The drama film "Shawshank Redemption" was released in 1994, with little success or recognition while playing in theatres, but gaining a great number of sales and acclaim after having been released on video.


Possible (minor) spoiler ahead:

When I watched this movie, I of course couldn't look past this one scene at the end where Morgan Freeman goes looking for a hidden box with a letter inside that his friend and former fellow inmate (portrayed by Tim Robbins) hid next to a line of rocks.

Click the image below to play the video.


Just like in this clip, follow the clear line of rocks (to the west) until you get to a nice tree at the end. At this tree you will find a rock that comes from far away; underneath this rock you will find your treasure.
Hopefully, you'll get the feeling that you've just been released from prison and walking in the sun for the first time!smiley

Note: A stamp and ink pad is included but please bring your own if you have one!

Don't trade or remove any of the items, only TBs.
