You MUST have the "GOOGLE EARTH COMMUNITY" checked. 
I assumed everyone does. Oppppps. Its under 'gallery'. It will show a "i"
Also, Bob, your pointer coords in the lower left seem to be way off the coOrdinates I gave.

Negatory, is degrees-decimal vs DMS throwing you off? See coords in center of picture, they should be same scheme as you gave. Turned on gallery, tried NSEW in case you left out +/-, still nothing of interest.

I'm waiting for more clues too. The lake is kind of interesting if you look at it from a rorschach perspective.

I suppose the treasure is either oil or dimonds... Lumber is a bit scarce up that direction....

Well I can rule out a "Woman behind every tree!".... About the only other thing there is Caribou, Bears and oil sands...

Come on. Im not going to tell you whats there. I cant give you anymore clues. Go to those coords, and click on the blue "i" there.
Is this it?

Well, if your first post had actually said 64 degrees north instead of 69 degrees north, we might have had a better chance of figuring it out. The blue I has nothing to do with it, it's because you told us to look 350 miles away in the wrong spot.
If my guess is right it's because I looked at the coordinates on Sushi's screen shot not what he posted.

How could I be warm, I said "Dimonds"... ok, I left off the "Mine" part, but oil and dimond mining are about the only thing going on there nowdays, maybe a few gold miners still looking around... and it was in the black lake..
Next your going to say I had to come back with a pocket of Dimonds to be "Right on"....

Ok Sush, here are your boo-boos.
1. Anyone cutting and pasting your coords into GE will get an error because GE does not recognize ";" as a separator between degrees and minutes.
2. Your longitude of 110 should have been either -110 or W110, else you end up on the other side of the world.
3. It shoud have been 64 not 69! What were you thinking? Oh, 69, nevermind.

I wrote down the exact coordinates that my cursor was over. If you go and put your cursor over the blue "i" it will show what I wrote.I didnt intend anyone to cut and paste it. Thats not much "discovering" is it?
I just wanted it to be fun.

Got to >Tools>Options and set your coordinate system to 'degrees decimal'. Then peeps can cut and paste your coords without getting an error. I haven't seen any mapping system that uses ';' as a delimiter between degrees and minutes, including GoogleEarth. What a mook.
Oh, and it's Aragonese Castle off the coast near Naples. Purdy. Didn't see no nuns. Gotta thing for nuns?

No. Where is the fun in that???
Its a new thing made possible by Mutual of Omaha.
Castello Aragonese
You should allow at least a couple of hours to look around the castle, which costs around €8 to enter. There are two different sections to visit, divided into an Eastern Itinerary and a Western Itinerary, with plenty of places to sit and admire the views. There are a couple of places to eat (one in each section) which may tempt you to extend your stay longer.
A steep covered mule-track runs from the gate up to the higher levels of the fortress, but nowadays a lift takes the strain out of the ascent.
The first recorded fortress here was built by the Greek ruler of Syracuse (Siracusa), Gerone, in 474 BC. Over the centuries the islet passed through many hands, and its occupiers (including the Romans, Visigoths, Vandals, Arabs, Normans and Angevins) all left their mark on the structures. After the last eruption of Ischia's Monte Epomeo in 1301, local inhabitants left their damaged homes and moved to the island. Alphonso of Aragon rebuilt the castle over a century later, creating strong fortifications and the bridge linking the islet to mainland Ischia. Living inside these walls, the Ischians were protected from military and piratical marauders, and over a thousand families squeezed onto the rocky slopes. As well as homes, the fortress also sheltered a convent, an abbey, 13 churches and a garrison. However, the Ischians gradually began moving back to the shores of Ischia itself. After shelling by the British in 1809, when the island was held by the French, the damaged buildings were abandoned. During the nineteenth century the islet was used briefly as a prison by the Bourbon rulers of Naples before Italy's unification. Nowadays the island is privately-owned. As well as the sections which are open to tourists (not, sadly, the central fortress building), the island also hosts special events such as concerts and exhibitions. There is also a hotel on the islet, housed in the old convent buildings.
Among the most interesting sights within the Castello is the Nuns' Cemetery. The Clarisse order of nuns who lived here from 1575 until 1810 would place their dead on stone seats (with drainage holes) in small cells. The living nuns would then be required to say daily prayers in the company of their decomposing companions, meditating on mortality. This macabre and unhealthy custom unsurprisingly led to illness, and visitors will be relieved to know that the creepy cells are now hygienically empty of corpses.
Among the churches left (just about) standing on the island, the most evocative is the ruined Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption (Cattedrale dell'Assunta). Nearly destroyed by the British shelling of the island, the grand stucco work is open to the elements and is an impressive sight. Underneath, in the crypt, are the remains of an older chapel, dating back to the eleventh and twelfth centuries and decorated with fine frescoes of saints and landscapes.
A second macabre sight within the Castello is a small museum at the top of the exit/entrance tunnel. Dedicated to weapons and to instruments of torture, the museum is not for the squeamish.

NAVSPACECOM Space Surveillance Station
Naval Space Command operates a surveillance network of nine field stations located across the southern U.S. Three transmitter sites in the network are located at Jordan Lake, Ala., Lake Kickapoo, Texas, and Gila River, Ariz. Six receiver sites are located at Tattnall, Ga., Hawkinsville, Ga., Silver Lake, Miss., Red River, Ark., Elephant Butte, N.M., and San Diego, Calif.
These surveillance stations produce a "fence" of electromagnetic energy that can detect objects out to an effective range of 15,000 nautical miles.
