Santa Fe-based Fenn hid the chest, worth at least $1 million, in the Rocky Mountains of
New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana, 10 years ago.

Fenn said that the 12th-century bronze chest weighs 20 pounds and its contents, which
include gold coins, gold nuggets, and other valuables, weigh another 22 pounds.

But now the hunt is over, as an anonymous man from "back East," Fenn said, revealed
that he had found the chest by sending a photograph of it to the author.


Writing on the Thrill of the Chase blog, Fenn said: "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.

My friend has been treasure hunting for something for years. I wonder if this is it? I'll have to send him the article.

edit: I just texted him and this is the same thing. He's been looking for this treasure for years and we all laughed. He swears one if his trips he walked right past the spot they found it. He said it was in a National Park which caused legal problems and he wonders if the solution to that will ever be revealed. CRAZY!

That is awesome!

Never heard of it before, but totally get the concept.
Kind of reminds me of "In Search of Captain Zero" for some reason.

Enjoy the Journey, Fellow Travelers!

I don't see the challenge as a greed vs risk thing.

We are surfers, anyone who surfs long enough will know someone who dies in the water.

Snow skiing, aviation, river running, boating, off roading, sailing, forestry workers, etc. I've known people who have died in all of those activities. Some made their living doing it and died while doing a job they loved, others were enthusiasts doing an activity they loved.

I can see treasure hunters in that category. Not being greedy but doing something they love, hunt for treasure.

Not a problem for me, I'm way too lazy.
