THE GREAT US TREASURE HUNT

---

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.  

Ten 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.

Ten coins are hidden in ten 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 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 after October 21
