[Stories involving treasure hunting] Why would the original treasure holders leave out clues/trivia scattered when their main goal is to keep the treasure hidden from everyone else?

It's to remind themselves exactly where they left it.  In a pre-GPS world without man-made landmarks you had to get creative.

But they don't want to just write it down so anyone can read it.  They scatter the clues so that only they know how to track them all down or they can direct their confederates how to find them.
