Thursday at Comic-Con, immediately following its about an unofficial and
speculative (but informed) look at the forthcoming pair of films based on
"The Hobbit," TheOneRing.net, with a big assist from Weta, will launch a
physical scavenger hunt for dragon's gold at the San Diego Comic-Con. Prizes
will be provided by Weta and include the book "The Art of the Fellowship of
the Ring," signed by Richard Taylor, Alan Lee, John Howe, Gino Acevedo and
Daniel Falconer and 50 Weta Dollars. Read on for all the details!

Weta chief Richard Taylor, TORn's guest at the panel, will officially send
listeners and anybody else who wants to participate, scurrying for the loot
with a clue regarding its location.

The item to find is a large "gold" coin, handmade by Weta Workshop and then
hidden in the Convention Center. The winner will receive acclaim and glory
at both Wetanz.com and TheOneRing.net where we will post the winners.

Those wishing to claim the prize will be required to be visibly wearing a
temporary Weta tattoo (whilst stocks last), provided at the Weta booth and
to those at the panel by TORn staffers.

extension to the path that passes in front of Bag End has been marked out
also. There will be several new Hobbit holes dotted along its length. Check
