Under The Table
If your moonlighting

Has anyone seen the many times that characters in the videos are pointing at the table as if its UNDER it?
I see those tables at the crows nest along with a crap load of compass clues....and a flag code. I aslo can see the MAP from there.

Neil Diamond is the KING of NY, (the jewish elvis). He sang a song about Liberty-We come to America.

The liberty was Shrappnelled by Tom, like Larry was Shrapnelled by tom. This is , in my opinion, a compass reference. From there, you can look at Larrys watch and see the rest.

That is not governors Island, it is Staten Island, when you fold a map 90 degrees and look at it you will see it.
If you can't, i don't know what to add.

two locations are exactly the same from there(distance), and there are coinsidences in relation to distance from the wonderwheel that are eeie. When I flip my map upside down, it has two places out of order. these two places match the clues in the 4th video. They also line up on the site map.
The end of this hunt is near.

I also have a few ideas of where it is, but the question I don't know is 1) is the chest buried already or 2) are they going to bury it the week the last video comes out.

The chest was buried last November.

jrc - thanx! and follow-ups
bridge map and squid picture

Thanks very much, JRC.

Do you know where we can find maps for the bridge maps in other boroughs also? I've been to the NYC DOT page and am not finding it. The reason for my asking is in case the 8 digits identify some bridge.

For example, consider that maybe Crothers when on top of the screen is actually just on top of the bridge looking down at you.

Thanks also for the point about the naming of the squid jpeg. Stupid question: how does one isolate such images so as to know what they are named?

Thanks very much to all the many people who have brainstormed many things -- it makes the hunt far more enjoyable. The first Stadther hunt was amazing and great family fun precisely because of the collaborative brainstorming of possibilities that went on.

Out of the 1-2 thousand searching for the gold I wonder how many are in NY. How many of you here are from NY?

I expect the other maps are there somewhere. I just googled the number you posted in combination with the word bridge.

The jpeg name is some very minor hacking, nothing illicit. All the same, it is accessing the images in a manner that the writers did not intend. In this case I don't think there is any extra usable information, and if a website is written correctly, there won't be. It is a temptation that could spoil some enjoyment in some cases, however. So I'll put it in spoiler text:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I merely saved the web page, and looked through the resulting documents for the links. Then you can call the image URL directly.

I'm in Brooklyn

and I also have a VERY GOOD LEAD as to where this might be.

Willing to talk to someone that might have cracked other clues to confirm.

If you are wondering? Yes, I have already begun digging Wink

Does this mean we are no longer working together?

That is an ancient chineese secret. I am no longer sharing my map info anymore, sorry.
