Verses Hunt Solution

The first step in this hunt is to identify the 6 keywords that act as a "gatekeeper" of sorts. Each keyword is represent on the lyrics page by the yellow coloring (which matches the background color of the input boxes). The common theme of all of the songs is that they contain the word "silver".

I figured it would still be too hard, so I added some other clues like the red ink which represented the word "ring" (this was learned by hovering over the word... if you like it then you better put a ring on it) and the blue "six".

I think a lot of people really enjoyed this step. I think it was just the right amount of difficult, plus it could be done from a phone a little more easily than many of the other "from home" clues.

The next step was to decipher the following poem:

If you are inclined to wind up with this clandestine treasure of mine,
start where you might find a tine with a shine.

=Silver Fork

Then grind all the way up the incline,
and keep to this side of the Cottonwood spine.

In other words, don't go all the way over the ridge into into Little Cottonwood canyon.

Then mind where you find each of these near a mine.

See the map below for the locations of the signs (in red).

Then rewind, go home, take some time, and recline.
Get online, align the signs to define a line.

Just the line on the map that connects the signs.

Do some maths to find distance (oh don't whine: you'll be fine).

This was the part that most people got stuck on. The solution is to define the distance using the Silver Ratio (more info below). Notice the strange use of a colon in this line of the poem; it was meant as a subtle clue because the colon is used in maths to indicate a ratio.

If you follow this rhyme the way it's designed,
you will find the treasure confined behind a supine pine.
...And it will be thine.
(And I'll kindly remind you that there's no need to climb or commit crimes.)

In addition to the colon in the maths line, I also gave a clue in the pictures of the signs.

Even without these hints to make you think of "ratios", I thought it was conceivable that someone would figure out that "silver" was the core of this hunt and come by the Silver Ratio that way (one of my first hints helped make this connection).
I know a few searchers were thinking in numbers and units, either 6 (because that is central to the overall theme) or 9 (because that would rhyme with the poem). But using these absolute numbers didn't appeal to me very much, because then I would have to assign some sort of unit to it, like feet, miles, kilometers, etc. Not only were these distances problematic, they also just seemed inelegant. So in addition to keeping a tight theme, the Silver Ratio also allowed me to buck the assumption of using human-contrived units (especially the old-and-busted imperial system) and let the hunt define its own distance.

The songs (one kind of 'verse') had "silver" in common, the poem (another kind of 'verse') leads to Silver Fork, and then the distance is defined by the Silver Ratio (which you might know if you were well-'versed' in such matters).
So "silver" is at the core of each step and it is the specific theme of this hunt (with less emphasis on "six" or "saturn").

Once you know that you need to use the Silver Ratio, there are really 4 potential spots you could end up with. You could go in either direction along the line, and you could measure the ratio distance including the distance between the signs, or measure it beyond the distance between the signs.
I personally think that it is a slightly more elegant solution to measure the Silver Ratio distance beyond the original unit length, so that's what I tried to make work (and successfully did).

Congratulations to Jeremy for finding this Saturn.
On Thursday the 22nd, Jeremy emailed me to tell me where he had been searching and reported that he didn't find it. I saw on the map where he had been searching and I got nervous that maybe the Saturn had been taken and not reported. So I hiked up there that night to check on it and discovered that it was still there. There was at least one other party VERY close that same evening.
I emailed both of those searchers to tell them that the Saturn was still there and Jeremy ended up driving down from Brigham City early on a Friday before work to try one more time and this time he found it.

Jeremy adds:

"I had two unsuccessful trips before finding it on my third.
It was my first time in that area
I spent 22 hours treasure hunting (including travel and hiking time) in the three days before I found it
Before finding the treasure, I found: a GoPro battery, ski goggles, a wallet that a guy lost in 2010 while skiing (I've contacted him and am shipping it back to him), an unopened chocolate milk that expired in March 2021, the ear of a deer, and a glass vase.
I did all of the clues alone other than 2 of the verses, although I did consult my ideas with a treasure hunting coworker."
