The hunt for the treasure officially kicks off at Noon on Saturday before Memorial Day, May 29, 2021. The treasure hunt will end at Noon on Labor Day, September 6, 2021 whether the treasure has been found or not. Additional clues based on the book's map may be published on this website's Home Page and elsewhere prior to Memorial Day. The map in the book will be a treasure hunter's primary guide. However, searches should be kept within two miles of the Delaware River as the Crow Flies. Treasure hunters should remember, Safety First! The treasure is NOT within 50 feet of the Delaware River or any other body of water, whether that body of water is a running stream, creak, lake or a still pond. If you search in or on the banks of a body of water, any water, you are way off base and will not find the treasure. The Treasure is NOT on private land. Also, there is no need to climb anything with your hands. Do NOT climb over barricades or fences, period, as you will not find the treasure doing so. Again, if you are using rope or climbing gear you are way off base and will not find the treasure. If something seems dangerous, don't do it, as you will not find the treasure if you do. The sponsors and author reserve the right to take any action they see fit in order to promote the safety of the public and themselves. Again, SAFETY FIRST!
