Forrest Fenn confirms his treasure has been found

A Santa Fe author says the search is finally over for his controversial hidden treasure. Forrest Fenn confirmed with KRQE News 13, someone has found the treasure he did more than 10 years ago.

Blaming Fenn for the deaths of family members is a lot like blaming an automobile company or a firearm manufacturer for negligence for the stupidity of the operator.

[occamsrazor]

If people died, it's on them, not him...

[bettyb]

Nobody forced you to go look for it...

[GardeniaBabe]

The person alleged to have found the treasure merely retrieved it. He did not find it. He stumbled upon it and retrieved it. It was found in New Mexico.

[Filiolus]

That's fucked up to use the deaths against him, shameless even. (As another commenter pointed out it'd be like blaming an auto company for a crash caused by the operator)

...They chose to hunt the treasure.

the man will be 90yrs old in august he hid it 10 yrs ago...do the math...and at the time his health was not good....so if anyone was thinking they had to put their lives at risk to find this ...well..they just didn't think about all of that...he did not put his life at risk to hide it...inexperienced thrill seekers that died did it to themselves...

[butchie]

your loved one died while finding the treasure? sucks to be them, don't blame Fenn, blame yourselves and them. And no one needs to know who found it or else everyone's gonna be asking for a handout,

[josephcappella]

100 percent the person who found it is a family or friend because he definitely knows no one will find it so now that it’s found the person is gonna somehow get it back to fenn before he dies

If you want to see the depth, breadth and prevalence of stupidity in today's USA - just read the comments threads under videos posted on Youtube. Sigh...

That's Fab, and to celebrate not being able to be Sued I have hidden a treasure and written a poem !
Forrest treasure Number 2
The hidden treasure, here is the clue...
Go alone and unprepared, take off your clothes and don't be scared
begin it where white waters boil and take it in the rapids turmoil.
If you avoid the big landmine, take off your boots and start to climb
Rappel across the power line and go right past the Hazard sign
From there you'll find a scary ledge, be brave and jump to the tiny hedge.
If you survive the massive fall, look out for Grizzly avoid the Maul.
Still alive but with no skin, don't forget to take a swim
The waters hot and full of smoke, hold your breath or else you'll choke.
so why is it that you must risk the deadly cold and boiling Lava,
the answer you already know, just stay at home unless you'd rather...
PS: I Hope no-one dies trying to find it

Found between Ouray and Durango on CO HWY 550. I would never reveal that I found the chest, and never reveal that it was found, as the “Finder” does not want to be revealed. If I’m prospecting with my metal detector and I find a gold nugget, I’m not telling anyone that I found it or where I found it. Not even the person with the $money$ who bought it from me. If it came down to having to contest it, I would lie!

[joeschlotthauer]

Never answered your question,
Because he never hid anything...

[antoniorascon]

Why are you guys lie that you talked to fenn and then say that he would not give a interview.

[mrq]

So... The Longmire plot was based on real life!!

[Diggsever]

I dont believe that he buried it 10 years ago and the person who found it was told where to get it after fen just had it buried after the last death

[jesseg]

Yes. Come to find out it was hidden in his mattress. 😲

Here is the one-picture solution. Blaze is at 36.6355, -106.210


The chest was in New Mexico in the Carson National Forest. Two of the important clues are in Colorado, one clue location is on the CO/NM border, and three clues are in New Mexico. The remaining 3 clues are not really needed but serve as fillers and padding to make the poem the right length. The clue locations ON LAND in the real world are not close together, are not consecutive, not contiguous, and not chronological.
No, you really did not have to find where warm waters halt first. That turned out to be misleading, because if you started with home of Brown, you could use the poem-as-map and the edge of the triangle to reverse-engineer and determine where warm waters halted. The blaze was not visible with Google Maps until 2016, when the resolution increased enough to see it. You can still see it today at 36.6355, -106, 2105.

THE HOME OF BROWN

Browns Canyon National Monument in Colorado Railroad Gulch as I go in there alone.

Browns Canyon warm springs where warm waters Halt Hecla Junction boat ramp the put in below the home of brown take the canyon down river of the Arkansas to the Railroad Gulch valley not for the meek take your walking stick front cover Too far to walk for most people not that far for a few you must cross the Arkansas river not for the meek.
Following a dry creek bed into the railroad gulch valley No paddle up your creek brings you to within 200 ft of the first cave on your left entrance. THE BALZE attached to the cave wall a copy of Sitting Bulls peace pipe pointing to outside the cave entrance quickly look down 12 ft below the treasure chest of Mr. Forrest Fenn rested Marvel Gaze Tarry not take the treasure chest tell no one.
