Treasure Clue, can you help?

Carol,
Wish I could see the pelican on page 33. Could you explain a little more? Thanks.
 

Has anyone noticed In the poem on page 20/21 it says "Treasures tweleve for you to keep" There are two, maybe three errors. The first problem is there is no "y" in the word you. The second problem is the extra "e" in tweleve does not look like the rest of the e's, at the bottom of the letter, ?it looks more like a "p". Third, the first "e" in tweleve has a green blade of grass at the end while all other e's are black at the end. Maybe someone has mentioned this, maybe it is nothing, maybe I have been looking to hard. But I don't think this is an error, there is a reason for this, maybe an anagram?
 

People with hard cover first editions say they can see the "y" in you (or at least part of it) when they spread the pages. Those of us with paperbacks cannot see it, but I can see where the middle part of a blade of grass is missing in the center where the "you" should be. It looks like a printing problem. The same thing happened in my copy with the caterpillar on page 39.

Perhaps someone could suggest to the author that in any future publications that he not place clues in the center of an illustration that will become a two-page spread. At best one must break the book's spine to see the whole object, and at worse, it gets cut out in the binding process.
 

Litdoc, thanks for your insight. when i first saw it i said wow hummingbird! i didnt look to see any further. though im not giving up totally on the idea just yet. i may keep it for future thought. again this is what we need on this forum to keep everyone going on track. i would like others opinions on the hummingbird thing though. im also going to get feedback from others at work who are not on this hunt , which is everyone but me. i think that helps because their minds arent where ours are and they tend to see what we might not. thanks again. Gaines i didnt post the pelican . but am interested to look for it . i did post the hummingbird though, what do you think. anybody else please some feedback on this. wheres pancho when you need him.
 

Carol,

I'm here, had a nice long post that the internet gobbled up, and I am in the middle of one hellish day at work! ?:'( ?I'll get around to my thoughts again once I go on lunch!
 

Post 939: Well, there ought to be a spider on page 22, or else where did all those webs come from?

Now, if I can be imaginative (meaning not count body parts or compare to the other pair of hidden creatures in the book), then on page 33, I can see an ant to the left of the white thistle, a caterpillar to the right of the beatle's back-left leg, a grasshopper to the left of Stadther's signature, a spider in the lower left corner at the base of the green thistle bud, and a dragonfly in the design on the spider's back--but no pelican! ;)
 

Pancho:

Sorry did not mean to ignore your questions. My cable internet service vanished for about 8-14 hours (I of course assumed someone from here would probably have found all of the tokens during that time).

In answer to your question about the ladybug--I am operating under the assumption that the presence of a bug on a given page or in a chapter means the clues I am using in that chapter will lead me to that bug/token. May be wrong but makes sense to me. The clues I am using are in almost all cases on the same page as the hidden bugs.

As for the poem, I simply meant that I had much of the poem when I first arrived on the forum but not all of it. What's been posted here helped me obtain the entire poem, and I don't think there are any other poems sub or otherwise.

Someone asked about importance of so many acorns and I just wonder if that is telling us all the trees we should be looking for are oaks (or were oaks and now petrified)?

I think there is a spider on page 22 ( but THE Caterpillar rules the page) and there is a hummingbird on page 25 (even though it is the Dragonfly page). Now, what does it all mean??
 

Thanks, Gaines, you're scaring me now. Sometime back, somebody posted a neat little list of where the original bugs and their mates were located. I found them all so I assumed that was a correct list and have been operating under that impression ever since. If there are more bugs on other pages, or two on one page, I have no idea if we can possibly know which token a particular set of clues is leading us to.

Not that that matters--except that if you think you're going for the spider and you find you've invested $2,000 to only get the ladybug, you might be a tad peeved.

Gemini
 

I am new, but has anybody found out what to do with the clue on page 76.
 

Someone wrote earlier in a post about Hill, NH... I live in NH.... would they care to say how they came about Hill, NH
 

Gemini, I do not think there is any more than the one hidden pair of each creature. One can see lots of things if they look long enough, but unless they fit established patterns, they don't mean squat. I agree that between the (one) pair of critters are the clues to finding it. If we get side tracked from that, we will be spinning our wheels while someone else finds the tokens. People who have new theories might want to check some of the other forums to see if they are looking for similar clues. If not, they may beat us there. :(
 

Do you think on page > 52 "For the one that is missing you did not see" could be Pook


Please reply

here are the clues I found ;D
Okay, here you are. Hope this helps...
> page 10 Hidden well, no eye can see
> 16 Below sky and above earth be
> 20-21 Treasures tweleve for you to keep
> 22 Around the nation tweleve places to seek
> 25 Not on private property, nor in anyone's hands
> 31 Nothing to be disturbed thru the lands
> 33 Each is outside for you to find
> 38-39 No digging or prying, just reach inside
> 41 An even code with one piece wary (nary, Mary)
> 46 Will spell out the sanctuary
> 48 Within the text you have the key
> 52 For the one that is missing you did not see
> 59 A code of numbers, five to a side
> 63 Reveals the name where the treasures abide
> 66 With name in hand the fairies know
> 69 And they will show you where to go
> 77 ?there are thirteen
> 78 Seize you token and reach your goal
> 83 The secret is not half, but it is not whole

Note all of the obvious misspellings of twelEve. (Including in TofContents) why?
I guess the trick is now to deal with the code of numbers five to a side, and deal with an even code with one piece nary (missing) Hope this helped.

If anyone has clues from pgs 75, 76,and some of 77 i would appreciate it
 

K...back about the sub-poem....people who want to read more about it, Lyricalash gave a little clue....The hint he gave, posted on that forum is for people to solve it themselves for the sub-poem.....i am just trying to give people some pointers or finds that i come across and please DO try it before coming to a conclusion that it does not work or it is not true....i guess people who does not think or solve things tend to rule things out....and who in their mind would help people do everything and give out every clue so others can find the jewels.....

The Sub-Poem. Whether you think it is legit or not, please, no more fighting.

Have you know treasures three
Found by nine where they be
Numbers eleven within the book
Ten of them near the overlook
There they stand five a side
Two more places where they hide
One by one now you know
Four in column four in row
Now you know there are thirteen
Tweleve of which are still unseen
With six pence eight you will see
It was the seven that is the key

Well.... my goal is basically this:

1. Finish gathering the 10 numbers for my code of five to a side.

2. Fill the 25 box with the alphabet leaving out the 'Q'. I think that each grid will be unique. For example; in the first chapter grid with the Z. Starting from where the fairy points on the grid, place the letter Z and then go from there wrapping back around.

3. Place my 10 numbers around the outside of the box.

4. Use my instructions to figure it all out. I think that perhaps the sub-poem is as simple as just a group of coordinates.

5. Why are you asking me!!!! I don't have a token yet either. LOL

No one I know is "fighting" about the subpoem. People are inquiring where it came from. On this forum, people have shared detailed descriptions on where and how to find words in each line of the poem and where to find the 12 pairs of hidden creatures. We are just waiting for ANYONE to tell us how to find the lines of this so-called sub poem. If no explanation is offered, I would suggest that it is hog wash and someone wants to send others astray to give themselves more time to look for the tokens. ::)
