Owl and Raccoon set the notched doubloon in the hole bored through the stone wall.
“Think it’ll work?” Raccoon asked.
“Positive,” Owl said, taking a few steps back.
The sun began to set. He hurried back to the wall and rotated the coin’s position in the hole, so that it mirrored a nearby paint-flecked stone.
“Look at the shadows the sun makes through the crack and fissures.”
“A skull!”
In the growing, purple night, they followed the narrow beam of light from the coin’s notch, and dug where it landed.
“We’ve finally found it,” Owl said, his shovel striking wood.
