You can play Treasure Hunt with any villager on your island that you're good friends with.
Sometimes they will have a thought bubble on their head. Talk to them, and they will ask you to play Treasure Hunt with them. You can choose if you want to participate or not, but this comes very rarely, so why not play?

The given time for this playthrough was 6 minutes.
The villager will hide the buried treasure somewhere in the island. Run around your island to look for the buried treasure within the given time. It will look like a buried item similar to buried fossils.
The timer stops once you dig up the item.
The game is not over yet! Once you get the treasure, the timer stops. You cannot open or drop the item, so return it to the villager.
They will open up the treasure for you and you will receive it as a prize!
Once the game starts, you cannot stop the timer. Even when pressing the Home Button to go to the Home Screen, the time will still run.
When you start the day, you should make it a habit to dig up the 4 fossils beneath the ground each day. That day, when someone asks you to play Treasure Hunt, you will immediately know if a buried item is the treasure!
If you have access to the upper levels (cliffs), like with a Ladder or incline, make sure you check the cliffs as well.
No one's inviting me to play this anymore. I've only had it once or twice during the first few weeks of my play

I found and dug up treasure after the timer ran out, now I can’t give it away. It says “What was this again” in my inventory, and only option is to “Drop it”.
