Considering the word “NINETEEN” is on the first line of the word search in the “Past & Future Box” chapter of “There’s Treasure Inside,” a moon-like surface is featured on both the coin and box, and taking every 19th letter boggles to “MALE MOON AVIATOR,” we considered anywhere associated with the moon or astronauts like Neil Armstrong as a place to search for clues.

Male Moon Aviator Puzzle Clue for Past and Future Box in There's Treasure Inside

There are multiple astronauts who called Ohio home, but Neil Armstrong seems to fit the bill best as a U.S. Navy aviator, aeronautical engineer, and the first astronaut to walk on the moon in July, 1969 during NASAā€˜s Apollo 11 Mission.

Although there are many places across the U.S. that have names associated with Armstrong, other astronauts, and the moon, we started out exploring parks and attractions around his hometown of Wapakoneta in Auglaize County, Ohio. One of the places we visited on our road trip looking for clues was the Armstrong Air & Space Museum. (see photos below)
