The hunt for Forrest Fenn's $2 million hidden treasure

The hunt for Forrest Fenn's $2 million hidden treasure

The secret is hidden in a poem that starts like this: “Begin it where warm waters halt.”

Zack wrote an entire feature filled with maps, illustrated clues, and even more video. You can read and watch here: http://www.vox.com/a/fenn-treasure-hunt-map

Sometime between 2009 and 2010 an 80 year old man by the name of Forrest Fenn trekked out into the Rocky Mountains and hid a bronze chest filled with over $2 million dollars worth of treasure. The secret to the location of the treasure is contained within a six stanza poem. Forrest Fenn’s treasure, as it’s come to be known, has captivated men, women, and children around the country and world and has lured many people to the Rocky Mountains in the hopes that they’ll find the gold.

    Forrest Fenn was a con artist and a scumbag. TTOTC was a fraud. A fraud that got at least 5 men killed. The whole thing is disgusting.

    Yeah I knew where it was early on…..couldn’t afford to go find it. Fenn wasn’t that hard to figure out. He was dying. He put an arrow head that was sentimental to him in the chest. A dying sentimental man with the clues. It was pretty obvious. The location itself was a gift as well. I was told it was found already.

    i bet you didn’t try inserting everything you already have into chatgpt and have it draw a map for you ?:D) maybe that’s how the treasure has been found anyway 🙃

    Fire that you can only see if you stand in the right spot? My mom visited a spot like that, is it not a waterfall that lights up like fire at sunset?

    I love the bear spray ad promoting 90% effectiveness. That’s a great business model, those 90% leave 5 star reviews while the potential 1-star’ers aren’t around to leave em! Brilliant!

    Update the video. Treasure was found in 2020.

    UPDATE: According to Forrest Fenn, the treasure has been found!

    "It was under a canopy of stars in the lush, forested vegetation of the Rocky Mountains and had not moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago. I do not know the person who found it, but the poem in my book led him to the precise spot. I congratulate the thousands of people who participated in the search and hope they will continue to be drawn by the promise of other discoveries."

    I read the treasure map and I’ve come to the conclusion people have zero reading comprehension skills while I don’t exactly know where it is I can pin point the radius it would be in. People have died and wasted years of their life because nobody taught them to understand context clues 🤦‍♀️

    just use all the modern sophisticated tools to find the treasure.. simple as that..

  15. EVIL QTip on November 28, 2023 at 8:31 am

    @vox have you ever watched the Wizard of Oz played to the Pink Floyd Darkside album? I found a book that Fenn used which matches his memoir. It’s amazing and probably a large part of the hunt never known. I’d love to talk with you guys about it, given you were the first video I watched about this hunt, years ago.
