I think every one of us at some point has fantasized about what it would be like to hunt for/discover "buried treasure." I mean, how many times have you seen people walking around with metal detectors on the beach? Personally, I've never been more enraptured in a movie theater than when I saw both "National Treasure" and "National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets" starring Nicholas Cage. The smart hunt that takes place in both movies is spectacular and just furthered the treasure fantasy. Now, there's this...
Artist Michel Becker has put out one book in the United Kingdom and another in France. Each has codes and riddles that need to be solved, and whose answers will lead to the location of a buried key, half of which is in each country. Once you find both halves, a grand prize is yours: a decorative golden box that the UK gave to France in 1904 to commemorate a peace pact known as the Entente Cordiale. It’s valued at about $900,000. The books cost about $30 apiece at the Golden Treasure of the Entente Cordiale website. Treasure seekers, go for it!
