BONUS & CRITICAL CLUE INFO

I will be releasing "BONUS CLUE" at the release of clue 6. The way it works is this "BONUS CLUE" will not tell you anything about where the Treasure Medallion is located, instead it will lead you to another clue (the CRITICAL CLUE) I have hidden on PUBLIC LAND in the same city the medallion is in. This (what I like to call the "CRITICAL CLUE") will contain essential information on where the Treasure Medallion is located. There will be only 1 copy of the "critical clue" so finders keepers if anyone finds it.

KICK OFF PARTY AND PAYMENT INFO

 

I will be holding a kickoff party at Shamrocks Bar and Grill 995 7th Street West Saint Paul, MN 55102 starting at 5:30pm and ending at 8pm with the release of clue 1 at 6pm.
