Geocache Description:

This cache was placed with the owner's permission.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

One after midday whilst sailing about on me pirate ship I did see a glint off the starboard bow. I called to me six mateys to lower a dinghy to check out the glint. 'Cause where's there's glint there's gold. Not so this time me mateys. Twas not but a barnacle with a cork.

After a bit o' discussion 'bout the value of a barnacle with a cork we did decide twas naught. There was nothing better to do than to toss it overboard. I have the throwing arm of a bilge rat so the barnacle with a cork projected straight to the deck four inches before me toes. It burst into ten large diamonds one still affixed to the cork and a bit of parchment. Me keen pirate mind was not to be fooled! I now know glass when me eye percieves it! The true treasure was the bit o' parchment!

Turns out me eye failed me again. No treasure map. Just some meaningless words!

"Four brass tumblers you must spin. You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart."
