A treasure hunter in San Francisco unearthed a chest containing $10,000 worth of valuables, including cash, precious metal ingots, and rare baseball cards. The hunt began when an anonymous group released a pirate-style map, complete with cryptic clues connected to the city. The finder, identified as @wivincent, solved the clues leading to Mount Sutro Open Space Preserve. The treasure map hinted at the thrill of treasure hunting, suggesting a playful nod to adventurous childhood fantasies, even commenting on modern rope bridge safety compared to their fictional counterparts.
The modern-day pirates later confirmed their prize had been discovered in Mount Sutro Open Space Preserve southwest of downtown San Francisco.
As for why they hid the chest in the first place: 'We always figured treasure hunting would feature more heavily in life. Right alongside quicksand and tattered rope bridges,' the group wrote.
