What makes you think it means Stele? Where's the "t" come from?

Because
Well because two of the episodes repeat the clue of a certain Stele in a certain park. It is all visual. Repeat visual.

As I wrote before two story lines here. Over all clues leading to the park and step by step in episodes 1-6 and 7 & 8 hit the spot.

 		so then im guessing by your statement that you know what park it's in and are being coy just to have some fun?

e: all four of your post reek of "i know something you don't know!"

either add to the collaboration and be helpful or go find the gold on your own if you apparently know what you're 3.5 miles from and what park has the right stele

e2: im not doubting that its all visual, especially after the revelation that the crayon shoe really was the best clue, but if you have something to share, share. if you dont, dont.

i dont mind him as much bc yesterday nights weather was horrible and from the sounds of it, he's come solely to find someone to help him for a percentage. this guy's different. he's not offering anything to the discussion or asking for anything.

e: i know that im not either, but im not pretending to have any information i dont have or being cryptic with anything.

 		Stele
I am not sure why she is letting on at all...

It is strange-this puzzle came very simply to her. To the majority of us it did not, there is a big story and references to things that could not be overlooked. Maybe that is the part she is missing.

Yes, I figured out the park a while after episode 6. I have been there several times. My metal detector is not a high quality one and is on the fritz. There is also so much crap in the ground in this area. It was very industrial at the turn of the last century. And it took me awhile to figure out the last video (Cool. Why I don't know.

I think some of you are extremely intelligent. But you are really digging way to deep getting distracted by homages, history, and every thing else. The clues are so in your face. Those others are so not.

I have contacted someone personally on this forum. They have been a really nice person from the get go. I am hoping to here from them. If I do not I will ask help from someone else.

@michny - No the Stele did not come easy to me. Actually it took me 5 weeks of research but, it is right there on the internet. Think where are we looking for the treasure, what kind of area. Not a shopping area, a school, the desert, a forest, private land, someone's back yard.
Oh, I wish that was me last night. The best find I ever had was a gold button worn by a British solider in the Revolutionary War.

@Spoonsy - You have been one of the best and nicest players on here from the get go. I am not being coy. I'm just extremely frustrated. There is a lot of play on words and visual clues. Like I said visual. As an artist we try to look at things for not what they are but for what they can become or represent. So I get these guys. If you are a technical person (like my husband) you are not going to get a lot of these clues.

If I tell you any more you will pick it up like that and say to yourself holy _____________!

 		Piece of advice
Save yourself a lot of time and frustration...go rent a really good metal detector because those old pull tabs will you drive you nuts! Make sure it can distinguish the different metals although I do not know how it will pick up the wood chest?

Good luck-you deserve it!
