I came here thinking i could find someone serious about the Beale, to share ACTUAL proof of solution with and go dig the treasure up. It's a simple thing, solve cipher #1 , follow the directions and start digging right?
Then I come and read all this BS. "I SOLVED IT" ETC ETC.
WELL.. we are waiting... where's the gold?
"OH it's a 2 part crypto.." etc etc.. Bull--it.
The solve is simple, it's a word for word swap cipher, there's no "maybe" or "almost" if you solve it there's is no mistake.
If you ACTUALLY solve cipher#1 you will also learn the origination of the treasure and know for certain it is real even before digging. These are FACTS.
SO, in short:
1. If you "think" you solved it with the DOI you are WRONG.
2. IF you think it's a complicated solve, you are WRONG.
3. If you think anyone posting here has any clue at all, you are WRONG.
Now of course , I am just another self claimed know-it all newbie, why bother listening to me right?
We can compare my finds with yours but I doubt that would help lol.
So lets just agree its true, Im just another blowhard... but... take my word for one fact ... everyone here is WRONG. Lol... if they found a 5 ton treasure you would know.
