------------

Beginning Monday, Oct. 5 and continuing every weekday for 15 days - or until the treasure is found - the Nevada Appeal will run clues to the Nevada Day Treasure Hunt on nevadaappeal.com and in the newspaper.

The treasure - a medallion - will be hidden on public property somewhere in Carson City, Churchill, Douglas, Lyon, Storey or Washoe counties. The leather pouch containing the medallion will not be buried, and no structure will have to be disturbed or climbed to find it.

The first person to find the medallion and return it to the Appeal office, 580 Mallory Way in Carson City, during normal business hours will receive the $500 prize money and a plaque.

Hunters should visit the Web site www.nvdaytreasurehunt.com to register.

Registration makes them eligible to win an additional $500 if they find the medallion.

If the treasure is not redeemed by 5 p.m. Oct. 23 the contest will terminate and no prize will be awarded.

Winners must be Nevada residents and 18 years of age or older as of Oct. 5, 2009 to participate.
