I believe the answer is:

treasure chest

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'valuable hidden store' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'trustees reach out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'trustees'+'reach'='trusteesreach'
'trusteesreach' with letters rearranged gives 'TREASURE-CHEST'.

'finding' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for treasure chest that I've seen before include "Box holding items of great value" , "source of wealth" , "Repository of wealth" , "Pirate cargo" , "Hoard of valuables" .)
