    The bench shadows are also checkerboards. Great solve!

    The chess knight piece is a reference the Paul Morphy. He was known as the Knight of New Orleans. And still considered the greatest chess player ever. He was born in New Orleans and died in New Orleans.

    I believe the fingers are holding the the lamp, I mean mask, formed into what most people familiar with the American sign language alphabet would consider to be an "X" as in X marks the spot. It's at a street lamp's base. With cement deep into the soil and the underground wiring, both of which fight soil erosion from storms, a lamppost would be an excellent, long-lasting place marker.

    My GF and I finally figured out the 3 numbers on the New Orleans painting. The 19, 29 and 90. It took us a while, but we got it.

    I had the same theory as you. Untill I looked at the paintings mirrored image a few moments ago. The clock is crooked af. There is a mouse on top of the mask/mirror. Hickory dickory dock the mouse ran up the clock. The crooked man. Nursery rhymes. Dig becomes Jill. Grandfathers tell us bedtime stories. Jewels is on hyams fountain. And the lions faces at the perisyle pavillion resemble the mask or mirror. I wanna say it could be dig jack jill. I dunno. See what you think. Also bayou st john would technically be the first immigration spot as opposed to french quarter.

    I think I unlocked a clue…Fay’s delight. Everyone seems to go to the fairies and gnomes up the street. But it’s redundant. Just wants you to think fairies. But what’s close to fairies is FERRY’s. When Roosevelt ride the ferry he was quoted as saying it was a delight. There’s also a finger below the horse on the map pointing…don’t know if that’s by the water and links with it in any way.

    Good points! You def had me interested. I hate how ambiguous the clues can be. In my heart of hearts I still think it’s in 1 of 2 other parks in Nolo but I also don’t think you’re wrong.

    Very intuitive! I think you're on the right track. Never thought about the view point. Ive been looking at the Charleston painting, now I will go back with a new perspective.

    This is a great video! 👍 if you look at the shape of the hedges, they taper differently on both ends. This could be why the clock frame is not symmetrical.

    Theres a charles leftly poem that mentions fays delight. At the end it mentions following the bugle. If you look at dig jax. There is a bugle at the start of dig. Let that cook your noodle.

    I think you got it. Also keep in mind the ground can move and shift and so much happens in 40 yrs to everything around. Hell some guy could have found it and thrown it away when doing gardening work or planting the new bushes. As far as getting a permit though I would just say screw that and take the chances he didn't have a permit when he buried them. Matter of fact he was in and out so fast that no one even saw him bury them. Has to be a way.

    Do you live in the city? If you do I have what you may be looking for. I even have the solution for "start with chicken". Preiss's hint for the Japanese version.

    ​@jjd216 that damn chicken clue has been driving me crazy. But New York in general does, I guess. I feel like I've narrowed it down, but there's just too much visual stimuli around.

    Yeah, I'd also say that 40 have passed and maybe some lamposts where not there. Or even better, they looked different and their former shape may have looked like the white mask on the image. Great content!!!!
