i believe i found out which book it is............50 shades of gray :laughing:
 
I don't know what to think. Some posters suggest the book is the Bible, but then the letter seems to indicate that the book is buried as one of the clues. How exactly does one of these book codes work?
 
i agree, it sounds like the other clues lead you to the book. once the book is found then its the task of breakin the code

One thought

The starting point may be the UNderground Railroad. The last stop of this line is BUCKS COUNTY. Ulysses Grant used it to travel to West Point.

The BOOK is the The Exeter Book. Google Anglo Saxon riddle 52. You will see the meaning!

That's pretty interesting.....if the code refers to that book, I wonder if the first number refers to the number of the riddle, etc....But, if that's the case I see 95 riddles and the highest number in the code list is 98, which is pretty close to 95, but I don't know what 96, 97 and 98 would correspond to.....either way your idea seems like the most solid so far. Might have to look into that a little more.
i am curious how you got to the exeter book though?

I was looking up any info especially culture on Anglo Saxons. I found this and followed it. It is an old book, not revised like the bible. It has codes. The letter is in code so why wouldn't the book be something in the nature as well?

"also known as the Codex Exoniensis, is a tenth-century[1]book or codex which is an anthology of Anglo-Saxon poetry. It is one of the four major Anglo-Saxon literature codices. The book was donated to the library of Exeter Cathedral by Leofric, the first bishop of Exeter. It is believed originally to have contained 131 leaves, of which the first 8 have been replaced with other leaves; the original first 8 pages are lost. The Exeter Book is the biggest known collection of Old English literature that exists today."
 
i live in Montgomery count sadly or id be all over this right now >.< maybe if i find myself over in the area sometime i will bring my tools xp
 
I read the 12 pages on TN, why I don't know. A lot of stuff being thrown around over there. IF this is real I am wondering If any one has tried asking around town about a Lion Tree. It seems the right elderly person or local historian type would have possibly heard of this tree which seems to be the starting point. The lion tree would be the key even if it's not a tree.

One thing most of know is that caches buried for retrieval are sometimes near trees.
