This year: Tim lost his ID—along with $5,000 and two diamond rings.

Help Tim Find His ID

Ye keep the $5,000 — and both diamond rings.

Tim drove every Seba Beach property in his side-by-side. Somewhere along the way — the back trails, the cliff edge, the new beach — his ID, $5,000 in hundred-dollar bills, and two diamond rings slipped away into the woods. Find them, and everything but the ID is yours. He just wants his ID back. That's it. That's the whole deal.

The 2026 Seba Beach Treasure Hunt

What is Tim Lost Something?

Tim Lost Something? is a real public treasure hunt around Seba Beach on Lake Wabamun, Alberta. This year, Tim lost his ID—along with roughly $5,000 in cash and two diamond rings. Finders may keep the cash and rings; Tim only asks that his ID be returned to SebaHub.

The Deal: Finders Keepers

No riddles to buy, no entry fee, no catch. Three things are lost out there. Two of them are yours to keep.

$5,000

The cash is all yours

About five grand in hundred-dollar bills (with some 20s and 5s riding along) — it was earmarked to pay Randy's crew, and now it's earmarked for you. Keep every dollar.

💍💍

The rings are all yours

Two diamond rings in a teeny little baggie — pawn-shop finds, a couple of diamonds each, meant to be gifts someday. Consider them gifted. Keep 'em both.

🪪

All he needs: his ID

Tim's government ID, wrapped in an elastic band. It's his identity, and it's the only thing he's asking for. Drop it at SebaHub (162 Second Ave) or mail it in. No questions asked.

🏴‍☠️ Is this for real? Aye — dead serious. Scroll down for the last photo of the loot, then read the interview where Tim retraces every stop. The clues are in his answers.

📻 Hunt updates Friday mornings on 840 CFCW — tune in to hear if the pot climbs to $10,000.

The Last Known Photo

Taken on tour day — Tim photographed the cash to text Randy: "I have the cash, where do you want me to leave it?" Hours later, all of it was gone.

Tim's pocket contents on a granite counter: stacks of Canadian hundred-dollar bills, twenties and fives, a bundle of cards in an elastic band (blurred), a yellow keychain with keys, and an Alberta Open Farm Days flyer
🔍 EVIDENCE: Canadian bills ($100s, $20s, $5s) · thick stack with elastic band · ID bundled in the elastic · yellow keychain · Alberta Open Farm Days flyer. Everything here (minus the keys and phone) is now somewhere on the trail. ID & cards blurred — that part's Tim's problem, not yours. The cash is the readable part, and the cash is what ye keep.

The Legend of Tim's Lost ID

Except this time it's not a legend. It actually happened. Classic Tim.

Gather 'round, ye barnacle-brained beach bums. Tim set out on a regular day of rounds — him, Ian, Casey, and Bob the entrepreneur, four souls in a side-by-side, touring every property on the Seba Beach spread. Coffee at the school. Randy's freshly opened beach. Then the back trails — two, three kilometres of twisting, bouncing, tree-dodging glory that ye're technically not supposed to take a side-by-side through. (He did anyway. For Bob.)

In his pocket: his ID wrapped in an elastic band, about $5,000 in cash for Randy's crew, and two diamond rings in a teeny baggie. They rode along past the log cabin, down the secret road, out to the cliff edge at the Vista Lounge — where Tim stood eighty feet down a narrow path, gesturing at the lake like a man who owns a view — through the deep sand of the brand-new pavilion beach, past the museum, and back to the school.

He reached for his pocket. Gone. All of it. He backtracked every stop and found nothing but tire tracks and regret.

So here's the deal he's making with the whole of Alberta: find it, keep the cash and the rings. He'd just like his ID back — drop it at SebaHub, 162 Second Avenue, no questions asked. And if it doesn't turn up quickly? The pot may climb to $10,000.

🧭 Open the Full Route — Map, Photos & Clues

The Territory

The lay of the land: the four home-base properties, the village landmarks, and where to park. The stop-by-stop trail map lives on the Route page.

🏴‍☠️ SebaHub (the old school) 🏕️ SebaStays 💍 Village Vows 🚐 Kokanee Springs RV 🅿️ Parking 🪧 Around town

🅿️ Park only in designated areas: the SebaHub school lot and the Kokanee Springs lot (by the RV Pub & Grill at the main entrance). And no — the ID bundle is not pinned on this map. That'd be a short hunt.

The Home-Base Properties

Four real neighbours on the Seba Beach shoreline — the folks behind the hunt. Get to know 'em while ye search.

The Pirate's Code (The Rules)

There be real money in real woods, so there be real rules. Break 'em and ye be disqualified — and worse, ye be rude.

⏰
Hunt hours: 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM, daily. Be off the properties by 8. There be campers sleepin' out here — no 2 a.m. prowlin' about with headlamps, ye night owls. After-dark hunting = disqualified (and walkin' the plank).
🌲

No cutting down trees

The forest stays standin'. Ye cannot chainsaw yer way to riches. The ID bundle fell — it is not inside a tree.

🔥

No fires

Not one. No burnin' the brush to "smoke it out." We will find you, and so will the fire marshal.

⛳

No digging up the driving range

It fell out of a pocket, ye keeners — nothing is buried. Leave the shovels and the range alone.

🚁

No trucks, excavators, or helicopters

Aye, someone asked. This is a hunt, not a demolition derby. Use yer eyes, yer boots, and yer wits.

🅿️

Park in designated areas

Stick to the marked lots. Respect the neighbours, the fences, the guests, and the folks who live here.

🤝

Leave it better than ye found it

Pack out yer trash, bring a friend, and share the fun. That's the pirate code. Arrr.

How to Play

No treasure-huntin' license required. The hunt is live right now.

Start with the interview — Tim's answers contain the clues. Then study the route: 61 GPS-tagged photos across 12 waypoints.

Pick Yer Zones

The hot zones: Randy's beach (last confirmed sighting), the back trails, the cliff edge, and the deep-sand pavilion beach. Prioritize like a pro.

3

Come Search

Roll out to Seba Beach, park in a designated lot, and hunt 9 AM–8 PM daily. Bring a friend — two sets of eyes beat one.

Found It?

Keep the cash. Keep the rings. Call or text Tim or Casey (numbers below) and return the ID at SebaHub — 162 Second Ave. Become a Seba Beach legend.

☑️ Ye Olde Hunter's Checklist

  • Read the interview (the clues are in there, matey)
  • Studied the 12-waypoint route and the hot zones
  • Brought a friend — two sets of eyes are better than one
  • Looked for a wee elastic-band bundle and a teeny baggie — not a fat wallet
  • Kept an eye out for golf balls (festival tickets, arrr!)

🧭 First Mate's Corner: bring the wee ones, mind yer step by the water and the cliff edge, pack sunscreen and bug spray, and leave every spot nicer than ye found it. Arrr-esponsible pirates only.

📞 Found Something?

Tim's number is his personal cell — please treat it with the respect ye'd want for yer own. Found the ID, the cash, the rings, or even a golf ball? Reach out. We're happy to hear from ye.

👤 Tim 780-909-6544 Call, text, or email anytime
👤 Casey [email protected] Email anytime

🏠 ID drop-off: SebaHub — 162 Second Avenue, Seba Beach, Alberta. No questions asked. Or mail it in. Tim just wants his identity back, sort of thing.

🎸🌲

Bonus quest: golf balls & "In the Woods"

While ye're out there searching for Tim's ID, keep yer eyes peeled for golf balls hidden across the properties. Find one and ye win trips and tickets to the "In the Woods" Music Festival at Seba Beach. The hunt has layers — come out and see what ye find.

This Is Just Year One

The first-ever Seba Beach Treasure Hunt. If it lands, we do it again — bigger every year.

Year 1 · 2026

Prove it

One lost ID bundle. Five grand. Two diamond rings. A whole village on the map. This first year is about showin' the province that a little Alberta lake town can throw the best treasure hunt around.

Year 2

Grow the pot

More sponsors, more spots, a fatter prize — and maybe a neighbouring town or two across Parkland County joinin' the fun.

Year 3 & beyond

The Alberta circuit

A hunt that hops town to town across Central Alberta, with CFCW callin' the play-by-play. (This year Tim lost his ID bundle and two rings — next year, who knows what the man'll misplace.)

💛 At the bottom of it all, this be real money for a real person who could use a win. Every dollar out there is a dollar of hope for whoever finds it.
