7:00 Also, about the *object of Twain's attention* , I think it is the Guiseppe Verdi staue near the "Music Concourse Drive". From my research, I have come to know that Twain was not a big fan of opera (he felt it was often intense and incoherent), however, *Verdi's Trovatore* was one of his favourites, and he attended one of his concerts in *San Francisco* in August 1866. Verdi's statue, therefore, qualifies as an object of Twain's attention and the position of the statue near the *Music Concourse* makes it a very strong clue!

@@HiddenTreasuresMysteries Oh how exciting! I was a kid when my dad passed "Masquerade" on to me. The hare had been LONG dug up, but the concept that I could be clever enough to solve the book was thrilling.

[@markbosky]

I believe the object of Twain's desire is the "Cliff House" which he wrote fondly of in the SF Chronicle. The natural archway near the coast and Cliffhouse is present in the painting background. I feel like the stone gate at the top of the painting does not refer to Shakespeare's garden, but something else. It doesn't visually look as similar as the buildings or elements in the solved paintings. Twain also wrote a letter saying how he felt at home on Montgomery street. The Transamerica pyramid is on Montgomery street and existed when the treasure was hidden. Transamerica Redwood Park perhaps?

[@hollymajors5171]

There is a fountain inspired by Twain there. Giant poles could be the redwoods. Ace high could be the Transamerica building and giant step ...there's a statue of kids taking giant steps. Just a thought.

I also believe that the part of poem referencing "Mark Twains object of attention..." I think in Reference to his love at the time, Ms. Ina Coolbrith. Of which there is an Ina Coolbrith park location in San Francisco near North Beach area, just SouthWest of "Giant Pole" (possibly in reference to Coit Tower). And a similar archway depicted in image could be that of the archways of Coit Tower. Let me know what you think.

[@HiddenTreasuresMysteries]

Sounds good to me. I’ll look into it.

[@stevengreg9094]

Remember, Twain wrote "Is Shakespeare Dead?" Shakespeare's' bust would be a grand object of Twains attention, use in conjunction of the acrostic "Go straight nine ft" I would say its 9ft behind the bust. Dig approval Nov 14th 2022, stay tuned.

Great job on these videos. Can these be detected by metal detectors? For some reason I thought they couldn’t. If so a nice privy prob, good touch, and some systematic probing could go a long way. Hitting that box with a prob would sound and feel very specific.

[@frankhuman5610]

Are you SF-based? After wandering about GGP for dozens of hours running through these clues during the lockdown, I have a pretty strong theory of where this can be which seems simple and obvious. But you need to see it in person to understand. I like the Francis Scott Key Monument theory, but the foundation for the family said if you write them with the correct location, they will remit the treasure and count it as found. (In case it was buried or destroyed) It would be surprising if nobody has written them about the Key monument yet.

[@HiddenTreasuresMysteries]

Thanks for the comment. I do not live is SF. I agree about the Monument. Seems pretty obvious. Your solution probably has to be extremely detailed to be awarded the find.

[@ethanbothwell]

Writing to them doesn’t work anymore. Preiss was the only one who actually knew where the casques were hidden, and due to his unexpected death, he never told anyone before his untimely passing. Some people have tried writing and the company has confirmed you have to find the actual key itself because they don’t know the locations either.

[@edwardsantos9230]

" a Giant pole".... wasn't there some giant totem pole posted in Golden Gate park during the 1980s or around the time the book was written. I had seen a news documentary about the totem pole which is supposedly housed in another location in San Francisco now. It was moved from it's original spot in golden gate park.

This is not a walk a few blocks and you found the treasure... I found this place in south florida and its a real close solve. The issue is the picket fence. It does not say if its metal or wood or plastic, and many fences in Florida where painted green, so the Fountain of Youth is not the location... Everyone has been searching wrong, because google/wiki points them to what has been narrowed years ago... so people loose track and creativity...

[@barbaratimmons5510]

As with most solutions throughout The Secret, there are far too many assumptions. Look again at the female. She has BLUE EYES and CURLY HAIR Both of these makes me think that maybe she is not Chinese. I have taken my idea wider to include the chance that perhaps there is a different road to follow. Also her facial features are not consistently Eastern. Could there be a Spanish connection here? The gem is not totally a convincing PEARL- ( Chinese connection ) either. It could be a YELLOW SAPPHIRE which makes another leaning towards the Mex/Spanish tribe. My interpretations lead me towards ANGEL ISLAND . Both Chinese and many Spanish were Quarantined there. The fact that nobody has found the Casque to date makes me want to consider alternative locations and I feel that the island would be a sound place for the solution. The Shakespeare hint is good ( a rose by any other name could smell as sweet )and the site has to be linked strongly with a particular immigration group or event..NOt just the casual on going immigrant influx over a long period. There is a particular aspect of the Artwork which indicates clearly that in at least three illustrations there are two groups hinted at as possible, but one item make it clear which one was chosen to receive the casque. Surely if it had been Golden Gate Park someone would have found it by now. We must try other sites. My location for the Chinese/ Pearl connection is NEW ORLEANS. This is based on the historic developments. After the emancipation of slaves the Chinese moved in to replace the need for cheap labour. It cannot be African in N.O.- theirs is Charleston and with the Diamond Gem. Florida with the TURQUOISE is located in Jacksonville (Fort Caroline) connected to the earlier peaceful French Huguenot settlers. NOT the aggressive Spanish at St Augustine. This is just my interpretation but I tend to use facts other than supposition to interpret the solutions, and also the artistic guidance I find in the illustrations. Good Luck to all.

[@Niallmylove]

The only sure and confirmed part of all of the puzzles are that the gem is connected by time by month and birthstone. So to say it’s a completely different stone, discredits all of the known facts of the puzzle so I don’t think it’s fair to draw conclusions off the assumption it might be a different gem.

[@barbaratimmons5510]

@@Niallmylove Sorry to disagree Deniz. but I do not yet associate any connection at all with GEM ,TIME, MONTH and BIRTHSTONE I feel this can be only another amusing RED HERRING. There is NOTHING absolute in this treasure hunt. Only ideas from many different interpretations. Each must be considered as plausible until proven otherwise I.E: the finding of THE KEY. The only 'known facts' is that THREE HAVE BEEN FOUND so far. Can you identify any way to use the Birthstone/ Time theory to the locations in Boston etc. where the casques have been already recovered? I am not inclined to accept any long standing idea as definitively correct other than any more recent new ways of working the clues. In fact, if the older solutions have not been successful, surely this points out, reasonably, that maybe long established knowledge cannot be fully defined as true. There is an aspect which I am working on which uses a specific colour code to pinpoint in each illustration, an exact site.( I can apply this to the fond casques) There is also a game from childhood which I find helpful. Do you recall YES /NO HOT /COLD answers while hunting for a hidden item. I have found it helpful in this puzzle as I did in the original book, Masquerade 40 years ago. Look for anagrams and wordplay. My wholehearted advice is ---- KEEP AN OPEN MIND --- and always reconsider at every stage.
