The Secret A Treasure Hunt | Buried Treasure in Roanoke North Carolina

The Secret a Treasure Hunt - Buried Treasure on Roanoke Island North Carolina. In 1982 Byron Preiss buried a casque on Roanoke Island that, if found, will reward the finder with a precious gem. The Secret A Treasure Hunt presents an image and a verse that pose as a treasure map to find the buried treasure. Watch this video and you may be able to solve The Secret on Roanoke Island.

I want to go to Roanoke Island this summer. Please let me know any solves that I missed so I can check them out!

My mom actually used to be in the lost colony and has connections. She was part of the ensemble a couple years back. Is the tree you are talking about used as a prop? I’m sure you can find out where the tree was when the casque was first buried there. This is a great theory!

The red stuff under the belt is the lower end of Roanoke, no question about it. Looks like there may be a little of the airport runways in there on the right (as you look at it, figures left) side. The lat and Long lines are in Kill Devil Hills, but I think that is just for the starting point of the journey. All the rest of the sites say they are usually there to be plus or minus 1 so it's just a range and a lot of that area falls within that range. Unfortunately most of the area on the north end that would make great dig areas are in the Nat'l Park land and Elizabethan Gardens (see their website about what they think of this hunt). By the "rules" both these (as well as the theater) are off limits. Ice Plant Island seems reasonable, but did not exist back in 1981... Hardest part to me about this one is finding something you can stand and look north and dig under that you won't get arrested in the process. I'm headed up there in a couple days to poke around and see what I can put together from in person reconnaissance.... there are so many things in this picture that line up or could be multiple things!

If you look at every image where the treasures have been found. The exact place where their buried is in every image. If you look at the helmet the horns are actually the Wright brothers memorial, another hint its definitely roanoke island. Been working on this one for a while myself. Very tough image to find clues. I'm sure their right in front of us but were just not seeing them.

The image emphasizes left. It is skewed left of center in the arch way and the left arm of the statue has more detail. I think the arch way represents the arch on the memorial that goes down the left side intersecting the word “resolution “ . Maybe the shadow casted by the memorial at 1 pm will point to the location of the casque.

How did your dig go last year? I live in Colorado and plan to go this summer/early fall.

@4:06 you say you're not really sure about December. I believe its a reference to the fact that the Wright Brothers flew their historic flight in December 1903. Ironically enough, it was on the anniversary of the Montgolfier Brothers flying the 1st ever hot air balloon. If you recall in the Wizard of Oz, the Wizard is taking Dorothy home on a balloon. I believe the man holding on to the bubble is to depict a balloon (in reference to Montgolfier and being called the man of oz), and there is a map of the OBX by the window.

I believe you have some good ideas. I have been researching this for a while and live in NC. When I use to live in Wilmington found some interesting things people have not pointed out on the imagine that associate with the shoreline. Also, in the poem from "After circle and square" everyone I believe has it misconstrued. If you would like me to show you what I am talking let me know and I am sure I can get in touch with you some how, so it is not so public.

Thank you for your time, good luck!

I’m in Kitty hawk today and this is intriguing
Did you come down and look last summer?

"Ride the Man of Oz"
This reminded me that there's a Wizard of Oz theme park in North Carolina... It's not in Roanoke though.
There was a fire in the park in December 1975 and the park closed in 1980

Some people believe it was buried in a baseball field in Wescott Park in Roanoke.

[cheshirecreeper]

There are some people who think that the "Last Seen Touched or First Seen Standing" is in fact referring to Wright Brothers Memorial, where we started our journey; there's tons of information on why people specifically think that we have to go back to the Wright Brothers Memorial on the Facebook Group, but essentially the final line "To Achieve By Dauntless and Unconquerable" is written on the Wright Brothers Memorial; hence, we should be achieving our goal BY the words "Dauntless and Inconquerable"
There's also an old Water Gate by the Elizabethan Gardens side of the beach that has seen better days, but some believe it was once buried there as well.

hope you do well, I believe I have found the Milwaukee treasure as well

Do we know what kind of flower is in the picture? Is it a carnation?

[alexfournier]

I’m the lion picture, in the hair has the numbers 36 and 80 which are long and lat lines for SC

[Zack_Raefski]

I don’t believe it is under the tree, I believe it is in front of the Albert Quintin Bell plaque in the amphitheater. I have some photos and clues that I think lead to there instead of the tree that a lot of people think about

[douglasumali]

Home plate symbol of a five sided shape is common in the images. Pentagon. Why?

[yj_holic]

I think this solution is correct. I attempted solving this hunt a few months ago. We are on the same page. I think that the CRO tree is where the casque is buried. Since, I am in India, I used Google Earth to solve this, and using the street view, I found out that if you stand near the tree, and look towards north, you can clearly see the Wright brothers memorial (wings). Incidentally, the words "DAUNTLESS DETERMINATION AND UNCONQUERABLE FAITH" are written on the memorial, as in the verse ("By DAUNTLESS AND UNCONQUERABLE determination").
Note that "determination" and "faith" are similar words.

The problem with finding buried treasure in the outer banks is erosion. Those islands change yearly. If it was buried there 40 years ago there's not much chance it would still be there.
