A magnet has north and south poles. Could the container be hidden in a pond or stream? The container could be a hollow rock. Some item made of iron tied to a rope..

Justin revealed that the logo for his treasure hunt might be helpful in solving the riddle. If we assume that the image represents the Earth, then the treasure marked with an "x" would be hidden beneath the Earth's surface.
If we play with the idea that the Earth’s surface forms a map, then “Beyond the map’s edge” takes on a new meaning. The treasure could be located beneath this map. The Earth’s surface is this “edge.”
All of this could, in turn, be connected to the fact that the events in "Alice in Wonderland" take place in an underground world. The image published by Arkade could also depict Alice, which would reinforce this idea of the logo and the Earth.
Picture: "Cheshire Cat" in the Ursa Major
This is the weirdest thing that has ever happenend to me! I can't believe how did I manage to "solve" Justin's riddle.
In the poem on Justin’s website, part of the text is in “the shadowed sights.” A cryptic message: “v be flow C”. The velocity is the speed of light. My solution to this mystery is GRAVITY. Gravity "lives" in spaceTIME as we all know.
"In Ursa east his realm awaits":
JP quoted the author of the "Alice in Wonderland" in the Netflix series. So, if this character is familiar from his stories, it’s good to remember that Alice adventured in Mirrorland, where everything was turned upside down. So, for example, if the Cheshire Cat says he’s in Ursa east, he’s actually in Ursa Major. In this particular constellation, there is a pattern created by a GRAVITATIONAL lens, which scientists call "the CHESHIRE CAT" because of its shape. Now I knew that I needrd to find this cat somewhere in the American west.
"Walk near waters silent flight" :
The Native Americans called Portland “Still Water", so I’ll start my journey there.
"Round the bend – Pass the Hole" :
My route takes a turn after the town of Bend. I’ll pass Crater Lake whose original name was "HOLE Lake"
If we continue in a straight line from the city of Bend, passing by Crater Lake, we’ll notice that the route takes us through a recreational area named "Alice in Wonderland" in Ashland. All the trails in this area are named after characters from the Alice's stories.
There I found the Cheshire Cat Trail and about 200 feet from this path is a large, round, cracked boulder. Next to it was a piece of rock about 6 inches wide. The material of this stone is known as the Ashland Pluton. This type of rock is found only at the summit of Mount Ashland, located about 6.5 miles south of this site. I belive this is the item that should be found on the "Checkpoint". It clearly points to the certain direction as JP has told it would do.
I drove up to the Mount Ashland and left my car in the parking lot. I walked about a MILE up the road and saw something interesting. Next to the road stood a massive rock formation that the locals call the "Rabbit Rock." As we know, White Rabbit also lives in the Wonderland. This is important because Justin has said that a MILE FROM THE PARKING LOT, you’ll see something that will help you move forward in your treasure hunt. He had also said that there could be found some help by reading some other than his book. I believe this rock formation is the thing Justin was talking about. And, the book is the Alice in Winderland.
Near this rabbit rock, I noticed a smaller rabbit rock. Next to it was a stone circle that resembled a miniature version of the standing stones at Stonehenge. I believe the smaller rabbit is the larger rabbit's BRIDE, and the stones in the circle are the “ANCIENT GATES" that she is guarding.
According to the additional clues Justin gave, “Return her face” means that the Bride’s head must be turned. The smaller rabbit was facing west, so I had to continue my search in the east.
"Double arcs on granite bold":
"Granite bold" is a FONT, so the double arcs could represent the letter M. I noticed that McDonald Peak is located east of the Bride, and I headed there to continue my search.
"Wonder guards this sacred space":
On the mountain ridge, I saw a massive rock formation that resembles a LIZARD's HEAD. This natural wonder gazed directly at a cubic black rock below. The sacred stone of Muslims is, of course, the black rock of Kaba. Kaba means "cube," which in turn refers to a SPACE in mathematics. So, a wonderful lizard guards this sacred space.
Justin has said that once you’ve solved all the riddles, you’ll find yourself in an area about the size of a typical American kitchen. I wonder if this could mean that the treasure is hidden among the boulders of the McDonand Peak? JP also said that once the final location is known, the treasure will be something to retrieve rather than search for. To pick up like a Big Mac meal?
Bang, Bang! Justin announced at Seekers Summit 2026 that the treasure isn’t in Oregon. My whole house of cards collapsed and I almost can't believe it.
Could someone explain how it’s possible that I found that rare piece of rock at the Checkpoint that’s only found on a specific mountain peak? Who had brought it there? I noticed there was some dead grass underneath the stone, so it couldn’t have been there for decades.
A: Fenn was asked about the "blaze"—whether it would still be there in 1,000 years. He replied that it had been there for millions of years, so he assumed it would last another 1,000 years. Jack Stuef found the blaze on a tree in Nine Mile Hole. How is this possible?
B: "There's no paddle up your creek." Stuef had to cross the Madison River. A big river is not a creek. Would an 80-year-old Fenn have waded across a wide river whose bottom is full of slippery rocks? He had mentioned many times not to go any dangerous places.
C: What was "the marvel gaze" in Stuef's solution? He hadn't anything to fit that clue.
D: Fenn said that the treasure is hidden north of Santa Fe. Nine Mile Hole is northwest of Santa Fe.
E: In the photo published by Jack Stuef, the chest had been dug into the ground. Fenn had said several times that the treasure had not been buried in the ground.
F: Fenn said that after his death, he would have liked to remain next to his treasure. After all, the location is a popular fishing spot. Why would he have wanted to be laying in a place where fishermen go to relieve themselves? Fenn told he had made plans to die there. This makes no sense.
G: Fenn said he had to pay three lawyers to solve some legal problem but they couldn't solve it. In the Netflix series his lawyer told that someone had asked Fenn to get the chest for him and that was the reason why Fenn contacted him. What was the legal problem? Why Fenn didn't talk about it after the hunt?
Just wondering: Did Stuef break some law to get the chest from some problematic location and then told the narrative about the Nine Mile Hole? In some areas you are not allowed to use metal detector or dig. The old law protects those areas because gold diggers have had the right to hide their gold in the ground. Those laws are still valid. Maybe Fenn didn't know that only he had the right to pickup his gold?
Did you find something suspicious about the Stuef's solve?
In the Netflix series, Justin quoted the author of Alice in Wonderland. This detail may help us understand the clue “in Ursa east his realm awaits.”
Alice adventured in Mirrorland. Everything is backward in there, including time and text, which can only be read in a mirror.
If a person’s reality in the Mirrorland is in the constellation Ursa east, then in reality they are actually in the constellation Ursa Major in the west. If we examine this constellation we notice that there is a figure there that appeared in Alice in Wonderland! The 👉 GRAVITATIONAL lensing phenomenon has created a formation in that constellation known as the CHESHIRE CAT.
👉 GRAVITY is hidden in the first stanza of the poem. If we look at the poem on Justin’s website and examine the letters obscured by the shadow cast by the edge of the paper, we notice a hidden message: "v be flow C". The velocity is the speed of light just like gravity has. And, so "What lives in time?" As we sll know, gravity is a phenomenon in space time..
So, now we know we should find Cheshire Cat somewhere on the map? In Oregon is a recreational area, where is a trail called Cheshire Cat. I know, Justin ruled out this state. Maybe, there's something similar outside Oregon?🤔
Hope this would help you to find the treasure!
EDIT: JP gave us an extra clue by saying there's some other book that might be helpful. Could this book be Alice in Wonderland? 🤔
