Apparently, 3 puppet pirates and a ninja lost their gold in New York City, and they want you to find it for them! If you can find it, it's yours! That doesn't sound like a very piratey thing to do, but I could sure use a spare $10,000! It is all in gold colored $1 US coins. I ran across this story a week ago or so, and I have been trying to track down as much information as I could about who is actually behind this, but I haven't been able to find anything. They had a link to a web page that wasn't active when I first saw this, but it is up and running now. The treasure hunt begins August 1'st, 2010, and videos with clues to the location will be posted on their web site.

Is this for real?
Yes, absolutely. This is not a joke or a stunt.
Prove it.
Well, there's the rub. We can't show footage of the chest going into the ground; it might give something away. However…if you stick around, and look hard, we promise that you will see each and every one of the ten thousand dollar coins in our videos. That's the best we can do.
Is the treasure real gold?
Well…no. The treasure is 10,000 US mint one-dollar coins. Most of them are Sacagawea dollars, or the new Presidential one-dollar coins…the “John Quincy Adams†one is hands down our favorite. So they are gold-colored!!! But “actual gold,†no. Actual currency? Absolutely.
Why would you do this?
We wanted to create a real treasure hunt. If you're reading this, you've found the map, and there's a chest of “gold†waiting to be found. We've always wanted to experience the excitement of searching for pirate treasure, so we decided to give that feeling to everyone else.
Who are you?
We're not telling you.
