I think it's time for a different hobby!

A Virginia couple hunting for a lost treasure mine required a backcountry rescue Sunday, their second in two years in the same area west of Cody, Wyo.

At about 11:20 a.m. Frank Eugene Rose Jr., 40, of Lynchburg, Va., reported his girlfriend, Madilina L. Taylor, 41, also of Lynchburg, broke her ankle while they were on a treasure hunt in the backcountry of the North Fork area, according to a press release from the Park County Sheriff’s Office.

Park County Search and Rescue responded to the incident. They previously rescued the pair in the summer of 2013 when they became disoriented and wandered for four days in the same area, the release said.

On Sunday, Rose had to leave Taylor so he could get help and hiked about 2 miles before he saw residents of the Grizzly Ranch across Big Creek. He had lost his wallet and cellphone trying to cross the high water earlier and had to yell across to get their attention.

When search and rescue crews arrived, they helped the man across the creek. Rose told rescuers he had instructed Taylor to stay where she was while he went for help and described landmarks around her location.

According to the release, rescuers found Taylor wrapped in a silver reflective safety blanket lying in an open meadow next to a lone tree. She was airlifted to St. Vincent Healthcare, where she was treated for a fractured ankle.

Deputies strongly recommended Rose and Taylor not return to this area without proper wilderness survival training, and Rose was warned they would be arrested if found on private property in the future. Rose said he and Taylor would not return.
