One, two. 327 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,280 To quote my favorite Milwaukee based sitcom, 328 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,280 we're going to do it. 329 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,280 Now, 17, 18, 19. 330 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,280 18, 29, 30. 331 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:35,280 65, 66, 67, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92. 332 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,280 How about that? 333 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,280 92

Pass the compass. 338 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,280 A lighthouse. 339 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,280 Not just any lighthouse. 340 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,280 This is the north point lighthouse. 341 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,280 Compass points north. 342 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:54,280 Exactly right. 343 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,280 I mean, that's pretty good. 344 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,280 Byron's clever wordplay transformed the north point 345 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,280 lighthouse into a north pointing compass. 346 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:03,280 Got to be here. 347 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:04,280 This is a nice compass. 348 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,280 This is the center of the park. 349 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,280 Byron was here. 350 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:09,280 No doubt about it. 351 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,280 The next part of the verse is a nightmare. 352 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,280 It mentions the foot of a culvert going below a bridge 353 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,280 and walking 100 paces to the first young birch. 354 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,280 But there are five bridges, multiple culverts, 355 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,280 and a lot of trees. 356 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,280 This is literally a culvert right here. 357 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,280 So for the next four hours, James and I get deep 358 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,280 into the madness of the secret. 359 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,280 9, 10, 11, 11. 360 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,280 Below the bridge, walk 100 paces southeast 361 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,280 over rock and soil. 362 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,280 This spits us right back out on the Lincoln. 363 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,280 Yep. 364 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,280 To the first young birch. 365 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,280 That might have been it right there. 366 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:47,280 Yep. 367 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,280 I think it is a birch too. 368 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,280 No, it's not. 369 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,280 The birch tree may well be a critical clue, 370 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,280 especially since there appears to be one embedded in the image. 371 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,280 So much stuff here that's been cut down. 372 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,280 I mean, you see fell trees everywhere. 373 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,280 But birch trees die young, 374 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,280 and the park has been re-landscaped over the years. 375 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:13,280 So we take our best guess and walk forward to the next clue. 376 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,280 Pass three, staying west. 377 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,280 Three, three. 378 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,280 Pass the three. 379 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:26,280 On a proud tall fifth at its southern foot, the treasure waits. 380 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,280 A proud tall fifth. 381 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,280 A proud tall fifth, what, a fifth birch? 382 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,280 Could it be a note, a fifth note? 383 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,280 Isn't that a thing of music? 384 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:33,280 Fifth of whiskey. 385 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,280 Right, a fifth of whiskey. 386 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,280 It's the way we're coming this way, right? 387 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,280 We're walking, we pass the three. 388 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,280 Lion? 389 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,280 Let me see the image for a second. 390 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,280 God, this is a bad thing. 391 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,280 Look at this. 392 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:56,280 I think she's the lion. 393 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,280 Look at her. 394 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,280 Oh, yeah, the face is even the same angle. 395 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:01,280 Yes. 396 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,280 Look at her hair. 397 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,280 She's the lion. 398 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,280 I think you're right, for sure. 399 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,280 Even the shape of her mouth. 400 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:07,280 Yep. 401 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,280 Nobody's figured that out before, by the way. 402 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:10,280 Really? 403 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,280 Yeah. 404 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,280 All right, I'll take it. 405 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:13,280 You got a piece of it. 406 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,280 I got a piece of the puzzle. 407 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,280 And it says, on a proud tall fifth at its southern foot, 408 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,280 the treasure waits, and the feet of the lion are so prominent. 409 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,280 What's the zodiac for Leo? 410 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,280 Is it the fifth zodiac sign? 411 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,280 It starts with Aries, right? 412 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,280 Hold on. 413 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:32,280 Google. 414 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:37,280 Order of astrological sciences, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo. 415 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,280 Get out of town. 416 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,280 It's the fifth zodiac. 417 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,280 It could be a fifth. 418 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,280 It's a lion. 419 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,280 A lion could be a fifth. 420 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,280 It's buried under a lion. 421 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,280 It's buried under a lion. 422 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,280 Let's get the probe. 423 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,280 Let's get the probe. 424 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,280 But just as we seem to be closing in on the secrets of the secret, 425 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,280 Mother Nature decides to throw us a curve ball. 426 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,280 Holding the metal rod in a lightning storm. 427 00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,280 You're supposed to do that, right? 428 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:00,280 Yeah. 429 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,280 OK, here we go. 430 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:07,280 What do you got? 431 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:08,280 These hits everywhere here. 432 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:09,280 Really? 433 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,280 There's something here three feet down. 434 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,280 Come on, Byron. 435 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:23,280 Give it up. 436 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:27,280 What are you hitting? 437 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,280 Man, that looks like something. 438 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,280 I think it's right here. 439 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,280 There's something here three feet down. 440 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,280 I'm ensnared in the puzzles of the secret, 441 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,280 a book of clues leading to 12 buried treasure boxes. 442 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,280 James Renner has brought me to Milwaukee's Lake Park, 443 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,280 where veiled landmarks and signs 444 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,280 lead us to the southern foot of this lion statue. 445 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,280 And now, it's the moment of truth. 446 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,280 What are you hitting? 447 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,280 Man, that looks like something. 448 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:05,280 I think it's right here. 449 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,280 Does it feel like plexiglass? 450 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:16,280 No. 451 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,280 It's a rock. 452 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,280 It's a rock? 453 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,280 Are you out here? 454 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,280 I don't think it's here. 455 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,280 I don't see a treasure box. 456 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,280 You got lightning strikes. 457 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,280 OK, let's call it. 458 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,280 Josh, the gear's getting soaked. 459 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,280 Yeah, let's get out of the lightning. 460 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,280 Yeah, we gotta get out of here. 461 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:40,280 All right, come on. 462 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:44,280 Let's go right into the lightning. 463 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,280 Come on. 464 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,280 Come on. 465 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,280 We take shelter from the storm, 466 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,280 having cracked a clue from the puzzle 467 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,280 and finding the treasure just out of reach. 468 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,280 This is how it goes in the world of the secret. 469 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,280 James will continue the hunt in Milwaukee, 470 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,280 while I turn the page to discover critical clues 471 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,280 hiding in the harbor of New York City. 472 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,280 At the foggy docks of Battery Park, 473 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,280 I board a nearly empty ferry. 474 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,280 Morning. 475 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,280 Where I'm meeting the only two people 476 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,280 who truly know the mind of the puzzle master Byron Price, 477 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,280 his daughters. 478 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,280 Hello. 479 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,280 Hi. 480 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,280 I'm Josh. 481 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,280 Blair, nice to meet you. 482 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,280 Blair, how are you? 483 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,280 Tara, nice to meet you. 484 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:29,280 Tara, how are you? 485 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,280 This is a super spooky morning. 486 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:31,280 Tara, New York. 487 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,280 You know, I'm knee deep in your father's puzzle here. 488 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,280 Do you think that he would be surprised today 489 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,280 to know that people are still looking for this? 490 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:40,280 Yeah, absolutely. 491 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,280 I think that he thought that people would find it very quickly. 492 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,280 I think he thought that the puzzles were like a lot easier 493 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:46,280 than they are. 494 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,280 Right. 495 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,280 People get so hung up on the treasure itself. 496 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,280 Tell me about the core of the book. 497 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,280 I would say the book is about immigration. 498 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,280 Every puzzle that's in there is representative 499 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:57,280 of a different immigrant group. 500 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,280 Right. 501 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,280 While the 12 paintings and poems drive the hunt, 502 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,280 the preamble to the secret gives the treasure 503 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,280 a mythological origin. 504 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,280 It tells the tale of the fair people, 505 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,280 fairy creatures who left Europe and settled in the New World, 506 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,280 where they hid 12 precious treasure boxes. 507 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,280 This was Byron Price's heartfelt framing 508 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,280 for his one-of-a-kind game. 509 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,280 Yeah, no, honestly, there's no better place to be than Ellis Island. 510 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:22,280 Right. 511 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:23,280 Probably to talk about him. 512 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,280 I get it now. 513 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,280 No more famous immigrant hub in America than right here. 514 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,280 Nearly 40% of Americans have a family connection to Ellis Island. 515 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,280 Between 1892 and 1958, 516 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,280 more than 12 million immigrants journeyed to the island of hope, 517 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,280 seeking the American dream. 518 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,280 And your family came through here, right? 519 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,280 Uh-huh. 520 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,280 Our dad's dad. 521 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,280 And that's what I think made my dad so obsessed 522 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,280 with the immigration story. 523 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,280 The more that I learn about your father, 524 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,280 the more I understand that this is really about heritage 525 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,280 and with him connecting back to his roots in a way. 526 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,280 Definitely. 527 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,280 Each park and city that Byron hid a treasure in 528 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,280 celebrates a different immigrant group, 529 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,280 the Irish in Chicago, 530 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,280 the German immigrants who helped settle Milwaukee, 531 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,280 and here in New York, Jewish immigrants, 532 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,280 like the relatives of Byron Price. 533 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,280 This is actually my family. 534 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,280 That's why Cara and Blair have brought me here, 535 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,280 because of the personal connection to their father 536 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,280 and his own immigrant history. 537 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,280 Obviously, his life was tragically cut short. 538 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,280 This is now a legacy that lives on. 539 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,280 I think that this book sort of asks his readers 540 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,280 to stop and take a second to appreciate your surroundings. 541 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,280 And appreciate where you've come from. 542 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,280 Yeah, absolutely. 543 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,280 Is there any doubt in your mind that one of the boxes is here? 544 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,280 So he did say in a very fatherly way, 545 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,280 where would daddy bury a treasure? 546 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,280 And so in New York, and of course, 547 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,280 it would be crazy if he didn't bury a treasure in New York. 548 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,280 Right. 549 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,280 And so in which illustration do you think is the New York illustration? 550 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,280 The last illustration. 551 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,280 This, you think, leads to the New York box? 552 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,280 Absolutely. 553 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,280 Yeah. 554 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,280 I think the woman in the photo has the face of the Statue of Liberty. 555 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,280 Oh, yeah. 556 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,280 She does. 557 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:18,280 I think the bottom of her dress sort of outlines the shape of Manhattan. 558 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,280 That's really compelling. 559 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,280 He said that for the New York one, 560 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,280 where you're standing, where the treasure is buried, 561 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,280 you can see all of the features that are in that illustration. 562 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,280 You can see them all from the digspot. 563 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,280 Yeah, from the digspot in the New York one. 564 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:35,280 Yeah. 565 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,280 Okay, that's really intriguing. 566 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,280 To do a bit of investigating for the New York box, 567 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,280 I'm bidding farewell to Byron's daughters 568 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,280 and heading across the water to Wall Street, 569 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,280 where some think the clues point to the treasure. 570 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:56,280 The poem portion of the New York puzzle starts off with a doozy of a clue. 571 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,280 In the shadow of the Grey Giant, 572 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,280 find the arm that extends over the slender path. 573 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,280 Now, the most obvious choice for the Grey Giant is the Statue of Liberty, 574 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,280 but she's obviously green and not gray. 575 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,280 This could also be the Grey Giant, 576 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,280 the Statue of George Washington, 577 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,280 a giant of American history. 578 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,280 And we see that Washington's arm is outstretched over Wall Street, 579 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:22,280 and Wall Street is one of the most narrow streets of Lower Manhattan. 580 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,280 Look down the slender path, and what do you see at the end? 581 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,280 A clock that looks a lot like the clock from the image one. 582 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,280 You get down to the end of Wall Street, and you find this. 583 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,280 This is the Trinity Church, one of the oldest churches in New York City, 584 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,280 and very much tied to the next clue in the puzzle. 585 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,280 It says the sign nearby speaks of Indies native. 586 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:47,280 Now, there's only one person that could be the most famous Indies native in American history, 587 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,280 is Alexander Hamilton, who immigrated here from the West Indies. 588 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,280 He went on to found the U.S. Treasury. 589 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,280 He's the guy in the front of the $10 bill, 590 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,280 and the star of a Broadway musical that for some reason I still cannot get to. 591 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,280 But the point is, there are signs of his name here at the Trinity Church, 592 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,280 because he's actually buried here in the graveyard. 593 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,280 And just beyond is Bowling Green Park, 594 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,280 one of the most famous and most historic parks in the city. 595 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:16,280 Bowling Green Park is actually the oldest park in the city. 596 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,280 It's also reportedly where the Dutch bought the island of Manhattan from the Native Americans, 597 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,280 so it really fits with Byron's immigration theme. 598 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,280 And the park also has kind of a V shape, 599 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,280 which fits with the next line of the puzzle, which mentions one branch of the V. 600 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:34,280 And then, well, and then it all falls apart. 601 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,280 Even though you can see some of the clues from here, 602 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,280 you could even see Alice Island, or the Statue of Liberty on a clear day. 603 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:44,280 There's plenty of other things in this poem that don't seem to appear here at all. 604 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,280 In other words, you've got one illustration, 605 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:52,280 12 lines of verse, and infinite possibilities. 606 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,280 Endless interpretation. 607 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,280 It's the curse of the secret. 608 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,280 Sure, the treasure box could be in Manhattan, 609 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,280 but some think it's in Brooklyn. 610 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,280 Sometimes it's hard to separate the facts from, well, bull. 611 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,280 The New York puzzle remains one of the hardest and seems far from being solved. 612 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,280 Before I tackle another puzzle from the secret, I'm heading to Cleveland 613 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,280 to meet the one person who might hold the key to all the secrets. 614 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:23,280 To meet the one person who might hold the key to all the puzzles. 615 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,280 The book's illustrator, John Jude Palincar. 616 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,280 Josh, how are you? 617 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,280 How are you? 618 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,280 Oh, look at this. 619 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,280 These are the originals. 620 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,280 Look at this. 621 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,280 Look at this. 622 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,280 These are the originals. 623 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,280 Yes, these are the original paintings. 624 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,280 They're bigger than I expected, and they're beautiful in person. 625 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,280 I'm just outside of Cleveland, Ohio at the studio of a claimed painter, 626 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,280 John Jude Palincar. 627 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,280 I'm hoping he could help me unravel the secret, 628 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:58,280 the 80s-era puzzle that makes the Rubik's Cube look like child's play. 629 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:03,280 After all, John was hired by the book's author to create its cryptic illustrations. 630 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,280 Simple question first, if you could just tell me where the treasures are buried. 631 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,280 I'm sorry, I can't. 632 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:10,280 Oh, okay, I'm sorry. 633 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:11,280 I have to kill you if I... 634 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:12,280 Oh, okay, I understand. 635 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,280 You know, I had to take a crack at it. 636 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,280 In 2011, Byron Price traveled to parks around the country, 637 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,280 jotting down notes and photographing key landmarks. 638 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,280 He would return later, disguised as a maintenance worker, 639 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,280 to sneak in and bury the treasure boxes. 640 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,280 How would this work? 641 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:30,280 He would send you things? 642 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,280 He would send me a folder, a dossier, if you will. 643 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,280 It would contain numerous photographs. 644 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,280 There would be a sheet of things that should be included in the painting. 645 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,280 John would receive the pictures and a set of instructions 646 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,280 and incorporate them into his paintings. 647 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:50,280 He never saw the burial sites or even Byron's original notes. 648 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,280 With Byron's tragic passing, 649 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,280 John became the only person with some knowledge of the puzzles. 650 00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:02,280 Can you give me any hint as to where any of the remaining boxes are buried? 651 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:07,280 Beyond signing contracts to say I can't say anything, I am legally bound. 652 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,280 Right. 653 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,280 But I wouldn't tell anybody because he's my friend. 654 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,280 Yeah. 655 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,280 And this is his legacy. 656 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,280 Kind of being loyal. 657 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:17,280 Exactly. 658 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:18,280 Yeah. 659 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,280 I burned all the photos. 660 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:20,280 Why? 661 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,280 All his notes because it wasn't meant to be seen once it was done. 662 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,280 Like any good spy, you destroy the evidence. 663 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,280 This is like Watergate. 664 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,280 It's been 37 years now. 665 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,280 Don't remind me. 666 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,280 Sorry. 667 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,280 37 years, yeah. 668 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,280 Are you surprised that only two of the 12 boxes were found? 669 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,280 I try to figure some of them out and I can't figure them out. 670 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,280 I've read through the verses. 671 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:43,280 That's crazy. 672 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,280 In fact, John would be very pleased if people stopped trying to reach out to him 673 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,280 with their pet theories about the puzzles. 674 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,280 I do not know where these treasures are buried. 675 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,280 Please stop writing. 676 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,280 Please. 677 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:56,280 Please. 678 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,280 Does John know more than he lets on? 679 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,280 Perhaps. 680 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:06,280 But I respect his commitment to his friend and to keeping the secret hush hush. 681 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:16,280 He is able to connect me to someone else who knows a thing or two about the secret. 682 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,280 One of the guys who dug up the only other box ever to be recovered. 683 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,280 Meet Andy Abrams. 684 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,280 We're here at the Cleveland Cultural Gardens, 685 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,280 a shrine to immigrant groups from around the world. 686 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,280 Andy is a lawyer from New Jersey 687 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:34,280 and in 2004, his co-worker convinced him to take on a curious case, 688 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,280 solving one of the puzzles in the secret. 689 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,280 I had a guy who used to work next to me named Brian Zinn. 690 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,280 Very intelligent guy, always looking for diversions. 691 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,280 He comes into my office one day and he pulls out a copy of this book. 692 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,280 And what did you think when you heard about this thing? 693 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,280 I thought he was insane and I would dismiss him as quickly as possible so I could get back to work. 694 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,280 Right, okay. 695 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,280 You were not a treasure hunter by trade. 696 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,280 No. 697 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:04,280 Brian looked at the images and poems and realized that this one had Cleveland written all over it, literally. 698 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,280 The outline of the city's terminal tower is hidden upside down in the trees. 699 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:13,280 Brian was convinced and lucky for us, they videotaped their search. 700 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:25,280 The clues led them to this wall, hidden in plain sight in the painting. 701 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,280 The poem told them right where to dig. 702 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,280 Seven steps up, you can hop from the bottom level. 703 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:36,280 One, two, three, four, five, six. 704 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:40,280 Now you've got to hop that last step, it's going to be in here. 705 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,280 And then you start counting the stones. 706 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:43,280 Correct. 707 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,280 The verse said the box was beneath the tenth stone from right to left. 708 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,280 Brian went immediately to work. 709 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:54,280 Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. 710 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,280 So your belief, I believe that the treasure is somewhere right here. 711 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,280 In this area. 712 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,280 And you're prepared to dig to China today. 713 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,280 And there's something right here. 714 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,280 We jump into the box. 715 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,280 That's not a good sign. 716 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:15,280 And by the time we hit bottoms, we hit concrete and there was nothing there. 717 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,280 We didn't even know if there was a treasure at that point. 718 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:25,280 Andy's friend Brian was so crushed that he literally sat down on the curb with his head in his hands. 719 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,280 Right about then, a light bulb went off in Andy's head. 720 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:38,280 I turned to face the street and I said, you know, Brian, if you count the ten stones from right to left from the base where we started, 721 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,280 that takes you ten stones over. 722 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,280 Excuse me. 723 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,280 It would have put you in this spot. 724 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:51,280 And I started poking with the prodding tool in three strokes and I hit something. 725 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,280 There's an actual plexiglass box. 726 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:03,280 Within about 25 minutes, we unearthed a plexiglass box that had been buried 22 years earlier, 727 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,280 waiting for somebody to find it. 728 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,280 Yeah. 729 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,280 And we did. 730 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,280 Yeah. 731 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,280 I'm like getting emotional listening to you tell the story. 732 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:16,280 No, I really am because it's so, it's so hard and you did it. 733 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,280 I think for as much research as you do, you got to get a little lucky. 734 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,280 Yeah. 735 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:31,280 And to tap through and to literally strike treasure, Brian said, other than the birth of my kids, this is the greatest moment of my entire life. 736 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,280 And just like me, they're still obsessing over the puzzles. 737 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:43,280 Now they believe they're about to solve another and I'm not going to pass up the chance to watch two masters on the cusp of a second treasure box. 738 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:50,280 And so we're off this time to page 40 of the secret, otherwise known as St. Augustine, Florida. 739 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,280 I'm going with the guys who found a box before. 740 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,280 So we'll lightning strike twice. 741 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,280 Hot on the trail of one of Byron Price's legendary puzzles from the secret. 742 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,280 I've traveled to St. Augustine, Florida. 743 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:16,280 It's where the treasure hunters who dug up Price's box in Cleveland believe another is ready for the taking. 744 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:29,280 Well, St. Augustine may be America's oldest city, but in many ways, she is forever young. 745 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:35,280 That's because in 1513 Spanish explorer, Ponce de Leon came here, reportedly searching for the Fountain of Youth. 746 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:41,280 And 350 years later, they turned the spot where he landed into the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park. 747 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:47,280 And in many ways, this place fits the profile perfectly for one of the hidden boxes. 748 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:52,280 So the question is, does hope spring eternal at the Fountain of Youth? 749 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,280 Andy, hello. 750 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:56,280 Hey, how are you, man? 751 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,280 It's good to see you. 752 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,280 It's a lot more humid here than Cleveland. 753 00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,280 A little bit. 754 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,280 This is Brian Zinn. 755 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:01,280 Hi, Josh. 756 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:02,280 How are you? 757 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,280 This is the gentleman who went to Cleveland with him and found the treasure map. 758 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,280 Congratulations. 759 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:06,280 Okay. 760 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:07,280 And this is John Frazier. 761 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,280 He's one of the owners and runs the Fountain of Youth Park. 762 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:11,280 Terrific. 763 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,280 Okay, so question one. 764 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:14,280 Why here? 765 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:21,280 Well, if you look here in the clouds, in the white space, you can see the state of Florida. 766 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:22,280 Uh-huh. 767 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:23,280 Yeah, right here. 768 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:24,280 Right. 769 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:25,280 Okay. 770 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,280 There's also somebody who looks like Ponce de Leon. 771 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:34,280 The very first line of the verse is, the first chapter written in water. 772 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:35,280 Right. 773 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,280 What does that mean? 774 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:41,280 Well, the words, the first chapter is actually written on the entrance gate to the park. 775 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,280 First thing you see, first thing on the verse. 776 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:44,280 Right. 777 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:49,280 And written in water could imply the park's celebrated Fountain of Youth, which flows out 778 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,280 of a spring nearby. 779 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,280 Stars move by day. 780 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,280 Where is that? 781 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,280 That's the planetarium right over here. 782 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,280 A place where literally you can see stars during the day. 783 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:00,280 Absolutely. 784 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:05,280 There's no doubt in my mind that we're in the right place. 785 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:09,280 But the thing that is scaring me is that you got a big park here, John. 786 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,280 Yeah, a lot of things. 787 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,280 So how do you know where to put a shovel? 788 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,280 He specifically tells you where the treasure is. 789 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,280 He says, behind bending branches and a green picket fence. 790 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,280 The clues are all around us. 791 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:27,280 A canopy of bending branches runs along the park and a green picket fence stands just 792 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:28,280 a few feet away. 793 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:33,280 Okay, now the key, the clutch line at the base of a tall tree. 794 00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,280 And I have a problem now. 795 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,280 We got like a million tall trees here. 796 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,280 So how do you narrow this down? 797 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,280 How do you figure out which tall tree? 798 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:46,280 35 years of landscaping means new trees have been planted and trees that were here in the 799 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,280 80s are gone. 800 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,280 Finding the final marker is not going to be easy. 801 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,280 No pun intended, I'm stumped. 802 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,280 And for that, we have a secret weapon. 803 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,280 You have a secret weapon? 804 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:56,280 Secret weapon. 805 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,280 Oh, I like secret weapons. 806 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,280 Josh, why don't you introduce you to Steve and Sean from Geoview. 807 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:05,280 How are you, man? 808 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,280 Nice to meet you. 809 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,280 Sean, nice to meet you. 810 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,280 I like the look of this. 811 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:09,280 This is GPR, yeah? 812 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,280 Yes, this is ground penetrating radar. 813 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:17,280 Ground penetrating radar, GPR, is very good at picking up electrical contrast in the soil. 814 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,280 So if somebody dug down here and buried something and filled it in, this unit can see that? 815 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,280 It can see soil disturbances, yes. 816 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,280 Okay, so what's the move? 817 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,280 What do we do? 818 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:26,280 We just start walking. 819 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:27,280 So you want to take the ring? 820 00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:28,280 Oh, please. 821 00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:29,280 Are you kidding? 822 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,280 I'd love to. 823 00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,280 Here we go. 824 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:32,280 I'm going to do my best not to break this. 825 00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:33,280 Let's start walking. 826 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:38,280 Purists may consider GPR an unfair advantage, but three decades have passed and the final 827 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,280 clue is tied to a tree we can't trace. 828 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,280 We're all out of options. 829 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:44,280 We passed that tree. 830 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,280 We start seeing these isolated parabolas. 831 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,280 Right. 832 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:48,280 At various depths. 833 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,280 So we're looking for signals like this? 834 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:51,280 Yes. 835 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,280 Could be rocks, it could be shells. 836 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:53,280 It could be a treasure box. 837 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:54,280 Absolutely. 838 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,280 Trying to stay positive here. 839 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:56,280 All right, let's do it. 840 00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,280 Josh, I think... 841 00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:05,280 Oh, right there. 842 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:06,280 What is that? 843 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,280 That looks like a small object, yeah? 844 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:13,280 Look at the soil disturbance around and it's where someone could have dug an actual hole. 845 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:14,280 Let's mark it. 846 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:15,280 Let's definitely mark it. 847 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,280 I'm not going to get ahead of myself. 848 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:18,280 That could be anything. 849 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:19,280 That's a rock. 850 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,280 That could be a rock. 851 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,280 We're not going to get excited. 852 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:28,280 Because the GPR can't tell us what's down there, we're marking all the hits. 853 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,280 There's another one. 854 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:30,280 Right there. 855 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:31,280 Another one. 856 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:32,280 Another flag. 857 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,280 Here we go. 858 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,280 We'll go back and dig the most promising. 859 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:36,280 All right, let's keep pushing. 860 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:37,280 Come on. 861 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,280 Let's get some more. 862 00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:39,280 Here we go. 863 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:40,280 What is that? 864 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:41,280 What is that? 865 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,280 That looks like it could be an object, yes? 866 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,280 Right about two and a half feet down. 867 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,280 Two and a half feet down. 868 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,280 Oh my God. 869 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,280 And that's about how deep was the Cleveland box? 870 00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:51,280 Exactly the same. 871 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,280 Really? 872 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:53,280 Exactly the same. 873 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,280 Awesome. 874 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,280 I think that's a buried object. 875 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:56,280 Absolutely. 876 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,280 Let's not plant a flag. 877 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:58,280 Let's actually just check this one out. 878 00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:03,280 We have our strongest reading in the corner where the green fence hits the bending branches. 879 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,280 It matches the verse perfectly. 880 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,280 The treasure box could be right here. 881 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,280 Next step would be Sean to come in and probe it. 882 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,280 Let's do it. 883 00:37:14,280

was Plexiglas. 968 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:18,280 Oh, my God. 969 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:19,280 Chills. 970 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:20,280 That's what you call a heartbreaker. 971 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,280 Yeah. 972 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,280 That was not right. 973 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:24,280 Right. 974 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:32,280 We continue to seek Byron's final marker. 975 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,280 If it were up to me, I'd dig about a million more holes, 976 00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,280 but we have too many tall trees, not enough time, 977 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:45,280 and a lovely park we don't want to destroy. 978 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,280 Nothing there. 979 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,280 God, come on. 980 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,280 In the end, we head to the park's claim to fame for a drink 981 00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:56,280 and a toast to the Puzzle Master who got the best of us today. 982 00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,280 All right, so let's go load up. 983 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,280 All right. 984 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,280 Here's to Byron Price and the secret. 985 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:03,280 The Byron Price. 986 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:04,280 The Byron Price. 987 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,280 Here we go. 988 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:06,280 Cheers. 989 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,280 Cheers. 990 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,280 All right. 991 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,280 How do I look? 992 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:11,280 Do I look younger? 993 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:12,280 Is it working? 994 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,280 I feel it. 995 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:15,280 Whew. 996 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:22,280 I can admit when I'm beat, and today I got downright smoked. 997 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:28,280 The secret is maddeningly hard, and I felt crushed that I couldn't decipher it, 998 00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,280 but it's also probably my favorite expedition of all time. 999 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:38,280 Byron Price used these puzzles as bait, tempting readers to embrace a bigger prize, 1000 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:43,280 the overlooked monuments and parks of America, the thrill of adventure, 1001 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:47,280 and the ties that bind us to our immigrant past. 1002 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:52,280 Two puzzles are solved, and my hat goes off to Eric and Rob in Chicago 1003 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:58,280 and Andy and Brian in Cleveland, but Milwaukee, New York, and Florida are still out there, 1004 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:03,280 as is Boston, San Francisco, Virginia, and more. 1005 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:07,280 The boxes with their keys can still be redeemed with Byron Price's estate, 1006 00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:11,280 so the treasures can still be yours. 1007 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,280 But to those seeking glory, a word of warning. 1008 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,280 We dug with special permission from park authorities, 1009 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:22,280 and many people have lost years of their lives in the winding labyrinth of these puzzles. 1010 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:30,280 Enter the maze with caution, but be sure to call me if you happen to discover the secret. 1011 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,280 I'm looking for Butch Cassidy's money. Where am I going? 1012 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,280 They buried it all along the outlaw trail. 1013 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,280 Yeah! 1014 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,280 They would bury their money outside. 1015 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,280 Hey! I got a hit! 1016 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,280 We're getting rich today. 1017 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,280 Butch returned home. 1018 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,280 The real Butch Cassidy died right where I'm standing. Where's he buried? 1019 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,280 And I could take you up there right now. 1020 00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,280 Whoa! That's bone. 1021 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,280 That is bone.
