Sign us up for 2. 1 gold 1 copper or 2 of whatever you have in mind. Look forward to seeing your sketches. Happy at prospect of another outstanding coin. Glad you are feeling better. Thanks for your efforts

Thanks to everyone for the kind regards. I didn't mean to over-react in my initial "coming back" post. Thanks for being understanding. Things continue to be a struggle, but I'm hoping for an up-swing soon. Thought I'd stop by and answer some questions. M.V. had some VERY good observations in his post, so I chopped them out to comment on them. Regarding the Cipher, I think you've got a good idea there Marcus The second paragraph above has some nice observations in it. I really liked the parts about Verocchio's Workshop and Leonardo's Treasure. (That's all I'm gonna say about that right now.) I like what you're trying to do with the star placement, but you're not quite there yet. The mention of Santa Maria delle Grazie is once again very good. I'd recommend comparing the depiction of the mausoleum on the coin closely to pictures or drawings of the mausoleum. Hope I haven't spilled the beans, but I didn't want to leave you guys with nothing to go on after some very strong effort. -Dave I for one appreciate your coins and efforts. Everyone knew from outset there might never be a full understanding. Marcus Vitruvius communicated with me after acquiring coins. We both agreed to continue trying to determine full meaning. Just this last week I checked out another book on Knights Templar because of interest created by this challenge. Thank you for relenting a bit with a few more suggestions. I intend to keep my coins as they represent one of the highlights of geocaching. We are going to use as instructional tools for a planned introduction to geocaching. Should you decide on production of another coin please sign me up. This challenge was priceless!!

Thanks for a great contest. Still working on solutions.

Glad you returned safely. Know answer is due in morning. Will be first full night of rest since Challenge started. Hope you had better luck fishing than we did solving.

Did anybody notice that the last three numbers on the first set appear to be larger than the others. Is this meaningful, or just part of the casting process? Haven't found any sunken ships at those coordinates. We noticed but not sure if there is any significance. Sorry not more helpful. We have tried in reverse still nothing of significance established.

Safe Trip.

Glad we are not the only group feeling ignorant. Thought we had part last night only to discover we made error in transcription. Reading everything we can locate which might help; so far no luck. Agree easy phrases most likely dead ends. Would Dave really be that devious? Educational to say least.

Coins received yesterday. Better than expected. Gold tie and bag were surprise. We are working hard to finalize our best guess. Again thank you for your efforts.

We are learning a lot about frustration. Harder we try less we know. Actually have learned bits about Leonard not previously known. Still out here trying with mirror and magnifying glass. Thanks again for your efforts.

Extend the date please. Go fishing while we work on puzzle. Seems only fair to give international buyers a chance. Beautiful coins. Going to order in morning. Thanks for all your hard work.

You have the right approach. That's pretty sad, really. My son has really loved some of the bugs but when it has been a little while bugs have to go back in a cache. I don't care if he had a tantrum. I would just put him in his room until he was done with the tantrum. Oh well, I guess not everyone deals with kids in the same way. Letting them keep a TB would be like looking the other way if they stuck a candybar in their pocket at the store IMHO.
