pongo Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Reminds me of the Masquerade book back in the early 1980s. IIRC someone tried digging up the churchyard at Maughold looking for the golden rabbit. Masquerade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about some Botticelli Venuses emerging nude from a couple of Manx scallop shells? Should do well on Youtube. Being Botticelli would mean it was art, not smut.

Frances Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 guess there is no truth in rumour that ithas aleady been dredged by a scottish boat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Coo! That sounds like a lark. Not great at puzzles though (although oddly aptitude tests seem easy). Hell, I can't even see a link for how to get involved in the shell hunt thing, so that probably indicates I'd be wasting my time trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 i would imagine that a 'friend' of the person that allegedly burried it has 'found' it already, probably before it got burried??. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
