I’m off the couch. Fun puzzle with a very nice aha moment.
But I must object to 1 down. “Chocolate substitute” ??? What a ridiculous concept! Chocolate is the world’s most perfect food! There are no substitutes! Yes, I knew what you were going for. I’ve even tried it. And it is no substitute for chocolate

Off the couch with a collaboration with my solving partner @MaineMarge
I agree with @Dow Jones about having to google only one square.

Yup,
@Bob cruise director and I did the teamwork and are OTC.
Loved it, Darth.
Now outside to enjoy some fall beauty by our farm pond down the road. Water, water everywhere..

Haha! Me too! I’m from Pittsburgh originally!
I was born in Pittsburgh...my grandmother got voted biggest Pirates fan in her town and got to throw out the first pitch at a Pirates game.
I was born and raised in central PA and was a fan of all the Pittsburgh teams.
Here's one of my most-prized "Pirate treasures" signed by my favorite Pirate - Willie "Pops" Stargell.

Now back to searching for @Darth's treasure.
MIne was by Duffy Dyer.
