*Though The Article Claims Aberdeen is/was a Hamlet in Tazwell County.
Wikipedia claims Aberdeen is a historic plantation house located several miles north of Disputanta, Prince George County, Virginia. It was built sometime between 1790 and 1810, by Thomas Cocke. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberdeen_(Disputanta,_Virginia)

Coordinates 37°13′35″N 77°08′43″W place it here





Could everyone Be looking in the wrong Place ?

One in MARYLAND, too! I would check VIRGINIA!

yea I'd be pretty confident he was in Virginia or west Virginia

I noticed allot of papers didn't separate them as different states when reporting.

And the Article appears to have been originally from Parkersburg West Virginia

Well, another "site" indicated that John Crismo buried it near Blacksburg, Va. in the mountains near Virginia Tech; ALL "Hokies" AHOY! HH! Good Luck!

Blacksburg is South of Aberdeen & so is Parkersburg WV. this may be the reason.

someone may be suggesting the Dip on the Map points to Blacksburg ?

if anything I'd say the Numbers are more likely paces then miles
Hopefully the circles were something more permanent then trees

Dunno; gotta do more R & I by "googling" John Crismo's buried treasure in Virginia...
