"207411150" the largest number in the Beale code, could this be a key?
To all the Beale Hunters
This number is the largest number in the Beale code 207411150 could this be a key to the location of the vault, maybe , maybe not?. Masons used symbols and geometric shapes in their craft. (Beale states), "The vault is in the county of Bedford about four miles from Bufords Tavern in an excavation or vault six feet below the surface of the ground. Bufords Tavern is a definite reference point meant to be used in the decipherment of the location of the vault. The county boundaries I believe were already established when Beale buried his treasure, so the treasure cannot be to the west of Bufords Tavern, as four miles would put you out of Bedford county in most of the western areas of the county, so that leaves approx. about 180Deg of the pie out of bounds. After not being able to used the potatoe cave, he knew of another spot, which he surveyed out
Beale surveyed out the surrounding valley of Mountvale and probably used a masonic symbol. Certain numbers in the code "I believe" reference a masonic symbol created/surveyed from certain compass points in the surrounding mountain tops/gaps, places (Tavern of the Blackhorse, possibly)? around Montvale valley. (For example, the golden rectangle, the square, compass and trowel, the triangle, the star, anyone of these symbols could have been used and Bufords Tavern ties into it)
One of these symbols was used and surveyed out accordingly to pinpoint the exact location of the vault ( at approx. four miles out). That is the reason for the numbers in the code. Of course if you were a Mason the numbers in the code may be more evident and the symbol used would be easier to decipher, once you found the starting point, one thing for sure Bufords Tavern is identified by one of the numbers in the code. The trick I believe is to find the geometric symbol used by Beale (a Mason) that would place the treasure about four miles out. In masonic temples cardinal points of the compass apply to the craft, G stands for geometry, etc., and if I were a Mason burying a treasure meant to found by other members of my party I would bury it according to the craft, Masonic allegory, symbology etc.
I have such a survey that utilizes a Masonic symbol, which places the vault about four miles out from Bufords Tavern on a 1:24,000 scale topographical quadrangle map of the Mountvale area using surrounding gaps and mountain points. I have not got to check it out yet as I live in Northern Kentucky and it is hard for me to get down to Mountvale Va. to check out my research and spend enough time searching with proper equipment.
However I will mention I have surveyed one of these symbols out before which put me on Porter Mountain at approx. 4 miles out from Bufords Tavern. I was not successful in finding anything do to time constrainths and improper equipment for locating a deep cache. I would still like to check this area out some more. I always plot Bufords Tavern into any symbol I survey as I feel the tavern is referenced by Thomas Jefferson Beale and is meant to be used in finding the location of the vault.
