While a member of The Armchair Treasure Hunt Club, in a series of team hunts with fellow club members, Shaun won:

  • A life-sized solid silver eagle in the ‘Flight of Fantasy’ hunt
  • A small wooden and silver lute in ‘Dunnin’s Loot’
  • A silver toad
  • A gazetteer, compass and wooden chest
  • A silver plaque of Scotland in Scottish Quest by Charles Cunningham

Deciphering clues in the book ‘Treasure’ written by Dan James for the East Midlands Tourist Board, Shaun and Alison claimed 3 solid gold coins, 3 weekend breaks and came within a hair’s breadth of claiming the £250,000 main prize.

The Pot of Gold by Tom Haze yielded the prize of a pot of 200 £1 coins.

In the Dash Discovery Trail, Shaun and Alison won a place in the final to compete in a special one-off of TV’s “The Crystal Maze”.

Shaun and family won a place in the final of the Sunday Observer Treasure Hunt.
