beekrock came back to postulate some "what ifs" in early 2007.

I never replied to it, just like I never got in on the first thread (I joined right after he quit posting and folks were arguing and wondering where he'd gone and why). People have some powerful beliefs and one hesitates to mess with that.
Even tho his
final comment was pretty crappy, about "negative, jealous helpers" who are "still looking for dimes with $500 detectors" and "thinking about that enigmatic Beekrock character". I did some research and drew my conclusions pretty quickly, but have kept them to myself.
BUT the original thread WAS an 'epic tale' alright..............very creative and quite interesting. The most valuable part was the helpful information provided by all the experienced and imaginative T-Net members!!! That thread should be a reference for anyone involved in real estate treasure hunting!!!
Some expressed their admiration for playing it out so long, but Mark R. (
beekrock) Beekman obviously has 'long term focus', just look at the (former) largest lite-brite sculpture in the world he fabricated in 2006/2007. Took him over a year to build it. It sold on eBay, Dec 4, 2008, under his old ID,
jbbuysell for $4500 apparently earmarked for donation to the Milton & Catherine Hershey Heritage Foundation.

BUT, when not being an artist, he's working his own debt-collection company now,
AND he had to borrow $18,500 to "expand" last year.

WHAT IF he zipped through all the money he got from his "neighbor's hidden cache(s)", or it didn't turn out to be such a lucrative endeavor
I remember a lot of people were vicariously 'living the dream' after
beekrock bailed............ imagining basking on some tropical island with more money than Bill Gates or Warren Buffet. Heck, most of us would settle for being like Jimmy Buffet!!!!
There for a second I even thought he'd bought himself an island in the Bermuda area..........
