Manx Gold - A Treasure Hunt?

It is impossible to judge whether or not Manx Gold was a successful means of promoting tourism to the Isle of Man. The fact that Islanders were not allowed to take part in the hunt may have been a cause of apathy among the Islanders. This may also have accounted for various acts of gentle sabotage, such as the laying of false snuff boxes and spoof clues. And I suppose we should be thankful that while there may have been some discarded peel and hurt feelings resulting from Agatha Christie's treasure hunt, we had nothing like the fallout from Ariadne Oliver's murder hunt at Nass House.
