Nevada Day Treasure Hunt Medallion has been found by Carson City family – Carson Now
After 15 clues and weeks of searching, Greg Saunders of Carson City, along with his wife, 1 year old daughter, and faithful dog, have found the 2025 Nevada Day Treasure Hunt Medallion, ending this year’s hunt with an exciting discovery.
The Nevada Day Treasure Hunt Committee met with the family on Sunday, October 26, at Rancho San Rafael Regional Park in Reno to present them with the official medallion and a $1,000 prize.
Now in its 24th year, the Nevada Day Treasure Hunt has become a cherished tradition for families across the state. Each fall, participants decipher daily clues that draw on Nevada’s rich history, culture, and geography to locate a hidden medallion placed somewhere on public land.
“This event really brings people together,” said Michele Montoya of the Nevada Day Treasure Hunt Committee. “It’s about learning Nevada’s history, exploring new places, and enjoying the thrill of the hunt.”
This year’s clues guided hunters across central Nevada, referencing landmarks tied to the Pony Express, the Overland Telegraph, and early settlers. The final clue revealed the treasure’s resting place near the Edwards Creek Valley Historical Marker in Churchill County.
Next year will mark the 25th anniversary of the Nevada Day Treasure Hunt, and organizers are already planning a larger celebration for the milestone event.
