On October 3rd, the longest chasse au trésor came to an exhilarating conclusion. Hidden somewhere in France, the mythical chouette d'or was buried during the night of April 23-24, 1993. After 31 years, it has reportedly been discovered.
The Origins of the Treasure Hunt
This treasure hunt was initiated by Max Valentin (under the pseudonym Régis Hauser), a lover of enigmas, who collaborated with artist Michel Becker, responsible for illustrating the puzzles and creating the golden owl. They published a book compiling eleven riddles leading to the bronze copy (or countermark) of the chouette d'or.
