7-Year-Old Who Spots A Shiny Treasure At The Bottom Of A Pool Uncovers Its History
In 2020, a 7-year-old boy named Theo made the find of the decade at an Idaho hot spring resort, living out every treasure hunter's dream. The precious item he spotted was thought to have been lost forever, though something about its curious appearance made the resort owners try a different tactic to trace back its history.
A Normal Vacation
Young Theo was on vacation with his mom over at Trinity Hot Springs in Featherville, Idaho. The boy was very adventurous and was excited to explore the waters. Since he was very small, he was a pro at finding hidden treasures.
History of Treasure
In Pre-K, his teachers would bury little treasures in the playground's sandbox for the children to find. Theo would find most, if not all of them, so to ensure there'd be enough for the other kids, he was not allowed in the sandbox. But at the Featherville resort, he would have no limitations whatsoever.
Among the Rocks
Flash-forward to Theo at the hot springs. As he swam and explored, he noticed something shiny among the rocks of the pool's floor. He reached down and fished it out of the waters, recognizing what it was right away.
Find of the Decade
The treasure was a wedding ring, and a very beautiful one at that. Although Theo took great pride in his treasure hunting skills, he knew what the right thing to do was. With his mom proudly supporting him, Theo gave the ring to the resort staff, who had a lead on who the owner was.
