Clue #1
Published on Friday, March 4, 2016
Gold awaits for the one who finds
A gilded pick in a placid blind
A miracle is possible if you strive
Look to 5 and you'll stay alive.

Clues can be found here.
Explanation:
"Placid" refers to Lake Placid, home of the "Miracle on Ice" when the U.S. Men’s Olympic Hockey team won gold at the 1980 Olympic Winter Games. The player on the roster who wore number 5 was Mike Ramsey. Ramsey is the county in which the puck is hidden.

Don your boots and walking gear
Your lode of ore is ever near
Look for an arrow that points the way
Toward your golden pay day

Gold waits to provide a thrill
To one who prospects nigh a rill
Take the path toward a higher lane
Extract the ore to make your claim
