4. Is everything in the treasure hunt package authentic?

Your treasure hunt kit will include authentic items which will be from about the mid-1800's to the early 1900's. This is why no two kits are alike. Here's a sample of the kind of items that might be included in your kit:.

  • A 1904 postcard
  • A photo from the late 1800's
  • A stock certificate from 1904 (the stock will be canceled and obsolete)
  • A newspaper from 1882
  • A stereoview from the late 1800's
  • Clay marbles from the 1890's

All of these pieces are 100% authentic. Again, the items in your kit will not be exactly the same but this gives you an idea of what to expect.

In order to facilitate certain elements of the hunt, the following items are not authentic:

  • The letter with the clues
  • The medicine bottle
  • The item your treasure will be hidden in

When your treasure hunters open their kit with all of the above items, they will definitely feel like they've taken a step back in time.
