TREASURE FOUND: Married couple finds $25,000 treasure at Temple Quarry Trail in Sandy
The winners are a married couple out of American Fork named Hunter and Corinne. While the decoding to find this treasure was elaborate, Hunter, who was the primary treasure seeker, said he was able to use the tie music references in the first hint to The Beatles, whose original name was 'The Quarrymen.'
This led him and his wife to Temple Quarry Trail in Sandy, where they found the treasure chest. See the full breakdown of how they found the treasure here.
Read the original hint below:
Begin your search where fabled words resound
Before the standing stairs and kings were crowned
Trace the steps of the lionhearted teams
Only outshone by a jewels unyielding gleam
If you get lost just follow the arrow
As you play peek-a-boo with the pharaoh
Store all these new memories inside the bank
But stay far from the edge when you walk the plank
Whistle with Pricess Peach this simple tune
While you listen to dark of the moon
The treasure is near now check if you're alone
And discover the chest between two stones
The Utah Treasure Hunt has become an annual summer tradition in the Beehive State. In 2024, the $25,000 prize was found by , who cracked the riddle to find the chest full of cash along Grove Creek Trail in Pleasant Grove.
The treasure hunting tradition started in the summer of 2020 with a modest prize of $5,000, and it has since grown every year with more money 'buried' in Utah's wilderness and even more hunters getting outside to track it down.
'When we started, it was just a fun, awesome thing to do during COVID to get people out. But then, as we've done it, it's created a pretty unique community of treasure hunters, and it has a really positive impact on people,' Maxim previously told ABC4.com.
The treasure hunt is free and open to everyone of all ages. The only rules implemented by the event organizers are to be safe, have fun, and don't trespass onto private property in search of the treasure.
Cline and Maxim said they picked this year's location with safety in mind, meaning treasure hunters weren't expected to rock climb, do any 'mountain goating,' bushwacking, or digging. The two asked that treasure hunters treat Utah's mountains and trails with the utmost respect, be aware of wildlife, and pack plenty of water and sunscreen.

Jeff Buckley died young but is immortalized in a new documentary
Jeff Buckley captivated an audience of generations with his transcendent voice and soaring guitar. After his untimely passing in 1997 at age 30, he gained posthumous, cult-like status. Never one for the charts, his album Grace has stood the test of time and is listed on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. His live performances were famous for transforming any space, regardless of size, into an intimate listening experience. And his unfinished demos are something fans have collected and traded in forums, treasured like gold. It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley, a new documentary from director Amy Berg, is a heartfelt tribute to an artist adored by fans who ache for more. At the top of the trailer, Buckley tells a reporter that he wants his music to be remembered, because that's the only thing that will be around after he's dead. But that's not how memory works, and the documentary ensures there is space created to grieve the entirety of his loss. I sat down with Berg in Utah at the Sundance Film Festival, where the documentary debuted. We talked about her love of Buckley's music and the passionate voicemails he left for his mother that Berg found on the thumb drive with his archives. The Verge: Can you tell me about the first time you heard Jeff Buckley's music? Amy Berg: I was a teenager working at SST Records. And from being in the industry, I heard a copy of Grace. It just kind of cut me open. It got me right in the heart, and I fell in love with Jeff Buckley. I fell in love with 'Lover, You Should've Come Over.' That was my song. And just anytime I had kind of a breakup or some hard time, that was my go-to. It was like he could feel my pain. He massaged my pain. So anyway, when he passed away, it destroyed me. Sitting in the audience at Sundance, it felt like an ending for some folks — Mary, his mother, and bandmates — but for others in the crowd, it felt like a beginning. They were learning about Jeff's music. How did you go about striking that balance? Because of what I was attracted to in the material, I decided to end with his death. There's a world where it could have started with his death. I mean, there's a really interesting story post-Jeff's passing. But I think that what I wanted was for people to get immersed and enveloped in his world through watching the film and then find their own journey to his music and whatever spoke to them. Because it's such a personal experience. Listening to his music is such a personal experience. So I just kind of want to encourage, especially people who have never heard his music before, to go down that rabbit hole because it's fun. It's really incredible. Biopics are having a moment of sorts — why'd Jeff's story need to be a documentary? I was asked to do the biopic at one point, and they gave me this thumb drive with all the archives, and those voicemail messages just cut my heart out. I thought it was a documentary. Sometimes, as a documentarian, I kind of think about fictionalizing real people, and he just seems like a tough one to fictionalize. But then look at Timothée Chalamet and A Complete Unknown. That was one of the most incredible experiences of the year cinematically. So who knows? Maybe. There's still time. There's still a movie to be made. Right. Mary had to trust me, and it took her a long time because I wanted final cut. And that's like, I am not going to do a puff piece or anything, and I'm not going to be told what to say and not say. So it was important to me that she trusts me. And that took a while. It took at least 10 years. I imagine balancing the romance of Jeff's music and building a narrative wasn't easy. It was a really hard edit, and balance is important. I mean, it was difficult because so many people look at Jeff like he walks on water. And so, there were multiple interviews with certain subjects because I wanted to get to the grit of it, too, and provide a glimpse of a real person who struggled. And I think that he was young. He was very vulnerable, raw, artistic, creative, and held his art to a very high standard. But he was also trying to sort stuff out, and that's not always beautiful. The voicemails Jeff left his mother feel particularly startling. 'Your big, sexy son.' Did you ever hesitate to include those conversations? No. Because it felt like the real Jeff. There were lots of different versions of Jeff, and I feel like the different voicemails, they illustrate that very well. And they were always part of what I wanted to use in the film. What were your conversations with Mary like about including them? She just said, 'Here's the archive. Do what you want with it. Tell the story however you want to tell it.' I've seen some of the journalists saying that there are so many limitations because of Mary, but she didn't limit me. I wanted to tell a love story about Jeff and the women in his life, and that's the story I told. It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley is in select theaters August 8, 2025.

Why 'Modern Family' star Ty Burrell left Hollywood for Utah: 'No regrets'
After the sitcom ended, the actor and his wife decided to raise their daughters outside of Los Angeles. Ty Burrell is enjoying his post-Dunphy life, far away from the glitz and glamor of Hollywood. The Modern Family star, who spent 11 seasons as lovable man-child Phil Dunphy, has revealed that when the long-running ABC sitcom wrapped in 2020, he moved his family from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City. "It's just been spectacular," the actor, 57, told PEOPLE of his big move. "We moved here right after [Modern Family] ended, and I don't have any regrets. It's been lovely and a great place to raise the kids." That said, the Muppets Most Wanted actor admitted that Salt Lake City was an adjustment for him, wife Holly, and their daughters, Frances, 15 and Greta, 13. Burrell said he wasn't a lover of the outdoors when they chose the mountainous region. "My parents weren't really those kinds of people," he explained. "So at first, when we moved here, it almost felt like cosplay, like we were pretending to be people who were outdoorsy." He added, "And now we really truly love it." Though it wasn't until after Modern Family concluded that Burrell set down roots in Salt Lake City, he previously voiced affection for the Utah capital in a 2014 HuffPost essay, in which he recounted falling for the city while doing a play there in 1999. It also played a major role in his love life, as he took the job to be closer to his then-girlfriend whom he would later marry. "Over the next 10 years my wife and I travelled back and forth to spend time with family and began to fall deeper in love with your incredibly affordable lifestyle and immediate access to the outdoors," he wrote. "We fell so deeply that we didn't feel like we could be apart anymore and we moved from New York in 2008." While Burrell's connection to SLC is his own, the two-time Emmy winner is certainly not the only Modern Family alum who stepped away from Hollywood after a long tenure on the beloved family sitcom. His onscreen daughter, Ariel Winter, also departed Los Angeles for a quieter life. The L.A.-born actress, who began her career at 4 and landed a role on the comedy at 11, recently opened up about her choice to depart the city where she endured severe emotional trauma. "The experiences I had in person and online as a child have affected me so deeply that I've had to go to therapy for it," she told PEOPLE in May. "The movie and TV industry is a dark place."Winter, who now lives in Nashville with her boyfriend and fellow actor Luke Benward, continued, "I didn't leave the industry, I just left the city of L.A. It holds some not-great memories for me, and I'm young and never lived anywhere else, and thought, 'Why not?' If you're no longer on a network show that shoots there, you don't really have to be there, and if I get a network show, I can easily go back."
