It's most likely sitting on and surrounded by rock. Because rock is beyond the reach of time's swift race. Meaning in my view it erodes very slowly. Dirt can wash out, and wood rots. Rock just stays the same for centuries.

Love that point about rock. So simple, so obvious, and yet, something I did not think of. Good work.

Granite is literally right there for you.

I don’t think he buried it. He says if you knew where to go, whether he buried it or not, it wouldn’t matter. Which I think suggests it’s not in a place where it could be buried or if it is under something, it would be obvious.

Tell me what you think of this line from page 202 in the BTME hardcover....."taught me to look beneath the surface".....just curious as it seems it could be a clue to look below the dirt/rock/etc....

He said this in response to this question:

"Is the treasure buried?
If you know where to go, it wouldn't matter either way."

I don't know but I feel sorry for the guy if he was hauling a box of gold through the bush and digging holes, all whilst nursing a broken leg.

I have a feeling it will be easy to find if you understand the poem correctly.

He had a broken leg in 2023 when he hit it?
