Holmes summoned me from the study with news of an exciting new case. He had just received a letter from a young lady who had recently been informed of an inheritance due her. The ingénue had enlisted Holmes’ help as receiving the proceeds would not be so easy as simply showing up to claim them. Rather, she must decipher the whereabouts of a cache hidden somewhere in the countryside.
“What sort of a twisted probate is this,” I wondered aloud. "What do we have to go on?"
“The directions are included, Watson. However, they take the form of an encoded puzzle. But as I always say ‘What one man can invent, another can discover.’ Take a look and tell me what you see.”

I stared at it for several minutes and finally had to admit defeat. I saw nothing but gibberish on the page.
Suddenly Holmes sprang to his feet. “I believe I have it!”
Shaking my head, I again wondered aloud, “You have it? But how?”
Ignoring my query, Holmes grabbed his GPS and reached for his coat as he headed toward the door. "Come now, Watson, the game is afoot!”
Congratulations to DOUGS94andLINDA for being the FTF with no hints. FTF prize was a 2006 Friar Tuck - Robin Hood County geocoin from Nottinghamshire, UK. It is numbered, but not trackable.
Good luck!
