The Master continued with her virtual events by conducting a Virtual Treasure Hunt. The searchers, including the Master, had to find a series of objects in their homes, and there would be a special prize at the end for whoever could bring to the screen the most unusual object in their house.
Having successfully completed three rounds, where everything from tomatoes to a paddle board were presented as "treasure" we came to the special prize round. The unusual objects were, well, unusual. The Master kicked off with a dried piranha fish. Dan was strangely proud of his deer hoof coat rack. Graham’s ammonite fossil was clearly the oldest item. Steve had a hookah pipe (why?); Susan had a wonderful Nigerian female warrior carving; Jean showed us a 150-year old metronome, and Pam a mandarin button beautifully made from a shell. The Master had no difficulty in selecting the winner: Christine who had an eighty-year-old gas mask. Just what one needs in these Corona times.
