From the Dal Neitzel site regarding wherewarmwatershalt.com --
The company behind this website is CMJ Media and it is most likely for advertising or marketing purposes. I found this out by coming across an orphaned attachment called“iforgetwishes”. iforgetwishes is the only attachment, post or page with a unique author, “Nah-E-Thlai,” every other page is authored by “Finder’s Keeper.”
After finding Nah-E-Thlai, I went to the author’s profile page, which didn’t exist but did reveal a unique URL ending with /author/eric/. Once I confirmed that an email address was tied to that author name, I sent an email to the address. Almost immediately, I received a reply from an email account registered to CMJ Media:
I will be out of the office Aug 12 to Aug 14 and will have limited availability. I will occasionally check email and voice mail {removed}.
Thank you,

I found two more registered email addresses on WhereWarmWatersHalt.com and reached out to see how to proceed. I also emailed the folks over at CMJ Media. I’m a full-time writer and occasional designer myself, so I know how much work goes into these things and I really didn’t want to needlessly spoil any major surprises… however, I feel like part of the allure of sites like these is figuring them out. They are designed to create a sense of mystery that only makes sense if the point is to solve them. To that end, I’m sorry if I’ve ruined any plans or spoiled some massive product launch.
Looking at the website for Pacific Horizon Ventures, you can see that Eric Edwards, the owner of CMJ Media, is involved and “has been researching the Cocos Island treasure since 1986, including a search for the treasure in the South Pacific. He’s also organized and led numerous outdoor ‘adventure’ excursions” and “has participated in other searches for historic sites and artifacts.”
I am now fairly certain that this site will end up being some kind of promotion for Pacific Horizon Ventures, whose mission statement includes:
The company provides research, exploration and recovery services for historic lost assets with an intent to develop economic, carbon neutral, sustainable business ventures. The company’s initial project (Project 1: Cocos Island Treasure) and efforts will focus on the recovery of the Coco’s Island treasure (which is no longer on Cocos Island). This treasure is estimated (by those that secreted it to its present location) to be 100+ tons of gold, silver, jewels and historic artifacts). Upon the successful recovery and distribution of the treasure’s assets, the company will then move forward with branding and licensing of the story. This will include a documentary (and/or a series), book/published material, exhibitions, various products, movie rights and related items.
And, another interesting note on the Pacific Horizon Ventures introductory blog:
Additionally, the company intends to pursue other projects of a similar (and classified) nature after the successful recovery of the treasure/assets (Project 1).
