No

Are you in the (end) credits?

[notbobsmith]

Are you in the (end) credits?

No

[Tawmis]

So you're not before the gold mine and not in the end credits?
I am so confused.

[Tawmis]

Wait. Are you doing what I did?

Are you in the noose scene?

[notbobsmith]

Are you in the noose scene?

No

So you're not before the gold mine and not in the end credits?
I am so confused.

So if not before the gold mine and not in the end credits, then I can be obtained...

This one may be a bit too tricky. As a hint, I am being very deliberate with my choice of words. "Obtained"

Reminder of previous clues:

I am hard to get
And impossible to find
Can't even be seen

Again, being very deliberate with my choice of words. And these lines can be taken literally.

You are definitely an expert if you manage to get me.

[Tawmis]

I am hard to get
And impossible to find
Can't even be seen
You are definitely an expert if you manage to get me.

I mean, I'd say PERFECT SCORE, but you can see the Score at the top.

Because that's hard to get, it can be impossible to find, and would meet the expert bit.

Are you the gold mine?

(If you're not before it - you can be the gold mine itself... now that I think about it...)

Hard to get (damn iron needed for the key)...
Impossible to find... need the lantern...
Can't even be seen... it's pitch black if you don't have the lantern or if the lantern runs out of oil...
Expert... because you were able to do the impossible? And beat this insane game?

[notbobsmith]

Are you the gold mine?

No

New hint:
I can only be obtained after doing something very specific.

[Tawmis]

Are you the gold mine?

No

New hint:
I can only be obtained after doing something very specific.

Isn't that pretty much EVERY thing?

Can only obtain the gold mine by using the oil in the lantern, for example.

Crikey.

I will need to think on this more.

[Tawmis]

All right. Clearly need to narrow it down more for myself.

All clues so far -
I am hard to get
And impossible to find
Can't even be seen
You are definitely an expert if you manage to get me.
While can't be seen in California, I can be obtained there.
You won't get any points for getting me, but I am a reward.
I can only be obtained after doing something very specific.

Not in Brooklyn
Not during Wagon Route
Not seen in Cape Horn
Gold?

Will come back to this - or if this has anyone else who wants to make guesses too?

[Tawmis]

So - go back to general questions to help...
