I know where it is!! I know it!
I just need a little help. OK, so I'm know this post is going to be majorly scattered, but bear with me. First of all, there IS a phone number hidden in the videos (can't remember which one- the one with the comic book, there's a number somewhere on there) and when you call it, one of the puppets reads a list of "lottery" numbers. The phone number to call is: 307-275-1033 The numbers they read off are: 17 16 14 21 12 and the "treasure ball number" 8
I have no idea what these numbers mean and I can't help but think they are the final key to the exact location. OK, so here is what I know and again, it's going to be scattered because I don't remember which videos and what exactly was said but here is what I do know. Today I took the subway to Coney Island and got off at Stillwell Ave. As soon as I got out, I saw it all come together. Here are my random notes trying to explain it. The crow's nest (Astro Tower IS the crow's nest) "Look for the flying birdie and follow its path" THIS is where it all came together. When you look up from the crow's nest, you see... "The Soaring Eagle" ride. That's the flying birdie! So I followed it and it led me to... the Scream (ie. ICE SCREAM from video 1), the "heavily muscled man", and then the map at Coney Island which has the pirate ship! Also from one of the videos the Captain is telling Mulligan to be civil to "his peers even if his face has fallen off and satan turned his arms into spiders." I'm thinking it meant "PIERS" and there is the octopus-spider-like ride near the Steeplechase Pier. There is also the candy shop and the brewing company all right there which is referenced at some point when the spirit they channel says he was "too full of sweets and drunk" to remember. Also, when they show the floating picture at the end where 250 ft is written, where is says "Home Sweet Home" there is a circle that looks like one of those red and white peppermint candies. When I got to Coney Island today and looked at the map, there it was right there on the map- the same candy. Look, I know this post is completely off-the-charts random, but I swear, if you were there, you would be able to see everything I saw. My ADD is so bad though I can't figure out the rest. I can't figure out the exact location, but I also think I did stumble across the perfect spot where I think it is buried. I don't want to go start digging by myself and I need someone to help me figure it out so if anyone is willing to go with me again tomorrow, let me know. I'm only about 115 lbs anyway and wouldn't be able to carry it back myself! Lol! I'll split it with you. Otherwise, I'll go myself tomorrow because I'm 95% sure I know the spot. Anyone up for it!?

GODDAMN!
I've just finished reading through 266 pages of this stuff. So far nobody who has posted on the forum with an "exact location" has come back gloating nor have they come back at all so I take it this chest is still in the depths. I've gone through many many posts and done alot of google work, to lead me (and this forum in general) with not much at all. I would share information with anyone still alive on this forum but most of it is opinions on clues and suppositions that seem to make sense. Much of the reading was laced with insanity (there are posters here who seem to be making connections out of thin air) and useless bickering over egos. In my opinion, I think if the forum simply put together a new thread or a single post that simply posits potentially useful information gathered throughout the entire series of videos, everyone would be able to go over pure information in a clear and concise light, allowing everyone to then post theories and maps and possible locations and whatnot. Of course I say this as a person who would (greedily) like to have money to put towards my own means, I would also be content to see this ARG played out to it's fullest extent.

Having phone number there would be good espically if some people went crazy digging up someone yard or place of business. We could have funny news report with people random checking like some movie.

Agree. Because you need the permission of the 'property owners'. Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2011 10:05 am |

I was thinking about how they would know when the treasure was found, especially in light of trying the Dodge Journey search. From that I realized that my previous thought of a live cam on it at all times would be way too costly at this point. Dodge used phone numbers at the end allowing them to track who was progressing through the clues. So maybe there's something similar at work here... A phone number hidden in the episodes that you call? Or a phone number at the end instead of the treasure that you call to retrieve the treasure.
Just a thought. Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2011 9:29 pm |

I searched (didn't dig) in Marine Park. I thought the birdie could be the rc planes (they have a "runway" in SE Marine Park where they fly them) and the 250ft from home being home plate at the nearby baseball diamond. I did pick up a few ticks, but I didn't find any markings to suggest there might be a treasure buried. It is a great spot to bury the chest without anyone seeing you, but I'm not sure how they would possibly keep track if anyone found it.

searched brooklyn bridge park
I searched BK bridge park long ago, starting with the ship. There are plenty of references that fit, but also many more that do not. For instance, there's no crow's nest to walk away from, and nowhere to dig at a 250 foot distance in any direction from the ship. I think we are missing something.

I dug.
I searched the Beach area at Pelham Bay Park because of the ship in the playground and you could see docks from Google Earth but not when your actually on the Beach. The Leonard Sholz gravestone in the comic book lead me there. I actually dug, I couldn't resist, there was a huge mound of sand with a big rock on top of it. I also searched around the Sholz "Winged Victory" statue.

The pirate ship in the park has been brought up before. Not sure if they explicitly said it was the one under Manhattan Bridge or not. I would imagine that area has been searched many times. I recall that somebody was questioning if the ship had been built by Nov. 2009 (don't remember if anyone figured out when it was built).
Perhaps it is time to start a 'searched' thread. This way we can keep track of the areas that have been checked. Posted: Fri Oct 07, 2011 7:57 am |

Ahhh!
NOW I see what you're talking about Foot - wonderful observation, sir! See, just plugging in Brooklyn Bridge Park, it defaults to another park shortly away from that. But good find, no less!

Oh
Oh and there's also a pirate ship playground right below the lawn I'm talking about. Coincidence? You decide.
Like I said, CCL email me at tower1210SPLATaol.com. I'd like to collaborate with you. Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:50 pm |

Go to google earth or google maps and look at the lawn right next to the Manhattan Bridge. Will be on the left of the bridge on the Brooklyn side. It is exactly the same as the shoeprint. On google maps it is marked "Brooklyn Bridge Park - Maine Street"
Don't know how it plays in but it's definitely something. Do you guys have a location for Mulligan and if so how far? After Larry King I have him on the B line. From there I think he gets on a bus and I think I know what bus it is but from there I get lost . Anyone else get further? Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2011 6:48 pm |

Re: Clues
Okay... Black Tom does not reference Mulligan directly in the comic book - granted, he's talking TO Mulligan, but it could be 'you' as in 'Mulligan & Crothers', considering Tom and the Cap'n arrived together. His quote is "To catch up to you is destiny when our paths were meant to be one." Interpretable, but different. The Parrot doesn't call him a traitor - he shouts 'Treason' over and over, as pointed out above already. Interpretable, yes, but none-the-less different. Mulligan is scared and guilty because -he- shot Crothers, and thinks the ghost will take it's revenge on him. STILL interpretable, I'll give you that. And - like ccl28 - I don't see what you're talking about with Brooklyn Bridge Park...I can't see a foot in there to save my life. I just don't see it, or see how the whole shebozzle leads there...

Re: Clues
Can you elaborate on this? The Captain's shoe is in the shape of the park? I don't get what you're saying. Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2011 12:18 pm |
