Put in below the home of Brown.
One sentence, short and sweet - what is it telling us to do?
There are a few ways to read the sentence:
"Put in___below" as a phrase "put in" then "below", telling us to do something at the "home of Brown"
"Put___in___below" as three separate words directing us to do something at the "home of Brown"
"Put in" "below" = a place located below "the home of Brown" that requires nothing more than noting the location of the "put in"
PUT = position, frame, assign, place, commit, invest, cause to undergo something, adapt, arrange, set-up, order, pose, cause to be in a certain state
IN = inch, Indiana, direction, inward, currently fashionable, to, toward, toward the inside, there
PUT IN = insert, enclose, introduce, devote time, break in, install, boat ramp, entrance, set-up, submit, inject, throw in, access point
BELOW = under, beneath, at a lower level, downstairs, down, at a lower place, lower floor, under
EDITED TO ADD: above are only a few of the synonyms

For river rafters and kayakers, the sentence has a very specific meaning. A "put in" is where you put your boat in the water and begin your trip. Its counterpart is a "take out", where you end and take the boat out of the water. They can be the same location - just a spot where there's parking and easy access to the river. Trips that began upriver might "take out" at the same spot where a trip going downriver "puts in."
So in this river-runner context, "Put in below the home of Brown" unambiguously means put your raft in the river and begin your float just downstream of the home of Brown.
Not saying that's necessarily how ff meant it here. There are other (non-rafter) contexts where "put in" could mean to land, for example as when a ship puts into a port. And he could mean that's where he put the chest in. Or any number of other ways to interpret it.
My brother (a river guide) and I have used the rafting interpretation in several of our searches. (We didn't actually float it either - we just "put in" and followed the river on a map, then drove to where we thought the poem suggested the "take out" was, and searched there).

One of the reasons I added this thread is to show that there are many other ways to interpret "put in" other than where you launch a boat, and even when it means that, it may be that it is merely making note of the presence of that 'put in', not that we do anything at it, ya know?
Oh, and I forgot one interpretation that I've read, to put "in" below the home of Brown in the poem.

Yeah - since he wrote "9 clues which, if followed precisely . . . " I gotta admit I did try following directions precisely by putting the word "in" directly below the words "home of Brown."
But I found I lacked the surgical skills to do it in any way I could make sense out of.

While at Fennboree I told numerous searchers what the line "Put in below the home of Brown." meant. One thing I didn't tell them what "Put in" means. Since my way of thinking is a little out there, in some, I sensed they were thinking I was way out there.
below the home of Brown. It is a garden located at the Buffalo Bill Museum called the Braun garden. I had to get into the archives of the museum to finally make sense of this line. I will only offer you this general interpretation.
below the home= Foundation
Braun is pronounced Brown which is German and the word halt tells the reader that a German word is in same stanza and at the end to look for it.
Hence we have an area of the museum donated by the Braun Foundation.
Put in refers to the previous stanza in which I explained only to a few searchers. Its a long story and hopefully it will be in my book with much detail.
"Put in" means a governed object that can never be sold or traded. In this case, It refers to a painting that has eternal status at the museum. It is only shown on display periodically from what I was told. Each time I went the museum it was never on display but it is there. Yet, you can purchase a print of the painting. It took me a little over 3 years to figure out the words-Put in.
There are many secrets at the museum and it would be very difficult to find anyone who would tell you. Many have passed on and I got lucky.
So there you go. It is just my own interpretation only. Always remember that he hid it.

lostowl: you have some mistakes in your grid. It's not warm Walters halt, you're missing an E in the first two words of line 10, and answer is singular in the most reliable version of the poem. This is going to foul some of your alignments/associations, though other than key, key, kee and kee (and you missed a "kee" in creek) it's not clear to me what you're attempting to show with your orange and blue boxed letters.

Look at the official el. of the museum 5017. Still... don't think you should be messing around for the treasure there although I do like the German Braun and halt idea. |

Look at the official el. of the museum 5017. Still... don't think you should be messing around for the treasure there although I do like the German Braun and halt idea. I didn't get to talk to many at Fennboree. All I remember that you announced you were heading home and I missed the chance to meet with you. I said many things about my interpretation to many searchers. I do hope that if someone finds it, that they find it in their heart to do what is right with the treasure chest. My plans, if when the time comes, if ever, is to place it in a museum. I have the perfect plan and it will make thousands very happy. All I know is my interpretations it got me within twelve feet of the treasure, so I took a picture of it back in 2015 and didn't know it. I didn't say the treasure chest is physically located their. All I am saying is the museum is hiding the clues. I think it was brilliant to do so. |

It was really neat and enjoyable to go there. |
