FULL DETAILS TO FOLLOW
The Great US Treasure Hunt 2024 features 11 states, 11 coins, 11 clues. The coins hidden in public are worth $1,000 to the individual or team that solves the puzzle and finds the coin.
All books ordered 10-26 include a PDF version delivered within 12 hours of ordering.
2 coins remain to be found!
Clues appear in a 24-page comic book, on side-by-side pages--text on the left, illustration on the right. Solve the puzzle, send us the solution, go get the coin, win $1,000! Teams are allowed and can split prizes, $500 for the solver, $500 to the finder.

Good luck and have fun!
Remember, this is a skill contest, not gambling or a game of chance.
in public, each worth at least $1,000 (see below) to the person or team that can both solve one of the puzzles in this book and physically find the actual coin.
Two puzzles each pinpoint the exact location of a coin; hidden, but NOT BURIED, in public, and outdoors.
within the comic book. The pages on the left are partners with the pages on the right.
Some puzzles may require only the left or right hand pages, some may require both pages.
Two remaining coins are hidden in two different US states.
No water exploration is necessary, no medians, traffic circles, or other perilous locations. No hiking, climbing, or strenuous searching is required.
Do not search at night, or in dangerous weather conditions. Obey all laws or posted rules. Be safe. DO NOT DIG; coins are hidden, not buried.
“Solvers” may team up with a “Finder” who actually finds the physical coin, and split the cash prize 50-50. All winners must be legal US residents and provide necessary tax information, as contest winnings are considered income. Each coin has a unique serial number to prevent copies or fakes. Both the Finder and the Solver will receive a coin.
We encourage you to record your "find" and post to your social media sites!
Good luck and have fun!
This is a GAME OF SKILL, not chance!
Once you believe you have solved a puzzle, send your detailed solution to solution@thegreatustreasurehunt.com and either travel to get the coin, or have a Finder get it. If you are sending a Finder, note the Finder’s name in your Solution Email.
No player can win more than once as a Solver or Finder, though a player could be a Solver for one coin and the Finder of another. Any player who is both the Solver and Finder of the same coin wins the full prize money for that coin, plus the Illustration.
Finding the physical coin is required for the winning person or team. Merely solving a puzzle is not good enough; your team must be the one to actually find the coin.
Once TGUSTH has verified you have the coin and the correct puzzle solution, you or your team will be declared winners. Simply finding a coin through a lucky search, but without the proper puzzle solution, is not good enough. If a coin is “accidentally found,” the winner of the full prize shall be the first person to send the correct solution for that location.
We will not answer most questions via email. Your solution must be precise and exact. Do not travel on a guess. There will be no reimbursement for travel, but there are no penalties for incorrect guesses.
No returns or refunds.
We are limited by GoDaddy in the number of characters here, so if you want the full story, scroll down to our blog post, or visit our Facebook page. Congratulations to Nancy Zitko and Beth Hovanec, who once again team up to win The Great US Treasure Hunt!
The father-daughter team of DAVID and TALIA COHEN used the "Omar at the Wire" rebus to direct Cargill Sports Complex team lead NICHOLAS PATTERSON to search beneath a bleacher seat to discover the 8th coin. Two teams sent Finders, but only one came away a winner. AT THE WIRE.
JARED LYON, brother of Knoxville Finder Allison Lyon, used Braille in the "Watch Your Step" puzzle, where consonants were dots, then found a Finder in Roswell. MIGUEL DE SANTIAGO lives near Enchanted Lands Park, which had been underwater just 9 days earlier, but the coin was still there!
DEBBIE ADAMS and husband Dennis made the 4 hr drive from near Houston to Austin in the early AM of October 29. The "Blocks" puzzle directed Debbie to "Pease Park Treehouse Boulder Austin," exactly where she found the coin, becoming the 6th winner and 3rd Solver/Finder in our 2024 Hunt.
California musician Steve Geller put a team together that included Desiree Hood making a long distance call to the Lotus Hotel, where they found a hunting partner in Ann Mateo, who walked across the street to Kapiolani Park...story at YouTube!

BARBARA HAMRICK is the Solver/Finder of the Glendale location Griffith-Manor Park and the "Screwy Balleyhooey Hollywood" puzzle. When Barbara and a 2nd searcher reached the spot, the Left Green Slide, the coin was gone! No finder came forward within 48 hrs, so Barbara wins the $1,000 prize!
