After a quick Google search I am so happy to announce that a third key was found in Boston, Massachusetts in 2019, just months after this video was made!!! The park in which the key was hidden was undergoing renovations and the casque was thankfully unearthed rather than lost or destroyed.

Google Earth takes you very near and or above any area you may like to search . The puzzle is actually more along the lines of letting a six year old tell you what as an example " Hard Words " means , To every person it of course congers up different things but lets go back to pre 1900 , " hard words " were perhaps intended as both simplicity and profound as " print blocks " in the case of publishers of books or newspapers , were used even way into this last century for ads ! The language of the book therefore one will find is very basic and rudimentary but also , meant to confound the wise looking too deep and yet not deep enough , thus the seemingly un-solveable conundrum ! An example of this simplicity is the third solve " feel at home " being home plate in Boston and a baseball painted into the womans hair ! Think of this treasure book as gold panning , move mountains , dig deep , then very gently and thoughtfully swish the remaining small grains .

That was kinda sad but also sweet? Like, sad that dude was ahead of his time but sweet that, even after his death, people are still trying to find those keys. They probably won't find them, won't be surprised if someone is living on top of them now but hey, as long as people are having fun, right? Lowkey convinced that the guy was 4chan user from 2089 who came back in time to mess with people of the past. Also, I really love how you make those videos. You make them mystic and eerie but never outright 'scary'. No loud noises, no jumpscares, just ambient music and a really amazing voice. Good job >:V

Thanks for not blaring the creepy music over your voice like alot of other "Strange and disturbing" channels. I appreciate your work.

Typical of this age. People have no skills to research history. They just want everything served on a plate to consume. Open your mouth and gobble up. Doesn't matter if its *TRUE* as long as it seems plausible. You get your fill.

It's actually been finally confirmed that three have been solved. The third one was found in boston, although the cask was in pieces. and that was back in 2019, so it's going to be even more difficult knowing that the casks and the keys might not even be intact

There's something a little tragic about the idea that a puzzle with this much effort put into it, both creatively and monetarily, has remained unsolved for nearly half a century. I hope the remaining keys are found, despite the radically landscape. I love me some mysteries, the way you present things makes for an incredible listen.

Hey, but for real.. you really breathed new life into me with this one. I can really see myself obsessing over this for years to come. I'm not sure to thank you or curse you for it! 😃

Sadly I think most of the keys probably got lost through time. Especially after his death. Randoms might have found the keys and just threw em away.

Wow this is absolutely fascinating. The artwork in both books is mesmerizing.

I love that you find odd subjects for videos I haven’t ever heard of or seen before...I’m so interested in these things and feel like most of the rest of KZread talks about the same things over and over. It is always a treat when you upload.

If you look at the images from The Secret with red/blue 3D glasses on, they look amazing! Now I'm convinced that they were specifically designed that way.

As a self proclaimed Jr Detective, this gets my glassless magnifying glass tingling. Love every video you have ever done. Keep up the outstanding work.

Speaking of secrets, right now you're still the best-kept one out there, but that looks to be changing. Keep up the great work!

This honestly has become one of my favorite horror KZread channels! It's crazy that these videos can be so consistent in quality from this early on.

I truly have no criticisms for your channel other than that I want MORE. I've enjoyed every video you've put out so far. A lot of these creepy subjects I've never even heard of before, so it's really nice to have a channel to watch that isn't just recycling the same trite subjects over and over again. Please keep up the good work!

I remember having a kid's version of this type of treasure hunt book when I was young called a Treasure's Trove. The creator came to my elementary school and did a presentation I think? The clues were hidden in illustrations and all the treausures have been found by now. This video just brought back so many memories of pouring over those drawings and never finding new clues, haha. What a cool concept and video.

This is most definitely my favorite part of youtube. I'm so glad we have another youtuber who has the ability (and patience) to research these kinds of things, and really well I might add.

I found you two hours ago, and now you've uploaded a new video and reminded me of something I'd long forgotten. Thank you!

the quality of this channel is unbelievable. don't know why you don't have a lot more subs.

Forget Cicada 3301 this is so much more exciting I love this and you did such a good job on this and I want to start looking into it

I've been looking around random people's houses for years and found all sorts of fascinating things.

The Secret sounds awesome for a read just for the lore and artwork itself. I'm not a puzzle solver person, but those types of people, that sounds like something up their alley. Preiss was way ahead of his time (I loved the part where he made the treasures out of clay/porcelain, non metal material lol). That's really profound to think that far ahead and how tech could be used for people to work together like that. Wonderful video and presentation! There's like a Dana Scully giving a debriefing-vibe with your entire series, which just helps set the mystery mood of the series.

I love following creators putting up content covering weird/creepy things and other tales from the Internet. And your videos have been consistently fresh! Can totally tell you do your research to find topics that have gotten little coverage. So great to see your channel grow like this, you deserve it :)

I found you somewhat recently from your Junko Junsui video popping up in my recommendeds; and after watching that one, I ended up watching all your other videos available at that time in the same day. I really like your in depth, mostly neutral way of covering topics, and the fact that most of your topics are somehow completely untouched by bigger horror/oddity KZreadrs (and finding interesting topics that haven't been done to death is an achievement in itself.) Your way of speaking is also pretty good too; there's the occasional strange-sounding moment, but other than that, you're really good (I don't know if that's a weird compliment or not, but I hope it's a good thing to hear?) I hope you keep on doing amazing work with the channel, and I'm looking forward to your next video!

I first learned about this about 4-5 years ago on a list video on another channel ( I don't remember which one) and I just remember being floored by it's very existence and how to this day almost none of it has still been figured out, thank you for bringing more awareness to it !

So I wrote a comment but accidentally cancelled it instead of sending it...welp! I thought this was familiar but I couldn't put my finger until you mentioned Masquerade. The Secret, however, is truly on another level. It's a pity that the everchanging nature of cities has condemned (damned?) the puzzle to an eternal stalemate. But I'm also happy that people are joining efforts to solve it and salvage what they can. I'd love to join in the fun but since I don't live in the US, I'd be of little help, hahahah. At least I have a new reading!! Also, I think the book would be a nifty, alternate guide to the places it mentions.

Looking around, taking pictures and sending them back to "headquarters" for analysis; maybe even working _backwards,_ mentally undoing name changes, renovations, and relocations...

Long story short, after years of incorrect answers that didn't get even close to the actual answer, the treasure was found by a man who had insider information on the location from the organizer's ex-girlfriend, found it due to a pile of dirt from another team's efforts that had somehow missed the casket (and the only ones to legitimately solve the puzzle), and went on to use the prize in an apparent scam, setting up another contest to sell overpriced "video games" that had clues no one ever solved.

Wow this is bittersweet. For the author, his book is still being solved but he never lived to see all keys found and for the readers, they get to try and solve the puzzles with others but they have a low chance of the solution being confirmed since there's a high chance that it was destroyed (or under a house). Also before you even mentioned the inspiration, my mind immediately went to thinking it was inspired by Masquerade =P. I do wonder if another Masquerade inspired book will come out though.
