The Missing Peacock Stones - A Treasure Hunt through Retford

The eccentric Lord Muck was famed for his entertaining skills and was regularly invited to soirees at West Retford Hall. Nothing would shine brighter at these parties than the mysterious multi-faceted 'Peacock Stones', hung around the neck of Lord Muck's beloved sister, Lady Jules Glittersmuch. They were said to sparkle and shimmer all the iridescent blue-green hues of a peacock's plumage. Sadly, after one rather raucous party, Lady Jules awoke to discover the jewels were missing and last seen in a beak of a peacock! Her ladies maids scoured the area without success and even drew up a map of all possible drop zones. The Muck descendants recently unearthed the map and have reached out to the Exploration Society. Can you - our TOP treasure seekers - follow the Clues and pinpoint the priceless trinket so the unique inheritance can be returned?
