We are proud to announce that Georgia's seventh annual Salem Gold Coin Hunt returns this October, courtesy of the Peabody Essex Museum! Each Saturday and Sunday throughout October, Georgia will release special clues at 12 noon through her Instagram page and the PEM's Instagram story. Those clues will help coin hunters narrow down where to search for one of Salem's most exclusive collectibles!
Coins are hidden in historically significant places. We make great efforts to conceal them in a way that allows them to be easily found by someone looking for them (but not by accident). They are always hidden in areas open to the general public, and no admission, purchase, or special access is necessary.
If you find a coin, congratulations! We ask that coins be limited to one per household each season. If you missed out, there is another chance each Saturday & Sunday in October! Please have fun & be respectful of your fellow coin hunters!
Sponsored by the Peabody Essex Museum.
