2024 Nevada Day Treasure Hunt Clues

Clue #1

Here we are, another year,  
Searching Nevada, both far and near.  
Enjoy yourselves, wherever you roam,  
Explore and treasure our beautiful home. 

Clue #2

On public land, you’ll find the prize, 
No trespassing allowed, a word for the wise.  
Tread with care, for safety’s sake, 
And leave no trash in your wake. 

Clue #3

Many searched for treasure, silver and gold, 
But silver’s elusive, its secrets untold. 
A medal detector serves no gain, 
In places of legends old stories remain. 

Clue #4

Echoes fall where legends dawn,  
Follow the marker where lines are drawn. 
A ranch where roots in shadows dwell, 
With poker hands, and stories to tell. 

Clue #5

Meandering through Nevada’s rugged lands,   
Tracing the path of dreamers’ bold plans. 
Miles without water, just whispers of pain,   
As wagon tracks fade, the stories remain. 

Clue #6

Early Paiute lore, the giants sleep, 
Near the dam’s cool, silent seep.  
And ginger’s scent and guano’s gleam, 
Treasure not hidden here, just your dreams.

Clue #7

At 17 and 19, the primes align,  
With pi in the circle, the digits unwind,  
Subtracting 1-1, the balance is two.  
Infinite wonders, in Nevada’s view.  

Clue #8

No sound escaped, yet still she spoke, 
A night out in the desert, ‘neath the moon’s soft cloak. 
At one in the morning, alone in despair, 
No blood on her hands, yet still, he lay there. 

Clue #9

Strong hands that mined the ore,   
Built railroads stretching evermore.   
A cache of gold coins where the sanctuary now lies,   
Near the quiet resting place, under the lone mountain’s skies. 

Clue #10

No turning back, she left Eddie that day,   
Mercury saved her and led her away.   
The revolver roared as the windmill turned round,   
She finished the mission, then vanished, unbound.
