Salt Lake County Search and Rescue
A 49-year-old man suffered a foot injury while searching for a $10,000 treasure that required him to be rescued over the weekend, authorities said.
Crews were dispatched to Ferguson Canyon near Cottonwood Heights shortly before 7 p.m. Saturday. Salt Lake County Search and Rescue officials said the man was hiking with three members of his family, searching for the treasure when a large rock fell on his foot near the canyon overlook and made it impossible for him to walk back down on his own.

Two dozen search and rescue workers were dispatched, and crews helped get the man down the canyon and back to the parking lot by midnight, the agency said. But it wasn't the last they heard about the treasure, which was placed in an undisclosed location along the Wasatch Mountains between Ogden and Santaquin earlier this month.
