To the rangers at Harpers Ferry National Park, Holli Myers might have struck them as a bit peculiar. As this Vestal, NY native meandered the park she would stop and stick her had in the knot of a tree, or bend over to look carefully under a rock formation or stone wall. Not the typical behavior of a tourist at the West Virginia park. What they didn't realize was that Holli Myers was not the typical tourist, she was on a quest...for treasure; and her mission was about to pay off.

From an ancient tree on the banks of the Shenandoah River she removed a small copper coin with the phrase etched into it "You clever, clever person!” Holli was indeed a clever person, for her and her team had just solved a mystery that had confounded thousands of other people. The coin that she had discovered was worth over $50,000 in treasure.

Holli's team had found the main prize of The Guardian's Amulet, the first in a series of nationwide treasure hunts from treasure purveyor ScrollQuest.com. The Guardian's Amulet is essentially a treasure map, with clues to a treasure hidden in it's cryptic text and illustrations. Since it's release in November of 2005, this "ScrollQuest" has sent thousands of its readers scouring the country in search of a mysterious coin that would be their ticket to winning a $50,000 bejeweled amulet. Holli and her team rose above the competition, winning this real-life treasure and the respect of the treasure hunts creator.

"We're so proud of these ladies." said Jason King founder of ScrollQuest.com and author of The Guardian's Amulet "We really couldn't have ended up with a nicer set of winners."

Holli was part of a three-woman team of "treasure hunters" that put their heads together to unravel the mysteries hidden within the Guardian's Amulet. Holli, along with Vickki Martinus, of Tulsa, Oklahoma and Martina Thompson of Allen, Texas, spent several months working on the puzzles contained within The Guardian's Amulet. They even coined a name for themselves, "The GAGA Sisterhood"; GA being an abbreviation for Guardian's Amulet. When the three ladies figured out the treasure was hidden in Harpers Ferry, they turned the actual finding duties over to Myers being that she was the closest of the three to West Virginia. Her eight-hour trip from New York seems to have been worth the drive.

"I still can't believe it's real. It seems like a dream I haven't yet woken up from,” said Myers.

The $50,000 prize for The Guardian's Amulet is far from the only treasure available from ScrollQuest.com. The companies other two unsolved treasure maps, The Gris-Gris Doll and The Idol of Xi, have a combined prize value of $175,000.
