Hey guys, any new updates on Preiss's hidden keys? Was given the poems by a neighbor who knew I was into hunting. Now I'm older and able to spend more time researching and hunting, I'm working on some of these quests. Anyone got tidbits, clues, or advice on this particular challenge? Thanks

On the T.V. show Destination Truth the host Josh Gates had an episode where a few guys found one recently.

I also have taken up this challenge. I have several solves. I recently went to 2 locations and believe the boxes have been destroyed much like the one in Boston. I need Mr. Gates help for another.

I don't believe that all the cities are correct and that some pic and verse match are also incorrect.

So my advise is do not accept everything that others have stated as being the final solution. Derive your own conclusions.

thank you this is good information. I'll be working on solving in the near future. Waiting on the book, but your advice- where should I get photos of art to decipher? The book?

yes I also have been looking for these.. I'll say this I believe very strongly that the location of St Augustine is wrong and that several verse matches are also wrong. I have determined (at least to my own satisfaction) that New Orleans and Roanoke Island are no longer there.

Yes, I have many snippets of clues and obscure theories. Just ask, for starters San Francisco has finally opened up digging again and no one has found it so far, I seen a site that was advertising a dig and was welcoming anyone in the area to join, they had some pretty convincing clues and said they would drop the final clue when they are about to dig, so everyone can enjoy the puzzle free of charge. That was very nice of them, I will be there for sure just to see how it all plays out. It was in the middle of November in Golden Gate Park. That's all I know.
