Treasure Hunt Summaries

Clicking on the side links to the particular treasure hunts talked about on this site brings up all the posts concerning them. Usually I have written a summary on what the hunts involve or a bit of history about them first. These are found within the posts, and if unfamiliar with the hunt, the summaries are a good place to start. Below I have provided direct links to each:

The Thrill of the Chase Poem by Forrest Fenn
This poem, if followed precisely (and understood), will lead a person to over a million dollar chest of gold and other jewels hidden in the Rocky Mountains.

Fandango: The Key to the Wind
This book includes clues to a Master Riddle to solve for a 10,000 prize hidden on Mount Desert Island, Maine.

CustardQuest Treasure Hunts
CustardQuest.com is a hunt for various cash prizes.  A searcher  ‘Reads (the story on site), Unravels (clues to the special  CQ stone hidden somewhere across the United States), Retrieves (the stone with a code), and Redeems (for cash prize on site).  (currently one is unsolved and involves a prize of 200 dollars).

Cowboy: A Treasure Hunt
Cowboy is a book containing puzzles and clues to 1,000 cash hidden somewhere in the lower 48 states.

The Undercover Job
The Undercover Job invites you become one of their daring co-agents in search for the valuable secret depot 2BSTX.  Involving nine missions, you attempt to decipher codes hidden in music.

The Unicornis Manuscripts
This book is all about discovering a silver bound unicorn horn buried beneath the ground somewhere in North America.

The Whistle Pig
A book filled with short stories giving clues to a ‘key’ which has been hidden, and in place, since February 2, 2003.

Historical Hunt
Historical Hunt offers puzzlers a chance to learn and discover history, while searching on Land (during summer months) or Internet (during winter months) for treasures. Prizes vary.

The Beale Papers
The Beale Papers, if true, would lead a person to gold, silver, and jewels hidden in Virginia in the early 1800’s. This treasure would now be valued at over 63 million.

More later…. In Pursuit of the Golden Key…..

 

Unsolved Hunts; Prizes withdrawn, but still rewarding to ponder:

Maranatha-Et in Arcadia Ego
The search for a secret Key and the discovery of the Holy Grail was initiated in this 2005 treasure hunt book. Further release of information by the author continues to be worked on.

The Ultimate Quest
This is an unsolved treasure hunt book, which the author, William Lynhope, claimed to know the actual history of the true ‘Holy Grail.’

 

I enjoy the search for treasure and share my thoughts and adventures on the hunts I work on. If I get stuck or need a break from trying to solve one hunt, I simply ponder another. I feel, sometimes, this offers a nice refreshing timeout, and when I return to a hunt, I usually come back with a different perspective or method to approach.

There are many other hunts available to which I haven’t mentioned. In time, I hope to at least offer a summary on some of these. Obviously, I don’t have time to actively work on them all (I wish I did-lol), but I do like to know the options and plan to expand this site with resources for such.

If you have a hunt, or know of one, please contact me with me further information. I would be happy to look into it!
