    This guy was rich before he hid the treasure… he couldn’t have done this for pure entertainment. no no he’s clever. People say it’s under water?would he really place a 16th century bronze chest full of gold and diamonds under water? well maybe. the chest, nor what’s in the chest can NOT rust, making it relatively safe. Forrest Fenn is a fisherman, which could have somthing to do with this theory. But underwater.. what water is it under… presumably a larger body of water.. or narrow and long…. would he make it too obvious? if so.. the answer is the red river. Maybe around the river. but again… too obvious. Right now I’m in the process of decoding Fenns poem. he said there are nine clues… I think there’s more.

    The treasure has been found! 10 years! the person who found it has asked to stay anonymous but proved the find by emailing Mr fenn a photo of his find.

    Conman Fenn is looking for a safe passage out of his hoax. He knows that lawsuits loom over his con and he is groping around for a way out.

  18. José luis Dos santos on June 2, 2023 at 9:12 am

    Think of it this way start by contacting your lawyer and ask where could he have put it legally , then start the hunt in the remaining area with the clues you know ….

  19. Maryann Beahn on June 2, 2023 at 9:14 am

    I used to work in yellow Stone national Park. One of my favorite things to do was to tell kids about this hidden treasure. I would give them a copy of his poem if they promised me that if they found it to give me $100. Love the joy of a good mystery.

  29. Arizona_Lilly on June 2, 2023 at 9:28 am

    he just save it’s not in cave or tunnel . she went there

  30. In My Opinion on June 2, 2023 at 9:29 am

    Trout is in cold water so warm water all over the Rockies and cold water starts and trout streams in to many places. I dont thing WWWH is actually the first clue. He was a pro guide at 14 and went alone in there and so no way he would get on the water in a boat alone..thats a no no.

  31. Theron Mandeville on June 2, 2023 at 9:30 am

    They found it

    Forrest Fenn’s treasure has been found recently unfortunately… "Home of Brown" is in Chalk Creek Canyon… He was the head Superintendent of the MARY MURPHY Mine in St Elmo. Remember Mary M headstone in the Book? Here is a video breaking it down all the clues to the poem and showing the 10x10x5 hole beside the tree with the "Blaze" in it.

    That guys an ass hole

  36. CAPTAINSSBN on June 2, 2023 at 9:36 am

    My findings from my treasure hunt Colorado trip based on the following clues: From Fenns book 1. Biggest fishing hole ever(actually was a fish hatchery Pond),  2. middle child of three Skippy, Forest, and June.  3. Chalk the memories once again CHALK :  now from the poem most important of the 9 are 1. Begin where warm waters halt(Hot Springs into a creek), 2. too far to walk(3miles), 3. below home of brown( below fish hatchery).   OK now find a creek with hatchery and hot springs close together say 3miles apart between MT and SantaFe.  there are two.  best choice for me was CHALK Creek Nathrop CO it has Princeton Hot Springs and 3 miles from it there is a Fish Hatchery.  Draw a horizontal line just below the Hatchery and you’ll see between it and the Hot Springs 3 pieces of water Chalk Creek(Skippy) middle irrigation canal(Forest) and third is another irrigation canal (June).  The middle irrigation canal per 2010 TOPO map shows it had water presently it is dry. WHY IS IT DRY?  well I went to the hatchery and walked up the dry canal and found that a HUGE tree had been fallen over the maintenance path and dry canal bed.  that really seemed odd to me.  I climbed over the tree and continued up the maintenance pathway and WALLA the entire side hill had been either by nature or dynamite been swept down to Chalk Creek.  My guess is that the water rights people found the treasure chest in their water canal that feeds the entire valley.  They were probably pretty pissed off that some idiot would place a foreign dirty object in the water supply to the entire valley below.  I’ll bet they took the chest sealed off the canal at the Y from the June canal and blew up the bank and dropped the tree to cover their ass.  What’s pretty sad is that they haven’t said a word to anybody and some people have died trying to find the chest.   It all fits too perfect.  So Good luck check out the Chalk Creek the chest could be in the slide rubble.  My foot print is in that loose sand and when you look up toward the June canal you’ll some serious very loose boulders. With that I got the hell out of there because these people seemed pretty upset to say the least.

I wish i were more into it but im more of a tech person myself… send me to mars eff your gold tbh.
