There is no #1 and no #3 ciphers, there's just enough there as a back up plan to keep the game going, all part of the plan. The DOI-Key is #1 and you get #3 with the treasure for it can easily be "found". In the letters, BEALE speaks with a wink,so to say, which would be beneficial hereafter...come on people.
All true if you use the decipher method as the second is decoded, and fall into their plan, but in reality
Beale was a military man who invented a smaller 5 disc wheel to compress the actual larger codex into a portable device. He then sold it to the Spanish Army and then the Confederates adapted this as their coding system soon after.
Take a count of the sets of the numbers in the codes....they all add up to intervals of 5 or 0....that means the pattern that is there is made from a 5 number sequence
for example.....numbers 12, 123, 354, 76 really =
12123 35476 in this pattern.....they are then entered into the wheel to derive the actual lettered message.
how cool to learn something new.....
when you are ready to rock and roll through the clues pick up the phone and stop being a stranger...i'm willing to collaborate but I know your a solo artist, so think about it.
I have the property owner's name and address at the Vault and the 30 troves, and we can easily proposition him for 50/50 split to let us dig.
just sayin...the DOI is included, but there is an entire set of 18 mines out west that I have located as well to be included in the find, so guess what.....nothing to lose asking him to let us dig, as we can easily claim the mines if he says no, and they were said to be 20% gold by volume......
