On a piece of ground marked by a line, a copper coin, pencil, or other small item is hidden—preferably in some crevice or hole. Near a tree, hide a knife 2—3 paces away, so that it is slightly visible. Hide it on the ground 2 times, and on the third, stick it into the trunk fairly high up. Hide the pencil behind your own ear; wrap a piece of string around a mossy twig. Stick a dozen pins into the trunk—whoever finds the most; do the same with matches.
