Submitted by coldesthunter88 on

Coldest’s Lost Treasure Hunt 2018 Info and Rules!

Coldest’s Lost Treasure Hunt will begin on May 16th! First clue will be released at the kick off party at 5pm in person and 9pm online. The kickoff party this year will take place at the new Spring Cafe at Como Park starting at 5pm. All subsequent clues will be released online via Cooler Crew FB page, Medallion Militia FB page , and the PP treasure hunt FB page at 9am each day until the Treasure Medallion is found.

Last year Matthew Koskie n’ Ed Brodie teamed up n’ laid claim t’ me precious gold n’ loot. They discovered me Treasure Medallion at Indian Mounds Park along a trail overlooking Pigs Eye Lake in the Municipal Forest under a patch o’ fake grass n’ saplings incased in Black Beards chest! It was found about 20-30 mins after the release of clue 11. The team found it amongst 7-12 other hunters searching along the same trail. The Critical Clue was also found by them at Harriet Island n’ helped lead them to the right area mid hunt. Congrats again to them on a great find, now a new adventure awaits....

This year's rules are as follows:

  • The medallion will be hidden on PUBLIC LAND in Ramsey County.
  • The medallion will be hidden no higher then 5 feet off the ground.
  • You will not need to deconstruct public property to find the medallion.
  • The medallion will not be buried underground but may be covered by leaves or brush.
  • The medallion will not be hidden on any steep hill or anywhere dangerous.
  • The medallion will not be hidden on any body of water.
  • Stay off PRIVATE PROPERTY!
  • The prize money will be awarded upon return of the medallion.
  • You have until the release of clue 4 to register.
  • Finder keeps the medallion!
  • One clue per day at 9am daily, 1st Clue will be released on wed May 16th at 5pm at kickoff party, 9pm online.
  • 12 clue hunt

*THE CRITICAL CLUE RETURNS ONCE AGAIN! I will be releasing a "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 I have hidden on PUBLIC LAND in Ramsey County. 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.

*It costs $10.00 to register to win the whole cash prize (estimated to be $250-$500), If you chose to not register you can still hunt but will only be awarded $100 for finding the medallion, the rest of the money will be used in a future hunt. 3 options to pay, you can pay me at the kickoff party in person, send a check in the mail (message me for address), or send via PayPal to Ssanftner88@yahoo.com

All pirates come together, it’s time to pillage the land. In search of gold and glory, creating success stories, Within private land we all are banned. 
Set sail in the right direction, holding spyglass for inspection. Travel to this golden region, with hunting legion. And add golden perfection, to your treasure collection!
