Treasure discovered at Slyvan Glen lake park in Troy MI. 

08/15/2020 - Oakland County, MI

*Original riddle  
——————————————————-

I took my treasure past rolling hills and came to a westward path into the forest's deep. A place that death had made famous - - and a place covered beautifully by a lush canopy of trees. I was delighted more so when I came to a place - - with a bridge over water, both sides so filled by life's grace. To one side I likened a place I felt adorned, and to the other side, a place one may speak on through metrics. I went back a ways until I saw - - a nameless trail that filled me with awe. I soon came upon three big, old trees; then I likened them to three letter V's. The treasure I've buried that's oh so sweet - - it's in the dirt, heightened between the trees. The Silver awaits, there for you to find; using your wits is using your mind. This quest may bring you through many long trails, but they're sure to be filled a plenty - - through unparalleled tales!

Good luck and be safe! Our prayers are with you all ❤️

08/30/2020 - Macomb County, MI

*Original riddle  
————————————

One head that splits before coming together again as one, just have your shadow guide your entrance during the noon day sun. However, though, before beginning to travel, you'll need to find the place - - where the pavement turns to gravel. You'll start at a formation of earth when you begin your adventure; you'll want to know the type of fuel that might feed flame in one's venture. How will you know that you're close to the treasure you seek? Why, you'll hear the sounds of running water - - from a nearby creek! Be wise now, so you'll choose the right trail. One takes you away; the other lifts the veil. In a place so beautiful, there's no need to test your steady. The X lies in an earthen deposit - - covered by that which is heavy. You'll have to remove what may feel like a ton, but now the race is over; take what you've won!

Godspeed to all! Our thoughts and prayers are with you❤️

2 part riddle
______________________________________

A start unlike most; like a spark from his poem, curiosity driven; our love brought us here. As she crossed three streams, still 30 to go. I watched for her between the highest and the creek. Upon first sight, our love sparked and grew. No kindling needed, a connection attributed - - with passion to keep. Under the stars, I took her tightly by the hand as we walked between these places. I found my sanctuary within her - - and her home found within me. Nearly 2 later, at our spot, her hand adorn; the best was yet to be. It was at this spot, made up of two, we both found our romance - - was rare and true. If you have wits, tell me what places make up our spot that is made up of two.

Part 2
From the opening scene, advance by eleven. A figure upon its face, sharing its measure. The advantage of emotion? It leads us astray. Existence is fleeting, and the sand will run through; just as the earth has been marked by the passage of time, so has both of our lives been eternally changed. From the trails to the creek, and from the valleys to the peak, this place, anchored in enchantment, is worthy - - to hold the treasure you seek. We placed the bag of rings where we found beauty preserved and timber empty. Measure your mind's height by the shadow it casts. Gather your wits; which bridge will you take? With the treasure in hand, you will be filled by its grandeur!
