SOME FINAL POINTS
1. I will never hide a treasure (or medallion) on private property or in a cemetery. Please respect property laws, don’t trespass and always revere burial grounds.
2. I am the only person who knows where I hide my treasures. I purposely don’t tell friends or family members. It’s no use trying to get information from them.
3. If you think you have to dig to retrieve the treasure (or medallion), please check out local laws and ordinances.
4. Always leave an area cleaner than you found it. If you dig, fill in your holes. If you find trash, remove it.
