse theme in this puzzle. I believe the crossed finger that is pointing to our right is pointing at the other two depictions of horses confirming that it too represents a horse. that particular finger is shown slightly lower than the finger resting on it so that you know it is the horse and the higher finger represents George Washington sitting atop. The horse is of course the only standing member. There seems to be a lot of confusion about the clue "Get permission, To dig out.". I believe since he has already given the casque location this is just another clue to the horse theme. There was a race horse born in 1899 named Permission and a another horse born in 1922 named Dugout. Dugout was 5 generations back in Secretariat's pedigree.  |

I'd like to share an alternative meaning behind the P7 cross depiction in Image 9. To me this seems to be a very important find. I only found it because I looked where it should have been based on the image/map and there it was. I will let you guys decide what if anything you believe it means. Based on the fact that it is where it should be, and the P7 depiction could very likely represent it, I have already made up my mind. The thing to notice is that like the P7 depiction if you cross(X) out everything in the middle, the message still starts with P and ends with 7.   |

If anyone had trouble locating the above plaque, it is at the base of the flagpole at the top of the "rocky" stairs, in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. There is actually a matching plaque on the opposite side of the stairs. I assume the 2 flag poles was the gift.

The fleur-de-lis also has a connection to Pennsylvania. The 111th infantry regiment originally founded as the Associators by Benjamen Franklin on November 21, 1747 used the fleur-de-lis on the flag along with the slogan "No Backward Steps".  |
