Hi Reddit! Last year, a friend and I buried ten grand somewhere in New York and gave clues to where it's hidden. Nobody has found it yet.

A friend of mine makes puppets and I'm a video guy. We thought it would be fun to put together a real treasure hunt. A treasure hunt where you don't have to sign up for anything or take some silly trivia test or something. So we each took 5 grand out of our own pockets and put it into this project (and the ground). Then we pooled our resources and pulled favors left and right to make it look as good as we possibly could. The feedback has been great, but a lot of people thought it was a corporate marketing scheme. It's not. We're just two guys who grew up loving The Goonies and The Muppets. We've always wanted to find a treasure map in our attic or in a library so we could go on our own adventures, so we figured we'd bring that feeling to other people. Here is our youtube channel which has our trailer for the series. This is our website.

tl; dr: A friend and I each put $5000 underground and made these videos that give clues to where it is. Also, we're not Walmart.
