after rereading the FAQ's and the only thing that stands out is the "don't just start digging randomly. You'll know when you've found it." comment.
Because I dont think these clues will let anyone know they've found it there are 2 ways you would "know" when you've found it.
1) the chest is only partially buried.
Pros - you would defiantly know when you found it
Cons - someone with no interest in the hunt could find it very easily if its out in the open

2) there is some sort of symbol above the exact spot where the treasure is burried. Something like a picture of tom, or maybe a tutty stuffed animal.
Pros - this would be less obvious to someone not involved in the hunt
Cons - unless it is in a very secluded place this could have led to someone finding their treasure prematurely.

IF i were to bury a treasure I would bury it on private property of someone sympathetic to the hunt. It is one thing to get a permit to dig a hole on some public land once, but to then subject whoever finds it to either risk breaking the law or having to wait around to get a permit seems a bit excessive.
The only middle ground I can seem to think of (someone add here if im missing something) is some sort of community gardening cite. But burying a chest there without anyone noticing would be pretty hard.

So in conclusion Im stumped
