If the treasure is real its probably around Laymanton or Webster. The amount that is spoken of is substantial it would take more then one person to hide as described. There was only a few roads in that area it would not be too far off of one of them. You can't easily lug that much stuff up or down a mountain. It would of also take at least a full day of digging to make a vault as described. But you also want to be far enough away that no one will stumble upon you hiding it or after its hidden. If you find where the old road was it should be able to narrow down the location by quite a bit. The next clue is that there is probably only 6ft or so of overburden before you hit bedrock and it says the buried stuff twice in I'm assuming the same spot is its likely even shallower. I am not sure of the geology in that area but hopefully some of these thoughts help someone out find it if it exists. Personally I think its probably 70-40 that the story is either fake or exaggerated to sell the treasure pamphlets. Another thought is that if its real the code would come from a book or writing that would of been well known at the time or to the friend. One more possibility is that there was an original treasure and was either found or was not able to be found and the undeciphered codes in the pamphlet here faked to keep people off the real trail. If you were leaving a coded message why would you not use the same code for all three messages
Just my thoughts on it.
