I have the Gold Medallion, so it's get-able. Unfortunately I don't remember where I found it. You are probably looking in the wrong place though. There are definitely places that look almost exactly alike (tree's, curve of the shore).
I've got most of the items (like 37 or 38), but I didn't think to keep a map of where I found them.
Has anyone else had the problem of time never moving forward? I have played on another game site finding 29 items, yet the only time the date advanced is when I repaired my ship. I tried to play on Armor Games and I am still having the same problem. I never lose food because my sailors never need to eat... wtf?
There is a treasure glitch. You can sell treasure items more than once. Talk to people in the taverns and if you have what they have been searching for, they will buy it and you may find someone else in another port that wants it as well....helped me to get a better ship.
