Cool!

I always thought that this thing must have been stashed somewhere where in which hunting is not permitted (e.g., a national park) Otherwise, with all the hunters roaming the forests during the fall months, someone would have been bound to stumble across it after all these years.

well hell.

There is still The Lost Dutchman's Gold I can look for ----IF ----LV2HNT and/or Dirtclod, does not find it first

that guy that parachuted out of a commercial plane over washington. did they ever find him or his body and the money ?

can you imagine that guy when he found the chest in New Mexico. If he didn't drive there he probably rented a car to drive back home ( they said he was from back east.)

I wish they have given some clue to where it was found. From reading the poem years ago, I always thought it was in or close to the Rio Grande gorge by Taos.

edit: I always thought a fly fisherman or a sheep hunter in the gorge would stumble on it.

@tonydokoupil: I don't believe that Forrest Fenn's treasure has really been found. And I'm certain that if it has been found, the finder has no idea what he or she is holding. I'll explain, but first...…

There was a Longmire episode on something similar. I didn't realize it was a real thing.

I don't think I saw this posted yet, so bumping up this thread. Too bad about the lawsuits and other nuts that I am sure will harass him.

The Man Who Found Forrest Fenn's Treasure

The decade-long hunt captured the world's attention, but when it finally ended in June, everyone still wanted to know: Who had solved the mystery? This week, as legal proceedings threaten his anonymity, a 32-year-old medical student is ready to go on the record.

The Finders respect for public land is honorable, I tip my cap.

Why buy a ticket, just sue the winners.

The finder will also make a good sum of money in the future. Netflix special? Book? Made for TV movie?
