$10,000 SF treasure comes to end after 3 weeks of searching: Here's where it was

A $10,000 prize was found after nearly three weeks of searching in the San Francisco treasure hunt. Organizers reported that the winning person located the treasure on Tuesday. The prize was inside a 150-pound chest that had been buried in a cave near Battery Wagner in the Marin Headlands. The treasure was not actually buried within San Francisco city limits, even though the original rules stated it was within seven miles of City Hall. The hunt drew nationwide attention and included public complaints about digging during the search.
