How are there two 8/9/21?
Because dates are hard 
That second one should be 8/10

I have no idea how to even approach 8/10, other than knowing the one column is all zeroes
I started by coloring out cells that could not have the treasure. There’s the column with 0’s. There’s a row with a “1” near the middle that has an arrow pointing to the right. So you know the cells to the left can’t have a treasure. If you do that enough, then you’ll start to find squares that have to have a treasure.
Oh yeah that makes sense. Duh. Too early when I attempted it I think.
It took me a minute to get going on this one because I had to re-remember from last time that cells with an arrow can’t have a treasure, too.

8/11/2021 - TWO FIVES FOR A TEN
Starting on a consonant, spell out a ten-letter word going from letter to adjacent letter - horizontally, vertically, or diagonally - as you use every letter in the grid once. Then rearrange that ten-letter word into two 5-letter words that begin and end with the letters shown in rows at the bottom. What are the words?

8/11 thoughts
I found track first, then followed it to make sound. But then I was like “Track Sound” doesn’t make sense. Took a second for it to click 
Then I had to write down the 6 letters not used already for the 2 5-letter words. I found “Drunk” first, but then the remaining letters didn’t make sense. Then I saw that I almost had “Scout” if I just switched out the u for the a.
Summary
Yeah, “track” almost immediately stood out to me and I figured it must be part of the word. the “sound” took a little longer.
I gave up on d__k once I saw multiple possibilities (drank/drunk) and focused on s___t. Scout was the first word I found, then the other was easy with the remaining letters.
