A trail of clues awaits in

Downham Market

Rumour has it that a time capsule, buried in 1936, contained six rare Edward VIII gold coins, now valued at £1.5 million each. The town mayor has decided to dig up the capsule and remove the coins for safekeeping. However, notorious prankster Tom Tucker got to the capsule first and has already removed the contents. In a twist, he has reburied the items and left behind a map and clues for the mayor to find. But Tucker has also threatened to destroy the contents unless he receives 10 bitcoins within the next 48 hours. The mayor refuses to give in to the threat and is seeking brave explorers to solve the clues and find the missing time capsule. Are YOU up for the challenge?
