The Lost Treasure of Bosworth - Join the Hunt Today!

Legend has it that before the infamous Battle of Bosworth, Sir Percestrin Golda, King Richard's Treasurer, hid three chests of gold somewhere in Leicester. Sadly, both Richard and Perce were unable to escape the conflict, and knowledge of the gold died with them… Or so it seemed! Before his demise, Sir Perce detailed potential burial sites, along with a map, in his diary. This document was recently recovered during renovations at the Magazine Gateway, where Perce had tucked it away inside a wall. The document has now been sent to our team at the Exploration Society, and we need you - our TOP treasure seekers - to follow the clues and pinpoint the spot where the treasure trove is stashed away. Good luck - we're counting on you!
