The Mission: Trek across the “City of Brotherly Love” in search of clues to a hidden treasure. With historical facts, locations and markers as a source of information, members of the 2005 Faith and Freedom Tour used a Caeser Cipher to decode clues and help them find the location of $100 in American Eagle silver coins hidden somewhere in the historic center of Philadelphia. Approximately ten clues brought the treasure hunters to famous Christ’s Church where they located a loose brick under which was hidden a riddle to be ciphered and solved. The final riddle was this:

Where merchants once exchanged their wares, the noble lions sleep. They guard a precious history, and valued treasures keep.

The answer: The Philadelphia Merchant Exchnage — where the treasure was hidden under the great stone lions.

But — to the dismay of eager young boys and precocious girls, the treasure was found by a pair of grannies who used their head (rather than their brawn) to solve the mysteries.
