Clues will highlight Northern Nevada’s colorful past (and present). The medallion is small, round, and states on it that it is the Nevada Day Treasure Hunt medallion. The medallion will be hidden on public property somewhere in Carson, Churchill, Douglas, Lyon, Mineral, Pershing, Storey or Washoe County. The medallion will not be hidden on school property. The medallion will not be buried and no structure needs to be disturbed or climbed to find it. Treasure hunting must be limited to daylight hours. Treasure hunters must be respectful of others’ privacy, property and person.

   THE MEDALLION WILL NOT BE HIDDEN ON PRIVATE PROPERTY AND SEARCHING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY IS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED. Treasure hunters must obey any and all posted signs, ensure that any gates for public areas are closed securely upon exiting if the gate was closed upon the treasure hunter’s entry, and respect all property and environment. Areas being searched should be left undisturbed, in the same condition as before the search. Any treasure hunter found to have violated these rules, in Organizer’s sole discretion, will be ineligible to win the prize, even if the treasure hunter finds the medallion.

   The first hunter to find the medallion must email info@nevadadaytreasurehunt.org, for validation of the medallion and eligibility and to redeem the prize. The winning hunter must provide to Organizer his or her name, date of birth, email address (if any), physical address and phone number and comply with all other requirements in these Official Rules. The winning hunter may also be required to execute an Affidavit of Eligibility and Liability/Publicity Release.
