That's what I am wondering too. Don't know about "treasures", but you need a permit to hide a geocache on state land...

lol.. not to play devils advocate but man, how thing change with something people don’t really like or want. It was a total uproar about the state possibly requiring permits for the roads, and now everyone is pushing for the proper permits and the following of every state rule to play a game. Seems a little hypocritical, but what do I know or care. Just an obvious observation.

I was not pushing for permits, just wondering what the state was going to do.

"Everyone" is three people mentioning permits in this thread. Who was "pushing for permits"? I pointed out a law that regulates hiding geocaches on state land - something I never even knew existed until it was discussed here in the past. However, given that such a law exists, should it only apply to ordinary geocachers and exempt a social media influencer who is building his brand by hiding money and drawing "dozens and dozens of cars of people" to search around Caranza Road?

Veil has posted the location and associated clues for the recent local hunt, in case anyone would like to check them out. As I understand it, a person can sign up to Veil for free and be eligible to claim treasures as well as see search radii for hunts and images from their trail cam. Clues, however, must be purchased. According to the Veil FAQ, typically half of that money goes to the finder of the treasure.

now everyone is pushing for the proper permits

I wasn't pushing for permits. Guess that makes me a nobody. :(

Even nobody is a somebody. Hahaha My comment wasn’t meant to be any harm, but rather stating what I saw and perceived. Alls well…

Don't have that that one, but a girl I knew picked this up for me in a second-hand shop in Hunterdon County 7 years ago (where that mill is with the huge waterwheel). I was arguing with the prorprieter over the price. When we went to have coffee, she ran back and bought it for me. He was probably a better crooner than his contemporaries at the time.
