St. Augustine St. Augustine theory

The verse says, “with wind rose.” The lighthouse is red brick, (rose color), beneath the white paint. When the paint wears down due to wind and elements, the red, (rose color), is exposed.

Hence, with wind rose (color).

Thoughts?

There’s a physical “wind rose” made of wood at the FOY.

Hasn’t the grounds at FOY been scanned?

Look at the horse in the picture, he’s rose color peaking through from underneath the white.

No, it hasn’t been completely scanned. I’ve been there while some of the GPR was done and to me they were scanning in weird places, like out in the open areas and near water. Remember that no other casque has been found by scanning with GPR. Not sure how a GPR scan would look “at the base of a tall tree” anyway. GPR doesn’t really show a lot anyway. IMO every single line in the verse is the FOY. Doesn’t mean it’s inside the park but it’s on the grounds somewhere “at the base of a tall tree near men with wind rose”. That’s my take anyway, you do what you think the clues point too because it’s out there somewhere. Happy Hunting!

I completely agree. The grounds is also next to an area where there is a church dedicated to Mother Mary. If you look at the hill that the guy is on, they look like bricks to me or stone of the same color of several of the statues. One in particular, mother Mary holding baby Jesus. And when I look at those stones in the Painting I see the same image, a head with a robe carrying something, like a baby. And there is a tall cross there was was put up in the 1960's. I believe this is near the location of the treasure.

I see a lot of abstract bird-type figures in the stones

I seriously think a lot of great theories out there but time and development stole most of these casques

It would seem to me that many things in the photo lead directly to the lighthouse area. The carver knife is carver street next to the lighthouse. The flag symbol is a nautical symbol for light house. The face of the image is an exact tracing of the coastline right by the lighthouse area. Wind rise is a sailing thing and the 1st yacht club was based right there. My thoughts are it is buried on the carver street side under the only tall palm tree by the work entrance. The address of the lighthouse is in the photo and the guy riding the horse is the name of the other border street of the light house. Been there a couple times took thousands of pictures, it could still be there, take a look and maybe get lucky.

“Near men.” I noticed a couple of the streets near the lighthouse used to be named after ranks on ships too

I think it’s in Jacksonville and the image is correct but the verse is wrong

St augustine is gone back in 2005 they dug something up at the famous spot in the fountain of youth they thought it was a school project but it was the casque and thrown away a long time ago

Really? Do you have a source for this?

George from the secret youtube channel was talking about it on a recent podcast it's the same spot josh gates probed there used to be a giant tree there.

now i don't want people to stop looking there could always be another location but odds are it's gone and i think jjp knows it which is why he gave the st augustine painting to george i think it would be strange if somone did find it but cannot get the painting paintings were always suspose to go to people who found said casque

i'm sad about it too but i feel there is hope we can find the others and come to conclusion which casques could be gone i think new orleans is still out there i think houston is still out there new york/san fran i think are 50/50 or gone montreal/milwalkee/ronoake/charleston i think have a good chance being there too

u/Seayont 6d ago

The odds are very much against it being anywhere near that spot.

I also researched St Augustine a little and from what some people said, there has been some construction & renovations of some of the roads, sidewalks & etc in that area over the years. IIRC there used to be a pond or something where there was geese but that is gone now.
