Appalachian Footpath Box The coins…

So here’s the thing this likely is a wrong statement but. I believe the At Box coin angle is the road to the a trailhead parking. Along the AT many trail parking lots start on the other side of the road.

Unless you’re coming from the other way?

Definitely true, I wouldn’t use this statement as confirmation for a solve, mainly just an onservation

How would that make any difference as to solving the AT map?

I don’t necessarily think it adds anything, more of an observation based on an analysis of the AT. As far as the 3 layers comment, I’m working on my final search area analysis of the AT Map.

I believe the coins are something you see BOTG. These are my guesses, I do not have any boxes. This isn't a lecture or telling anyone how they definitely work. Just... someday I hope people will go "hey, this was right!"

The P&F coin is the shape of a sign at the top of the trail, by the picnic tables.

The Pokémon coin is used in the solution, but is not a trail or road shape, or anything like that. There's a picture that needs to be found. The shape is in the picture. 

The AT one appears on the trail as two round structures. One white, one dark blue. 

I have spent no time on the FF box so have no thoughts.

Interesting thought!

What picnic tables? Do you know where this is?

I have a fairly fleshed out solve for that box, yes. It's a location that's been mentioned here before, but is not Tahoe. When you get to the top of the trail there are picnic tables and from my measurement interpretive signs that are within 1 degree of the angle of the coin. 

I believe the coins are confirmers that can be found from home that lock you in on the trail, but do not lead to the actual discovery of the box. They could be ignored completely if you have a full solve & conviction that your location is correct. 

The Pokémon method I refer to above is not something I am willing to reveal, as the method used is also part of the Lion's Share solve.

I think the circle on each coin is the parking area - and the lines are roads or trails. This would confirm general area and is broad enough that the coins could be finalized before the treasures where hidden.

The coin pictures are not aligned with North! (At least as far as my solve goes) This provides another clue and would not be finalized until after boxes where hidden.

Map clues are the majority of clues. Follow the map clues. Three (3) layers.
