Here is an aereal view of my mother's house, the one my brother stole.

Here is a closeup view of the house where I grew up. It is on Trents
Ferry Road half way between Fox Hill Road and Holcomb Rock Road. Some
new houses have been built there so it is difficult to recognize the
place but the woods to the North of the House is where I found the
Beale Treasure.

I doubt that anybody has been back there in the past 45 years so I am
sure that the treasure is safe, although perhaps I should go back
there and dig it up again if only I could remember where I put it.
