Tropes

  • Rouge Angles of Satin: Part of a clue found on an "other part uv map" dug up at the first spot, reading "C. Myrer 1853". They figure out it's not a name, but "see mirror". Putting the piece up to a mirror at the saloon, it reveals "HEX marx the spot", "HEX" in split letters made whole by the mirror.
  • "X" Marks the Spot: The first one, where it turns out the other map piece is buried, was created via mirror image by a chrome thermos placed against the end of an "arrow" on Bronco's copy of the map. The cincher was what the narrow reflection also revealed, made from other various markings on said map, the words "dig heer". The second, the location of the treasure itself, was on the "X" in "HEX" on the map piece, which when fitted upon Bronco's map put it in a location found by forming an identical triangle against the hypotenuse of the one used for the first "X"—A mirrored one, to be exact.
