Joining in...
Hello and thank you for the last 260 thread pages of entertaining, interesting and/or insane thoughts!

Brooklyn-local here and joining the search. I've just spent the last week watching, re-watching and over thinking all the episodes. Obviously, you guys are way ahead of me, but I'm catching up fast.

I only found this forum after getting stuck, unfortunately, after episode two at Columbus Circle and the Silver Coast of Africa. Clues through there seem to be real, concrete and explainable. After that (the last 200 pages of thread or so) all seem to be conjecture because know is actually sure and/or can prove they knew where to go after Columbus.

Anyway, that's where I'm stuck. Would love to hear if anyone's picking this back up as a summer hobby.

PS - Anyone know that the treasure is still out there and that we're not just wasting our time?

Peace and thanks.

These quotes have shifted my attention back to "we should have been listening to Mulligan from the very beginning" and Mulligan's "code of all codes" in ep. 1... It sounds more like we need be tracing out their footsteps and look at the shape of their trail as a whole, as many have suggested on here. Unfortunately the trail that I've mapped out doesn't really resemble anything.


Have you given any thought to Mulligan's line "yeah... your foot" to the Captain? Possibly just trace the Captain's steps (if the theory that they split up holds).

Another random thought - I was pondering the possible relevance of the "belly jeans" and "window sele". Maybe those arent meant to be thought too hard about - is it possible that there is a jar of jelly beans on a window sill somewhere? Maybe that signifies the right place to dig? Just a thought.

Finally, I think your theories seem to make the most sense so far, so keep up the good work. I'm always checking back here to see if you've specifically added any ideas.

Why does Crothers Parrot look like Tutty?
Did anyone ever come up with a good reason why Tutty looks so similar to Crothers Parrot? They are missing the same eye, arm, and leg and are both wearing a white and red stripped shirt.

I'm here!
I was very much into this when it first came out. I followed every clue by the letter, and got all mixed up and turned around.

i walked away for a few months, but decided to come back after seeing the quotes mentioned above.

I have watched the first two episodes, only paying attention to anything that Mulligan says.

I am also trying to step back and seea bigger picture.

For example: his name, "Mulligan". Clearly a golfing term (plus we hear "birdie" later on).

I am not there yet, so I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I am going to try to watch these more for the story than anything else. i.e.

episode 1=Central Park
episode 2=Something to do with Master and Commander
episode 3 = cnn studios....

i would love somebody else to talk through this with.

not me, but I did see a new interview which might inspire someone to get back into it

Some quotes I think are important (bolding is mine):
Quote:
Individuals are meant to watch the story, pick up the clues the pirates are laying down, and venture to some soft spot of earth somewhere in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, or The Bronx with shovels...

possibility of word jumble from phone call "lottery" numbers
So I have no clue if this is a clue... ::rimshot in head:: hehe, but I was thinking about the lottery numbers being a word jumble. since there's no duplicated numbers, it makes it a bit harder to narrow down, but I did make a spreadsheet of all the possible combinations of letters to start messing with. Let me know if anyone's interested in that.

If you are referring to the subject of the e-mail to Tom, it's:

which translates to
"This is not a clue"


haha, ok, well there goes that thought. speaking of the contact page, anyone else have fun moving your mouse over the octopus thingy and making it's eyes go all googly? ya think there's some kind of clue that has to do with octopus eyes?

Whew!

ok, so I had watched the videos a few times, then decided to check this site out a few days ago... I came in to this thinking along the lines of Fort Greene. Specifically 4 possible locations of where this might be.
The first being actually up in the monument. This was quickly dismissed because of the 200 lb issue on what looks like kinda old stairs that couldn't hold 200 lbs of anything. Instead, assuming it's in that area, there might be an obvious marking that's able to be seen from the top.

The second thought was that it was in the crypt. Noone has come forward saying that they've checked it or that it's not open to the public, so part of me still thinks it might be in there.

The third possible location could be in the arsenal... where 2 of the bronze eagles are located.
The fourth is a random nonsense thought that it might be at the production company a block or 2 west of the park.

I'm not going to post reasoning behind thinking it's in one of those 4 locations, but instead will offer up some potential clues that haven't been talked about yet:


1. ok in the comic episode, they mention if someone follows them but stops at the next port, that would put them "right behind ye"... wouldn't that mean that if they're talking about a bus or subway line, you would be getting off right before a turnaround? maybe one that the next stop is like a block away or something?

just out of curiosity, what did we determine was the 8th clue?

since you have to get the commissioner's permission to dig in any parks, has anyone actually asked the commissioner if someone got permission to bury something in a certain park that your clues lead you to?

I've started noticing there's a few buried letters on the website itself. If you go to any of the sub-pages, You'll see 2 hidden I's. I don't know if there are any other hidden letters yet, but those 2 were pretty noticable.

Speaking of I's, what the heck is with the squid/octopus eyes on the site? anyone else notice that on the home page, 2 of the thingies look differently?

finally, I have another potential clue from the site itself, but I would need someone to help me get it cause my computer can't read japanese apparently. If you want the hint, please post it on here so I can get it out of my mind once you have it. It's probably not going to point you to a certain spot, but who knows.

Oh and before you go thinking that I'm gonna dig up the treasure myself if the clues point right, I live in Oregon, I've been to new york a couple of times when I was in high school and college, but I got new york out of my system. I'm really just here to point out a few things that either haven't been discussed yet, or possibly someone discussed them and then deleted them. If someone does find the treasure due to my hints, I would like to have them send me a picture of it and maybe 1 coin so I can make a memory thingy out of it.


Just wanted to point out also, in National Treasure, The treasure was technically buried, but really out of the whole hunt, how many times did they actually dig with shovels? << that was for the lurkers that just go out and dig at any random spot that someone's clue leads them to.

Not sure if there are any clues here yet (haven't had the time to look), but they keep updating their tumblr site:

the forum probably did hurt us... brainstorming is a great tool to help people think differently and spark ideas, but the problem on here is that we take other people's ideas too seriously: "oh right, it could mean that, or that, or that, or that" until our heads explode with possibilities! I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but the key is simplicity, and I think forgetting about the hundreds of theories on this forum is a good first step. However, I think this forum was great for finding out what were the 'homages' in the series, a great example of collective knowledge!

As for where I'm at, I figured out a final location at the beginning of January. I will be going to NYC at the end of March, and I hope that nobody else figures it out before then. Whether I find the gold or not, I will post my full solution on here.

Anyway, I don't want to be the guy that sits on the forum going "I have an answer, so I'm just going to sit here and not contribute", I'll post some ideas to the Episode 6 thread Wink


Please share I am looking forward to it. I think it is interesting to see how people think. I found another area that relates to the last video, but as you know I have to check all that talk coding.
