Profits from this year’s treasure hunt are again being used to fund our digital archiving project. This ambitious undertaking involves scanning our 160,000 artifact collection, including many one-of-a-kind items highlighting Lancaster County’s rich architectural heritage. The project is expected to cost upwards of $200,000. So while you are busy trying to find Uncharted Lancaster’s treasure, you are helping us to preserve ours.

The first team to successfully complete this exciting five-week expedition unlocks the hiding place of the Jewel of the Susquehanna, which redeems for an 18-pound coin-laden puzzle box (worth $350) filled with $1,125 in one dollar coins. Second and third-place finishers receive $500 and $250, respectively. In addition, an honorable mention fourth place prize of $125 for the team with the highest score on the leaderboard (and is not among the first three Jewel of the Susquehanna finders).

First place includes the massive Jewel of the Susquehanna and $1,125 in one dollar coins inside a one-of-a-kind puzzle box.
