How to Find Hidden Treasure!

Get up early on a fall or winter day, while it's still dark.

Observe dog bust a grumpy. Using local landmarks, note where it is, so you can pick it up later.

At daylight, voyage forth to find the canine's vile intestinal product. Shuffle through leaves. Use landmarks. Nothing? Keep looking! Ah, what's that beneath your shoe? 

You have found the hidden treasure.
