Why "Fourth of July in 1820"?
Too much coincidence going on.

What coincidences?
But with that lever and gunpowder, I reckon a whole lot of shakin' was going on!

Well, spent time in Forest, Va. Library; R & I on MANY books on HISTORY of Bedford County, Va.; NOTHING on Beale Treasure/Ciphers. FAKE NEWS! FICTION! Waste of time...

 

[Rebel - KGC]

Gotta go on OLD road next to GOOSE CREEK; read somewhere that it was "blocked off" & something was buried in the "dry spot", then covered with a HUGE white Quartz or Feld-spar stone. Creek water was then released to cover HUGE white Quartz/Feld-spar stone. I NEVER looked for it... BUT!

Well, spent time in Forest, Va. Library; R & I on MANY books on HISTORY of Bedford County, Va.; NOTHING on Beale Treasure/Ciphers. FAKE NEWS! FICTION! Waste of time...

I hope this will help. Just add the info about Indian artifacts northwest in Sharp top and the location of Black Horse tavern(plot it). Or trying searching for "Twin Oaks" on google, or "Blazed Oak on Dooley Brothers Land".

Just a tale as they say. No provenance found, though I do love if people found one, or verified some given.

I found a QUESTIONABLE solution using the Columbus First Voyage that may be just a product of my imagination, there are data mentioned that I have verified after a year of research but still, we lack evidence. For me finding a sign that the place was altered, or any equipment's left such as ropes, shovel or spoons, I would think that it was really that area. Though better ask Bedford for permission to investigate.

If you are interested, here is the exact locality of the vault..

And lovely as trees are in Hispaniola appeared, and that the coast led northward peaks incomparably higher than in centre isle. Vast mines
of gold and other metals in this island, and there are many kinds of birds and a great variety of fruits that isle toward the west. To make
for the south to find out whether there was any king or large city, but with no kind of government, and that the coast led northward, the fourth(this is 4 miles), fail to see some great cities and lovely as trees are in Spain.

I have taken possession set in lovely as trees are in Spain, nor are they fit for them. ReJOiced at the glorious success that our Lord
has given and finding at the end of a few small settlements where it was impossible to speak to the eastward, and succeeded in talking to them.
I gave them some of everything I had. Me in my voyage I have taken possession for their higHNess, that they seem to touch the sky, that they never lose their foliage, thus to each one that I thought it might be the mainland opposition to the display of the Royal Standard in the
centre isle, of his divine majesty. In my voyage I have taken possession for their highness, and there the Indies Highness, Fifth Juana, which I
gave the name of HispaNIola. so high that they seem to touch the sky.

Full paragraph untranslated and translated is in other thread. Note that I am not claiming that I solved it, just giving a data that may or may not be valuable to researchers out there. I hope that it would increase the tourism in Bedford.

It will be jibberish, but everything was there including the purchase of the Harkening Hill, the giving of Harkening Hill, the Aid of Indians, their journey with Indians, Giving of personal things to them, the giving of names and residences to Mary, The buying and giving of the Hill etc...Still, no solid proof, just documents.

Visit the peaks of Otter Winery, I am sure you guys would love to talk to Mr. Danny Johnson.
