Geocache Description:

Congratulations to gotdirt420 for his FTF on 6-8-10!

Thaddeus Knox, (a direct, but little known descendent of Henry Knox (whom Knox county was named after) was an eccentric, miser of a man. Nicknamed, "Knoxnikel", it was rumored that he mined and hid away a small fortune in silver (an other valuables) during his lifetime. After years of searching for the fabled treasure...we finally found it! Now, we would like to share some of our good fortune with others. But, we're not going to just give it away. You'll have to find it. Your journey starts by the eastern end of Old Mine Road just north of Knoxville, Illinois at the coordinates listed above. As always, watch out for muggles and please be kind to the environment. Good Luck!
