Utahns out looking for $20,000 prize discover a different form of treasure, sparking reunion with those who buried time capsule 30+ years ago
DAVIS COUNTY, Utah — A pair of treasure hunters, who were looking for Utah’s big cash prize of $20,000 tucked away in the mountains, stumbled across something that ended up being priceless to those who buried it 36 years ago.
Richard and his brother-in-law Troy Thompson were looking for the coveted treasure when they noticed an area with rocks near a tree that seemed odd to them. Thompson found the time capsule, a black pipe with caps on each end, hidden under the rocks.“When we opened it up at the car, it felt like just a scene out of the movies,” said Thompson."We just opened a bottle of treasure, only it happened to be not only cash, but a treasure full of memories.
Members of Boy Scout Troop 6210 from West Valley City buried the time capsule in 1986 and went back a few times to add items until 1994.
