Oooh this is interesting, I have never heard of this treasure hunt, it must be very hard, much too hard for me. I am just joining on the Entente Cordiale hunt and see that one of the men involved in my treasure hunt was also involved in the Golden Owl hunt.

I've been working on this hunt for a while and hope to be heading to France with my owl digging shovel when travel is allowed! I think it's great that the clues and images are freely available, but it is worth noting that this hunt almost certainly involves drawing lines on a map of France. The one map that was used to set the hunt was the Michelin 989. This was published up until about 2002. It's easy to get old copies on eBay here in the UK and they're very cheap. It's possible other maps or Google Earth would work, but as some specific measurements are given (eg. 185km) it's possible other maps will plot slightly different lines. Just my thoughts, but I'm sure a general solution could be worked out and then you could get the 989 to try it on that. Are you heading to France for some digging soon, will be interested to see if you can end this interesting hunt?

Are we using counterfeit and countermark interchangeably? I have many antient Roman coins that are countermarked (counter-stamped). They hammered these marks on the previous ruler's coins to keep them current.

I have found a final zone that I feel pretty good about. But...I'm concerned I won't be able to figure out the super solution because I don't speak French. I can use a translator but I will lose word counts, letter counts etc. I gonna keep on tryin' tho. Good luck jo! I'm on your site every day. wigreeves...understandable after seeing the effects of the Fenn treasure events. Can you read musical note sheets Gh?

Hi choice,
Once upon a time I read music for the saxophone.
I play guitar by charts but not really reading notes.

goldhunter and choice where do you both live and which area of France do you need digging? A town or city is fine for confidentiality, I have a lot of family and connections perhaps I can help.

And you don't need to dig a hole. You (only) need to wave a mobile phone around just above ground-level showing raw magnetometer data, like phyphox does. QUESTION No. 37 OF 2001-10-02 --- TITLE: COMPASS DARE TO ASK YOU ONCE AGAIN THIS TTE QUESTION MAX BUT I WOULD LIKE TO BE COMPLETELY SURE OF HAVING TO ABANDON MY TRAIL: YOU CONFIRM THAT A BOUSSO LE WILL NOT BE OF ANY USEFUL TO ME WHEN I AM A FEW METERS FROM THE CACHE (I STILL BELIEVE IN IT) FRIENDS NELLY --- I CONFIRM. GOOD, IT IS NOW PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE THAT I BURY MAGNETS AT THE SAME TIME AS THE COUNTERMARKS, WHICH ALLOWS ME, BY APPROACHING A COMPASS TO THE CACHE, TO VERIFY THAT EVERYTHING IS IN PLACE. IF THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO, I WOULD LIKE TO SPECIFY THAT THIS DOES NOT CONCERN THE RESEARCHERS, BUT ONLY ME. RS SEARCHERS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO SEARCH FOR MAGNETS! ALSO, I NEVER SAID THAT THE OWL CACHE CONTAINED A MAGNET IN ADDITION TO THE COUNTERMARK. IF THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO, I WILL PLEASE CONFIRM THAT A COMPASS IS NOT NECESSARY.

Thanks, aloftcroft! That might be easier for me to get someone to do.

But apparently there is no Magnet in the owl according to Max.

I guess in modern times a GPS chip would be put in with the treasure!

I ask because i have a small owl i found baried along time ago at first when i found it .it looked like a rock . Ive been cleaning that small owl since 2019 when i found it ..it was beried across the street from a church in USA ,LA... The wired part about this owl is that it has markings all over it but i cant get the markings to show clearly..
Can anyone identify the owl ..can anyone help me fine out ...what can I do

I wouldn't go digging near churches unearthing buried stuff especially an owl that symbolizes bad luck and death. That said, the golden owl is much much larger than you describe. BTW kidding about the bad omen. It's only a bad omen if you believe it to be.
