Treasure Trap, in its various incarnations, is one of, if not the, oldest Live Action Roleplaying game systems in the world.
This retconning was intentional, with the team responsible having effectively been given carte blanche to recreate the Treasure Trap system in a way that would remove the baggage left behind by two decades of successive referee teams running things in their own way, with little or no regard for what had happened the year before.
Before the Crisis, the cosmos and timeline of treasure trap was ill defined, mangled, contradictory and so full of unresolved plots that it was a mess to try to wade through.

On the other hand, perhaps realizing that pirates or other treasure hoarders would have been unlikely to betray their secret work by leaving such an obvious indicator in place, some versions of the tale agree that the limb "had been sawed off" but that "the stump showed evidence of ropes and tackle" (Randle 1995, 75).
The treasure seekers and mystery mongers are quick, however, to dismiss any thoughts that the "shaft" and "tunnels" could be nothing more than a sinkhole and natural channels.

Treasure Trapping won't be everyone's cup of tea, and you might feel stupid at first (we certainly did), but those inclined to mock should remember that regularly getting up at 5.30 and spending £100s on Lycra doesn't suit everyone either.

The Gravity Trap Gold Pan kit comes with everything a prospector might need to locate and recover gold (except of course for detailed directions to the mother lode) including both a 14 inch and 10-1/2 inch Gravity Trap Gold Pan, a classifier sieve, a suction bottle, and a Highly informative how-to booklet.
Unlike the old metal pans and many of the other plastic pans available today, the Gravity Trap's design holds the gold securely in the pan so that even beginners would find it difficult to inadvertently wash their gold flake or dust out of the pan.
The design of the Gravity Trap Gold Pans ensures that virtually all gold, including fine flakes and dust, is readily retained in the pan.

You are given treasure maps as starting equipment, and many toss these on the ground, so you will have plenty of material to work with.
If it says "a ________ drawn treasure map" or "a tattered, _________ drawn treasure map", then you need the required cartography skill to use it (in the first case) or decode it (in the last case).
However, some static chests are trapped with 2 or even 3 traps and thus you would need to use the spell multiple times to be able to safely open a chest.

Just remember that if it’s stuff you don’t need and wouldn’t use anyway, it doesn’t qualify as ‘treasure.’ On the other hand, say you take the time to sort through it and carefully wash and fold each item because you want them to be nice and fresh and welcoming to their new owners.
The common misuse of the words ‘treasure,’ ‘gift,’ and ‘blessing’ seem to be pervasive within the highly available public Christian media, and these new definitions are forming roots in our tender souls.
If you treasure Him above all else, then you will be filled and completely satisfied in Him, you will feel the full blessings He wants to give to you, and you will have abundant treasure to share with others as well.
