History: In 1821, a miner named Thomas Beale claimed that he had hidden $21 million in gold and silver dubbed the "Beale's Treasure". He claimed that he had found the gold and silver in Colorado in 1818, but some people believe that Beale may not even exist. Three ciphers were later found that treasure hunters believe may be able to help locate the treasure. So far, only one of the ciphers has been decoded, but a treasure hunter claimed that he has decoded the second cipher and may know where the treasure is located. Background: Thomas Jefferson Beale is believed to have lived in Colorado in 1818, where he claimed to have found the treasure. He is believed to have lived in Virginia in 1821, where he buried the alleged treasure. There are census records for two Thomas Beales in 1820, but it
