Another number found?

Ugh, lacking very much in information useful to anyone. If it's real, and she's in Indiana, my guess is it's the clown's floor. I don't have the book with me so I can't give you a number.

Sorry I haven't posted before now. I got back from my dig 9 minutes before I had to pick up my daughter from the school bus. I haven't gotten much of a chance to sit down since then and wanted to email Gus before posting it on the forum here.
The floor was the clown floor (7th).
State: Indiana
Highway: 80/90

Congrats, varin! One question... how high off the ground was the little pentagonal tree tag? Was it close to the ground, eye level, or high up?

Congratulations on your find! and a beautiful number it is. I was wondering if it would be silver given the drawing on the back of the book. Looks like those are fairly close to the real thing.
Also great job on figuring that one out. It had me stumped with all the different numbers and I thought it might be New York (Coney Island). I see the 56, but where did you get 80/90 from?

Someone has suggested that there are 80 balloons on Jigsy's wall. Personally, I started nodding off every time i get up around 70+...

Haha, I was just coming here to post that. My average count is 78, but some of those blue ones are tricky.

I think the 4th floor is:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
State -DE HWY 95 Mile 5
HWY 95 is one of very few try "Highways" in Delaware. and 95 only runs through it for a very short distance.
rest stop is located exactly there.
520 jfk memorial hwy
Newark DE 19702 if you find it tell 'em who sent ya!

I'm just going off of Google maps so it may be off, but I have that as mile 3. Not that it would stop me from looking if I lived over that way.

Can someone with an account on Tweleve please repost the pictures of the emeralds found? Apparently you need an account there to look at them.

I'll guess Idaho next (ninth floor), but only because I think Ohio has gone missing (sixth floor). I also think they're on to something in Texas (second floor).

Sorry, I can't access Tweleve at work but I will copy the images when I can. If you search Flickr for 'Clock without a Face' some of them are on there.
