 		www.tweleve.org
The other treasure site is www.tweleve.org. It was a site created for the Treasure's Trove treasure hunt, and there are many experienced treasure hunters there who are looking for Dr. Pepper coins.

Of course, you must always be cautious when believing what you read on the 'net.....

What I would really like is for people to post photographic evidence of a coin in hand. Even then, it might not be real, I guess, but we need something to tell us to stop-- getting up at 4:00AM to search is driving me nuts!

 		ah, coo. Well, apparently in that thread someone was able to get the official word that the website won't be updated (and operators simply do not know) with the status of claimed coins until all the coins have been found.

So unless you know visually that someone has found a coin (or heard previously from an operator that a coin was found), we really don't know if they're found or not. Confused So it's time to drive and check and hope. *sigh*

ETA: thread in question is here. Also note that Clue #10 of the virtual was corrected.

 		Okay. This is now officially crazy.

I get home from the hunt. Get some breakfast in me, and some loonies post about 'duct tape under a bench'

I proceed to get back to my area, and have the most -revolting- experience of my life. I put my hands under every park bench in the area.

In the melted snow and mud.

Halfway through, I was begging to find duct tape, or even the sticky remants of duct tape. I did find:

Dirt
Fungus
Gum
Wig Hair
Slime.

At this point, I hope it's already been found. This is exhausting. I'm now on my seventh trip through this muck in 4 days.

Any confirmation on 'victorious' cities aside from SanFran?

That was me. I called at 5 a.m. this morning and that's the information they gave me. Later I called the 1-888-drpeppe number to ask them why they can't update the information sooner on their website. I explained to them the dilemma that several of us are facing. Do we drive 4 plus hours to look for a coin that's not placed or do we drive 4 plus hours to look for a coin that might have been found even though it might not yet be placed! What an ugly scenario. LOL! She completely understood, but promised nothing.

On a side note, one of the ATT token finders just witnessed the coin from Oklahoma City being found at the fair grounds. It appeared to have just been dropped in a flower bed. I guess the "hider" couldn't take the time to really hide the coin - too many seekers looking perhaps?!

 		Take it or leave it, there's really no proof I can provide over an internet forum.

Would you rather me photochop something together to look more convincing?

 		 146 years ago this was the CSA
My search may have ended...
Just like the rest of you guys, I have desperately been trying to locate enough bottle caps to catch up with the treasure hunt. I started about a week and a half ago and have been drinking 3-4 Diet DPs a day, along with scrounging bottlecaps out of the recycle bins and garbage cans at work. (It has yielded about half of my clues Laughing ) Now, I am at clue 25 or 26 and know pretty darn well where it should be (I have to look at a large park or find 4 more caps and narrow it down more.) I tried googling the information on one of my most recent clues and found the "sorry, someone found it yesterday" post on a Q&A website. Not to be deterred, I am still searching with the problem that I had most of my bottlecaps disposed of by an overzealous sanitation worker. Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad
IF I find the coin, then I may not be able to prove that I "earned" it with all of the bottle caps.
So, do I scavenge more and hope for the best, or do I swear off Dr. Pepper for the rest of my natural life and cut my losses here?

How about where you heard it from so it can be verified? So far, the most substantial ones I've heard are San Fran and Oklahoma City. Just listing cities doesn't do any of us any good.

 		Any additional news on the Ok City find? I can't seem to find posted info about that.

Also, can guest provide more information about Washington DC? OK City and San Fran I have seen in multiple sources, Washington DC isn't mentioned anywhere else.

 		I'd like to here more about Chicago, honestly. If there are alternate sources, I'd like to hear them.

 		The D.C. coin was on a lamp pedestal, the Chicago coin under a bench. I don't know where the S.F. coin was hidden.

All will become clear as winners are announced. We're talking a minimum value of $10k per coin, so if you were really serious about this, go check it out for yourself. I'm posting some progress for the entertainment of the rest of us idlers.
