Gold Rush Hints
This tombstone looks very odd.
1 of 15: It's especially odd considering your father was buried in Brooklyn.
2 of 15: Re-read the letter from Jake. He says he came to bury Pa.
3 of 15: Jake is probably trying to send you clues that only you will understand.
4 of 15: Everything on the tombstone is significant.
5 of 15: Note the name... your dad's name was Marshal Wilson!
6 of 15: Look at the date, and compare it to the date on your letter.
7 of 15: Look at the cannon, and remember the detail.
8 of 15: Look up that bible verse in your bible you got during the trip. Seems like a couple words stand out at you.
9 of 15: He's carried on by James and Jerrod? Your brother's name was Jake!
10 of 15: Something's definitely suspicious about this tombstone and the letter you got.
11 of 15: The holes that were cut out of the letter are awful curious, aren't they?
12 of 15: Try holding the letter up to the tombstone.
13 of 15: Now you'll see that the holes line up with letters in the tombstone.
14 of 15: Keep moving the letter around until you notice they line up just right. The game will tell you when you've got it.
