Dig Deep to Discover the Deity's Decoration

The Exploration Society has received word that a diary belonging to 18th-century mine owner, Sir Lumpsa Clay, has been unearthed during recent excavations in Purbeck. According to the diary, during a regular dig in one of the local mines, Clay and his workers discovered a unique urn rumoured to have belonged to the Norse god Odin. Fearing the consequences of his miners realizing the true value of the artifact, Clay buried it on a secret island off the Dorset Coastline. Lucky for us, he left clues and a map in his diary pointing to its hidden home, along with several false locations to distract treasure seekers. Are you ready to follow the curious clues and pinpoint the hiding spot where this amazing lost relic can be discovered? Good luck!
