View attachment society hill letter.pdfA Buried Treasure in Society Hill, Philadelphia: 1716? | Historical Society of Pennsylvania

Check out the link above and click on the letter and open the folder it will show you all the work I did and this should help locate the treasure. The letter made 300 yrs ago tells the location of a major treasure in Philadelphia. We solved the letter back in 2008 and last week April 15th 2016 the Voice News Paper in Philadelphia called us to see if they can run our story on Monday 25th. So we gave them the solved letter and maps to the site were the treasure was back then. This should be fun to see if anything is found. I will post the solved letter and maps after it runs in the news paper.

UPDATE/ letter solved by Finders Keepers http://www.phillyvoice.com/treasure-buried-beneath-society-hill/

I will post the maps to show the location of were the treasure should be , in a few days.

I wish you guys the best of luck in getting something moving with this. I cannot understand why there would be such a hold up over retrieving buried treasure in this state! Someone is just not thinking. I wonder exactly what is behind their thinking that justifies nothing going to the finder! it just makes no sense.
 

This treasure in Society Hill is a free bee we give to the state and we want nothing back. Its the Dents Run site and 3 other sites that we have a problem with. Ya it sounds crazy that DCNR or a Museum will not pay a finders fee but that's the truth. They want it all. WE have had offers from government officials and from DCNR employees and some are in jail now. I can not talk about any of this but our story will be told soon. I did not see the Society Hill story run yet so I will call the reporter and post the info here.

Oh I see. I didn't realize you offered to do this one for free. Great way to gain some publicity and advertising.

I don't understand PA's "no finder's fee" policy.
 

OK this is it, how many people list all the info to hunt down a 300 yr old treasure. http://www.phillyvoice.com/treasure-buried-beneath-society-hill/

I will post all the maps to the location in a few days. I hope someone finds it , we have not been on site to look for this one.

UPDATE / All info is on first post above, click on letter then open the folder. All the info I did will show up. Good Luck.
