One of my all time favorites, The Secret was published in 1982 by Byron Priess. 12 casques containing keys redeemable for jewels were hidden, 11 in the US and 1 in Canada. In 1983, 2 guys dug up the first treasure in Grant Park Chicago. The hunt went dead for 21 years until 2004 when Egbert from the Quest4Treasure forums dug up a discolored 22 year old casque out of the cleveland Cultural Gardens. Needless to say this was a huge deal for the few working this puzzle over there. Egbert met with Byron and recieved his prize. Tragically, Byron died in a car accident a few months ago. As Im sure he would have liked, the hunt goes on. Progress has slowed with this one and as I believe puzzles are created to be solved, I hope this will help expose the hunt to someone who might help solve a location! If you want, you may start discussion here but I recommend you check out:

I am an moderator on this forum and it is a very complete recollection of everything that has gone down in this hunt for the past few years. I would like to offer to help with the bandwidth burden (as the book is out of print) by hosting the high res scans here. I recommend STRONGLY that you get the book used on amazon, its a full 221 pages!

 high res scans and verses.

They are over 60 megs so it will take a bit to download.
