Expert Treasure Hunter duty in Disney Dreamlight Valley

To complete the Expert Treasure Hunter duty, you need to dig up and open two special event Memory Shards during the Treasure Hunt event. This event was added with the Mysteries of Skull Rock update, but didn't actually start until July 30.
This is the only duty featured in the event, so it may take you a bit to get it done. To fully finish the entire event, you need to dig up more than just two memories, but for the purposes of this task, only two are required. The Expert Treasure Hunter duty acts as your first major event goal, as you can complete it, then keep hunting for memories to gain an additional reward.
The special event Memory Shards are obtained by digging up gold treasure cracks. Only one golden treasure crack appears each day, and the exact location varies for everyone. To find it, you need to check all the biomes around the valley. Once you locate it, equip your Royal Shovel, dig it up, read the clue, and find the right spot mentioned in it.
You'll get a special golden chest from breaking the obstacle at the right location, which then grants you a golden Memory Shard. Complete this task twice to finish the Expert Treasure Hunter duty.

What is the Treasure Hunt event in Disney Dreamlight Valley?
The Treasure Hunt event is a new, treasure-hunting-focused event in DDV. To complete it, we need to use our Royal Shovels to find where the X marks the spot around the valley, which includes all gold treasure cracks. The rewards featured in this event include a Motif and a furniture item.
This event is fairly similar to Cheshire Chaos, especially the part of the event that revolved around hunting down Cheshire Cracks. Luckily, the treasure cracks are a lot easier to find in this one.
When is the Treasure Hunt event in Disney Dreamlight Valley?

The Treasure Hunt event began on July 30 and will run until Aug. 12. It will come to an end right before the next big update arrives. A new update themed around Inside Out is scheduled for sometime in August, so the event is a way to fill in the downtime before new content arrives. If you miss out on finishing this event, it may come back annually as most other events do, but it hasn't been confirmed to return yet, so it's best to fully tackle it while you can.
When you're done working on this task, there's plenty to get done around the valley. Completing the Adventures in Neverland Star Path is the highest priority since it will soon be over. Some other tasks to tackle are completing the Collateral Damage quest, finding all Pillars, solving all Jade Skull riddles, and unlocking Maleficent.
