The bench shadows are also checkerboards. Great solve!

Wow! That is very well thought out! We need to get Josh Gates on this solution.

Very intuitive! I think you're on the right track. Never thought about the view point. Ive been looking at the Charleston painting, now I will go back with a new perspective.

I had the same theory as you. Untill I looked at the paintings mirrored image a few moments ago. The clock is crooked af. There is a mouse on top of the mask/mirror. Hickory dickory dock the mouse ran up the clock. The crooked man. Nursery rhymes. Dig becomes Jill. Grandfathers tell us bedtime stories. Jewels is on hyams fountain. And the lions faces at the perisyle pavillion resemble the mask or mirror. I wanna say it could be dig jack jill. I dunno. See what you think. Also bayou st john would technically be the first immigration spot as opposed to french quarter.

At time stamp 14:30 you mention only "3 stand watch" can all 4 been seen at once and is there a particular spot where 3 of them all face you?

I think I unlocked a clue…Fay’s delight. Everyone seems to go to the fairies and gnomes up the street. But it’s redundant. Just wants you to think fairies. But what’s close to fairies is FERRY’s. When Roosevelt ride the ferry he was quoted as saying it was a delight. There’s also a finger below the horse on the map pointing…don’t know if that’s by the water and links with it in any way.

I'm going back to NOLA next weekend. I might have to check this out.

Good points! You def had me interested. I hate how ambiguous the clues can be. In my heart of hearts I still think it’s in 1 of 2 other parks in Nolo but I also don’t think you’re wrong.

This is a great video! 👍 if you look at the shape of the hedges, they taper differently on both ends. This could be why the clock frame is not symmetrical.

You have some good points, thank you for sharing!

My GF and I finally figured out the 3 numbers on the New Orleans painting. The 19, 29 and 90. It took us a while, but we got it.

Anything new come up about this?? I live in New Orleans, do I need a shovel???

Amazing video, i really enjoyed it. Any thoughts on the Montréal one, I live next to Montréal but I'm not sure if it's really Montréal and it seems harder than the others

Theres a charles leftly poem that mentions fays delight. At the end it mentions following the bugle. If you look at dig jax. There is a bugle at the start of dig. Let that cook your noodle.

Great content, I've been working on the NYC solve for a few years now. I would like to hear what you think.

my only question, can you find pictures of the benches in 1982....great work
johnwilliams
I think you got it. Also keep in mind the ground can move and shift and so much happens in 40 yrs to everything around. Hell some guy could have found it and thrown it away when doing gardening work or planting the new bushes. As far as getting a permit though I would just say screw that and take the chances he didn't have a permit when he buried them. Matter of fact he was in and out so fast that no one even saw him bury them. Has to be a way.

I believe the fingers are holding the the lamp, I mean mask, formed into what most people familiar with the American sign language alphabet would consider to be an "X" as in X marks the spot. It's at a street lamp's base. With cement deep into the soil and the underground wiring, both of which fight soil erosion from storms, a lamppost would be an excellent, long-lasting place marker.

The chess knight piece is a reference the Paul Morphy. He was known as the Knight of New Orleans. And still considered the greatest chess player ever.
He was born in New Orleans and died in New Orleans.
