Spoilers/Speculation
Slowhatch:
When you read the Imdb entry, there are some expected things: Boston, New York, and South Carolina (probably Fort Pulaski; it's right on the border). But there are also a couple of curious entries. The first is "coordinator:GE." Google Earth? General Electric?
The second is a number of references to "Mansefield." According to the Census there's not a single town in the U.S. with that name. When you google it you get a lot of hits about Fort William, Scotland, at the base of Ben Nevis mountain.

Symbols:
* Railing with the Star of David and a Budded Cross. My first thought on seeing this was "Unitarian," because Unitarians and Quakers were well-represented in the UGRR, but I could be wrong.
* A stylized caduceus, maybe?
* The reverse of the Great Seal on the dollar bill is shown; an explanation here.

--- Quote from: Great Falls Tribune ---The hunt for clues continues
Two Sundays ago, we admitted that the crews filming a reality TV show in the Great Falls area last month weren't from CBS' "The Amazing Race," as we had speculated. Beyond that, we were stumped.
An unidentified local guy who worked on the project called the newsroom but he had signed some sort of "under pain of death if you talk" contract and provided little new info.
Then, the same Internet explorer who set us straight the first time e-mailed to say all signs point to NBC's "Treasure Hunters." The reality show reportedly was cast in April and May, and filming began in August for a springtime premiere.
According to the network's Web site, NBC was looking for "unique groups of three to compete for thrills and riches in television's first global treasure hunt" The treasure hunters "will face exciting challenges requiring brains, stamina, passion, and teamwork."
The teams will be sent on a global search to solve a puzzle. The first team to uncover all the clues will be told the location of a hidden treasure.
Any more clues? Call 791-1491 on Monday or email tribcity@sofast.net

Were you the internet explorer, Puddin? :hero: You knew all along! :hfive: Maybe you could trade some more information with that guy on the newspaper. Although the newspaper mentions power boats, the portage cap below might be from the Benton area.

--- Quote from: Anchorage Daily News April 12, 2006 ---Last Frontier spent last summer scouting locations on the Matanuska and Knik glaciers and in Hatcher Pass for a new NBC reality series called "Treasure Hunters." The company ferried 150 people daily to shoots on the glaciers.

Oops. The paper mentions Last Frontier Air Ventures as the helicopter company. Their helos don't match the caps, but who knows...
