Name of man who says he found Forrest Fenn's infamous hidden treasure chest revealed

A decade ago, an eccentric New Mexico art dealer hid more than $1 million worth of treasure somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. In June, he said someone had found it, but that person wished to remain anonymous. Now, the man who found Fenn's treasure is unmasking himself. Janet Shamlian reports.

Been saying we need more of this kind of stuff. Don’t know why individuals or companies haven’t created more experiences like this for people to do. A lot of amazing possibilities.

Who cares about Forrest Fenn's treasure, I want to find *The Flying Dutchman's Treasure.*

[ettajames]

Govt will take all and give him 1% just like in National Treasure!!!!

I heard Jack married a descendant of the famous Orville and Wilbur and they had a kid they named Donnie Joey Jordan Mark Jonothan, but the local papers just announced it as the "Wright-Steuf baby".

God Bless You Forrest Fenn! You made treasure hunting fun again, "sorry for the lives that this experience may have taken!"

[rosem]

Well this guys life in now got a target on it. Hope he can use that money to up security where he lives

[thomasfuller]

The museum wants it... The IRS wants a cut... it's gone.

[Avadon]

The fact that five people died trying to find the treasure sort of overshadows the treasure itself or the hunt for it. This whole thing should have been called off the moment one person died looking for it

[__-pljg]

Should have stayed anonymous. Now no one will get the thrill of searching plus he has to pay taxes on the treasure. Rookie mistake.

[jennifercoleman]

Wow this crazy. And it's sad people died trying to find this....

[AnnLeiSoCal]

Idiot lawsuit, hope it gets thrown out. In the mean time I think I will order his book.

[John-hpmv]

I still like to see the precious jewels

Theory: Maybe the founder said that he found it so that no one will look into it anymore and increase the chances of finding it.
