Nevada Day Treasure Hunt: Clue 3

Good morning hunters! I've got to tell you, yesterday I thought I had it all figured out and drove up to the spot I thought the medallion would be, only to meet two grumpy mine-tour owners who HATE games and puzzles. Needless to say, I had been wrong about the spot. But I will continue seeking, as should you!

Enough rambling, here is your third clue.

The first clue is as follows:

Enjoy the constant magic
When you turn it in
Of a squared 5 square
And where you have been

The second clue:

As it is more respectable
The 87 introduction
Would have pleased Franklin
As Nevada’s first induction

And now, the third clue:

Maintaining distance
They continue collaborating
These four should be the
Ones you find fascinating

***

Clues will be given daily, Tuesday through Saturday, so keep your eyes peeled, and happy hunting! See the Nevada Day Treasure Hunt web page here.
