Book Hint Discoverers List

[goldwatch]

Over the years, searchers have found critical hints (or what looks  very much like hints) in the books. 
Does anyone have any names? 

1 - One I can think of is OH!, who found the 109 and 43 numbers on the edges of pictures in TTOTC. 
I'll look that up to be sure, I saw it recently in one of his posts over at Kpro's site ('The Hint Of Riches'). 
Edit: Here's a link to OH!'s recent post on the subject...

My old computer died a year ago and I lost a lot of info.

I remember someone made a list the stamps, and some commentary, but I don't remember who that was. They were the first that I know of to mention the same stamp being duplicated from "Gold And More", and it's duplicate on page 51 of TTOTC (the only stamp on an odd numbered page). These were the only two stamps that were perfectly the same. 

Someone else found hidden images inside of images in TTOTC, and maybe the other books. This one I should have made notes on, but I didn't due to being busy with other things. 

These are the sort of definite discoveries that I'm talking about.
I think it would be cool if we had a list of these discoverers, along with what they found. 

Any contributions? I'll update this list as we go. 

2 - Discovery by sledneck...Skippy's car in Buffalo Cowboys is wrong (pictures), has found a car in the right spot on location. See post in this thread, page #1. 

3 - Per the Stamps (above), Discoverer Zaphod revealed the only set of two identical stamps (confirmed at best by my memory) some years ago on these forums. Still looking for the name of the other poster who provided detailed info (including wrong days to dates?). 

4 - Lady V with some images found hidden in TTOTC, see post in this thread at link mysteriouswritings.proboards.com/post/51614/thread 

5 - Susie Fennhaven discoverer, provided by goldilocks, "in a cipher" found in FF's drivers license. See goldilock's post here: mysteriouswritings.proboards.com/post/51604/thread 

6, 7, 8, and 9 - by gnossos in post in this thread, link: mysteriouswritings.proboards.com/post/51615/thread ....
  6 - Robert Redford's book. FF says "IF" RR had written a book... RR wrote a book that I am sure Fenn has, and it is probably a signed first edition. 
       (Page 128 of "The Outlaw Trail" contains a photo which has WWWH, MEEK (way in the background) as well as Drawing Nigh.)
     6.1 - Goldhunter and zaphod tie "A River Runs Through It" to the Redford connection.
  7 - In Gold and More FF lies about the chest. It is actually from the 19th century. 1150 AD is a date from the movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

  8 - the cap letter Brown. What ELSE has sneaky Caps? Why does he describe contents of chest as a 'family bible' no cap B or a 'Book Of Days' caps? The Book of Days is a song by Enya. Title      Track to the movie "Far and Away" which (may) describes the final X marks the spot.

  9 - He also plays funny with writing numbers. He proves that he know the grammar rules by starting a sentence "Sixty-Four years..." but then he breaks that rule when describing the 254 rubies in the Lady's bracelet... the "other bracelet" in the chest.

This would imply searchers read the book.

Some feel the poem and a good map are all that are needed.

Hashtag reeding is overated.

That is true, but not the whole truth. The books have hints, Forrest even said so. 
By the way, that's really funny...
"Hashtag reeding is overated."

Misspells for the non readers, lol. (I get it that you intended that.)

That's a good one, jdiggins. 
I added it to the first post.

Thanks goldwatch.
Crazy how the first four say letters
a win
And there are 4 letters in mid chapters (all other letters are the first of each chapter)
They are
WWTA
With numeric values per their alphabet position
W=23, T=20, A = 1
Total for WWTA=67
In the poem, the first letter of each word in the first line read 1987 and 1920, the difference between which is 67.
That's just one notation....

[jdiggins]

Also
Total BROWN caps in TTOTC without omegas is
32

ME IN THE MIDDLE
PUT THE WORD
ME
IN THE TWO WORDS
THE MIDDLE
TheME middle

Theme middle

Put in below the home of Brown

Brown Capitol letters.......

B is capped, word is brown...

Susie Fennhaven (I believe she was first) brought to our attention on the id card on the shaded part of the left column reading down spells "in a cipher". For those of you who don't have the book:

Identification
Name
City
Phone
Employed by (here half the m was shaded and would be r)
Social Security No

Ok I got one for ya, why not right... Remember Buffalo Cowboys, and how Forrest never named the type of car, only described it as a two seater. Well parts of it were there, right where he said it was. 7 miles west of town in a sagebrush flat next to the lake. Eventually I identified the car by the shape of the fenders. There were no pictures that I could find on the web, just a couple of old advertisements. So my friends I ask you to google a "1907 Marvel Car". This tied a story from the book, to a line in the poem, to something I located while BOTG; My biggest confirmer, and guess where the scant I found was pointing...

Hi Goldwatch:

"I remember someone made a list the stamps, and some commentary, but I don't remember who that was.

These were the only two stamps that were perfectly the same."

I believe that was probably me. Could take awhile to track down the post(s) here, but will add a link when I do... in the meantime, here is the thread where we were most recently discussing this, and Jenny put together a good summary of the postmark stamps in a video:

Some good stuff, people. I'll add them to the OP soon.
Zap, yes, I think I remember you were the one that brought it up, now that you mention it. Then another poster added his full list and some notes. If you can find that, it would be much appreciated. I'll put both your names on it and that link, if you find it. Thank you.
Thank you all.

Hiya sledneck. 
Just a point, TTOTC has a picture of Skippy's car, and it's a 4 seater, as opposed to the 2 seater you are talking about.
However, the name "Marvel" seems significant, and the location too. Forrest may not have told us ALL of the truth, lol. 
I will include it when I add to the OP, thank you. (Not really my place to not include things, anyways.)

I believe the caption to that picture is something to the effect of, "The smile is real" pointing to the obvious photoshop job. Also I feel certain Skippy may have replaced his wheels after Buffalo Cowboys.

Good points.
