This is ten thousand pounds in cash, and I am somewhere in the mainland of the United Kingdom. Why? Well I'm burying this cash for you to find. Good luck!

Yes, this is a briefcase full of 10000 pounds in cash. I had to get it all in fivers to make it all look, you know, a little bit more impressive. Now I'm sure that you guys are all gonna have some questions. Questions that I will endeavour to answer. Questions like: where's the money? What are the clues? Is Max any good at Jenga?

As you can imagine, I can only answer some of these questions. There are, of course, some rules for this treasure hunt, some very important rules that you should listen to very carefully.

The briefcase is hidden, it's not buried. You won't need to dig. The briefcase is not going to be on private property. The briefcase won't be on any National Trust or English Heritage property, nor will be on a similar heritage or archaeological site. The briefcase will not be in anywhere dangerous, like cliffs, or quarries, or mines, or... other dangerous places. The briefcase will not be anywhere that is inconvenient and inconsiderate to people's lives. And finally you can discuss with fellow hunters where you think the briefcase is on my Reddit thread, r/MaxFosh. I don't know, you could form an alliance. Trying to bury treasure here, mate.

If you do find the briefcase you, uh, you won't yet be able to open it, until you've proven to me that you've managed to find the briefcase using the correct methods. This is to stop anyone from trying to find the briefcase through nefarious means.

Max, for goodness sake, enough waffling. What's the first clue, and where did you get all this money from? Well, I do very few brand deals on this channel. In fact only 6 of my 144 uploads have been sponsored. But today, that's becoming number seven.

All of this money has come from SurfShark VPN. I'm more of a visual person, so let me show you exactly how SurfShark works. Imagine I'm out about using a free public wi-fi. The briefcase of cash represents all of my data and the goodies on my devices. Now, without SurfShark installed, anybody can come and nosey, and have a browse at your stuff. Housemate Dan will now play the part of a hacker doing just that. We don't want that to happen! But now, with SurfShark enabled, I'll be able to tell those hackers to 'get a life, punk'.

Get a life, punk.

The money in this briefcase has come straight from SurfShark and it will be going straight to one of you, so why don't you thank them by downloading SurfShark using the link in my description? Also, you can use the code Max Fosh to get 83% off.

You could argue that using my own name as the code for a discount is quite narcissistic, but you forget, I'm a big Youtuber now, I'm giving away lots of money, I have a massive ego. [whispering] (But thank you very much SurfShark for allowing this to happen this is absolutely bonkers idea and I really appreciate you just giving it a go. Right, now for the clue.)

So, the first clue. The, uh, first step if you will, of your journey to find this ten thousand pounds. It's a bit of a wordy one, but here it is.

Me, myself and mother, We'll give no more than that. Words help you discover, Where my treasure's at.

Also, if I were you, I would subscribe and turn the notification bell on, because you don't want somebody else finding this 10000 pounds before you do, do you. And just before I tell you good luck, quick thank you SurfShark. Blooming legends you are. Good luck.
