"Our readers enjoyed looking for the Golden Football and the Golden Christmas Tree so much that we decided to create a new hunt for the summer as well," said publisher Rick Bacon.
Like the Golden Football and Christmas Tree, the seashell will be worth $500. "Maybe they can take their winnings and enjoy a weekend at the beach looking for seashells," Bacon suggested.
He added that the seashell will be hidden outdoors on property open to the public. "That means it could be at any school, church, business or government location in the county," he explained. "There are some places we would not hide it. Among those are cemeteries and places where you could put yourself in danger getting to the seashell. You won't find it in a divided highway median, for example, nor will it be behind a fence or on property marked private or no trespassing."
Just like the Golden Football, which was won by Melinda Pike of Wadesboro last fall, and the Christmas Tree, won by Lynn Davidson of Chesterfield, S.C., the seashell contains a certificate of authenticity.
You must bring both the Golden Seashell and the certificate to The Anson Record offices at 123 E. Martin St., Suite 400, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to claim the $500 cash prize.
Once the Golden Seashell is found, the winner will have his or her photo taken for use in the following week's newspaper.
The first two clues can be found in this week's edition of the paper, and subsequent clues will run once a week for the next six weeks, ending June 23.
Golden Seashell seekers can get a first look at the week's clues on Mondays or Fridays at one of nine local businesses. Participating merchants include: Badcock Furniture, Forbes Jewelers, Highland Tours, Second to Nature, Beachum & Lee Ford, Southern Stilz, Carolina Physical Rehab, Twin Valley Country Club and Aurora Family Counseling.
