h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A516205

This is a silly little piece detailing a few of the lost treasures (lost gold, lost silver, lost robber caches) to be found in my home state of Pennsylvania.

Please note that if anyone actually finds lost gold using this entry, my fee for posting it here is 10 percent of the loot!

Cheers!

I have to say, this one's really interesting. Imagine - if *all* that loot was found it would probably have a massive impact on the global economy!

I really can't find anything to criticize (constructively of course!) in any of your entries. But then, you *are* a sub-ed...

Jimi X,

Very nicely done. And all this time, I thought Pennsylvania was only just a state to drive through between New York and Washington, DC. Nah, I'm just teasing you...

Seriously though, this has a nice balance of whimsy and fact, and it should make it into the edited guide. My only quibble is that it should be "Tories" in there. And now I'm going to buy myself a shovel.

Yours,
Jake

Thanks guys. I'll go fix that bit about the Tories...

Thanks for your recommendation. You'll be glad to know that we think this
entry is great, and it has now gone into the Editorial Process for future
inclusion in the Edited Guide. When it does get into the Edited Guide, we
will email to let you know, but please bear in mind it can take a while for
entries to go through the sub-editing system. Thanks for writing for the guide!

Editorial Note: This thread has been moved out of the Peer Review forum because this entry has now been recommended for the Edited Guide.

If they have not been along already, the Scout who recommended your entry will post here soon, to let you know what happens next. Meanwhile you can find out what will happen to your entry here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/SubEditors-Process
