Prove that the treasure story made a strong impression on the people of St. Petersburg. Do people look for hidden treasure now? Are they lucky to find anything?

The treasure story made a strong impression on the people of St. Petersburg because many people believed that hidden treasure really existed. After hearing about the boys’ discovery, treasure hunters began digging in places where they thought money might have been buried. This shows that the story awakened their imagination and greed.

People still look for hidden treasure today, especially with metal detectors and other technology. However, they are rarely lucky enough to find anything valuable because most supposed treasures are legends, have already been discovered, or are hidden too deeply.
