Grandpa Lizard's Southwest Treasure Hunt


Book Description

Disclaimer: If you don't live in southern Arizona where the clues are hidden the treasure will be almost impossible to find, therefore you may not want to purchase this book. (Although it does stand on its own as a children's book.)This book is a real "Treasure Hunt" with clues hidden in various places scattered around southern Arizona. The clues point to the location of the main prize which is a U.S. Customs Department Sterling Silver coin.I was greatly influenced by Kit Williams' book, "Masquerade."The treasure I've hidden isn't nearly as valuable as Mr. Williams' 18-carat goldjewel-encrusted rabbit but a Sterling Silver coin is nothing to shake a stick at either. Besides, treasure hunts are just plain fun.Unlike traditional Arm Chair treasure hunts, "Grampa Lizard's treasure hunt" is interactive. It's kind of a mix between a traditional arm chair treasure hunt and a geo cashe hunt. Not only do you have to find the clues in the book you have to go outside and physically find the others.I will check on the clues each month. If I find one (or all) the clues have been discovered I will wait an additional 2 weeks before I post them on my blog site http://grandpalizardtreasurehunt.wordpress.com This gives whoever found them a head start in the hunt.After I post the clue if you would like to send me a photo of you finding it I will gladly post your photo.One further note:For metal detector enthusiasts: The actual silver coin is not buried anywhere. There is a non metal representation of the treasure hidden out there that - when found, can be exchanged for the coin.Happy hunting
