Forrest Fenn Treasure Finally Found In Rocky Mountains | TODAY
Fenn’s insecurities and ego cost at least five lives and some their life savings. All for a hoax. No wonder Fenn is an admirer of conman Donald Trump.
HEY IDIOTS! IT WASN’T BURIED!
i dont care who found it, just where the fux the actuall location🤔
I buried roughly $800k at Mosquito Lake park in Ohio and that was 4 years ago and still to this day no one has found it. I check on it from time to time.
I wonder if shane punching that tree right now after hearing the forrest fenn treasure had been found
I bet it’s still out there. He even gave a new poetic clue that was posted by someone (not him) 😉
U know theres a old map that says home of brown ski resort was it there ?
The actual value of the treasure means nothing to so many rather than just knowing where the actaul location was.
Im now a little sad that we now know Shane and Ryan didn’t actually find the treasure
Where are the pictures Fenn promised?
It’s a really unfortunate ending tot he story, how Forrest has handled this. My gut tells me this is BS
This was found in Yellowstone on federal property. The location will never be reveled for laws regarding property on federal land!
The person who found it did it by my solve, that’s why the finder doesn’t want to know where it was found.
Look at this and tell me I’m wrong. https://youtu.be/DLjCwvPQsbY
https://youtu.be/3W00W0zNaog
Why not reveal the location?? That’s rather rude.
Anyone else find it a bit fishy that the treasure which lets be honest a lot of us thought would never be found or take a LONG time to be found has been ‘discovered’ after only ten years and particularly whilst Forrest is still alive?
He seems like a smart and good guy IMO so I find it hard to believe he would lie about this and also ppl have died but then again maybe that’s why he’s called off the hunt…
Why hasn’t he revealed where it was found at least???
Apparently he’s been busy whatever the heck that means…
If he doesn’t reveal the location soon then that’s just pure bitterness and mean.
Top of Wraith Falls Wyoming is where it was
I doubt it was ever real.
It’s way too shady that the guy won’t reveal his identity. Even then, that’s fine. Saying he will never reveal where it was found? That’s insane. Until then, there’s zero proof his poem ever led to any specific real location. Give closure to the thousands that searched or bought your book. Or for those that died.
Probably unrelated, the other two artifacts traders investigated by the FBI committed suicide. It was that bad. But Fenn’s stash wasn’t in his home. Weirdly it was gone. Hidden somewhere. And then it reappeared after all federal statutes of limitation had run. FF, who loves ciphers, codes and inside jokes, released the statement it had been found on 6/6, which you can already figure out is a kid’s way of encoding FF. You know, now as I think about it, It’s almost like some cynical and sarcastic person deciphered the poem, sent the location to the Department of the Interior ("back East") and asked it to intervene. It’s almost like that. But nah.
No offence, I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but I call bs on this one. I think Fenn knows he’s about to pass away soon, so, after a decade, he decided to end the hunt of a treasure that never existed to begin with. I understand the person who allegedly found it doesn’t want to be identified, but they refused to reveal its location as well. I think the problem with that is that if Fenn told us where it was many people would come forward and say “Hey, I was exactly at this very spot and we couldn’t find the chest! You’ve been lying to us for 10 years.” Granted, this could also be the reason it’s not revealed, if the treasure ever existed, because Fenn doesn’t want to get thousands of letters and calls.
I’m still curious if we were close at least.
anyone seen a Sasquatch spending up large ?
LOL! What he meant "Blaze" is a wild plant, if you looked down, it was surrounded not buried under the " Blaze" ( Blazing Star) I was making a trip this year but
Covid stopped me. It was a small trail along branch of a river past the fork but he mentioned the treasure was not buried but it had to be naturally covered, so
look for plants along game trail that someone his age can handle but not easily to walk. I blame covid and the dam chinese for ruining my trip!!! My search
would have been at Piedra Creek, 2.5 hrs NW of Sante Fe, you can paddle or walk until you get to the fork where Coldwater Creek feeds into it, take that path
it is harsh terrain but manageable and not for everyone, it’s a long walk, the trail will end in a meadow of Blazing Stars (wild plant) the box is not buried but
you will see the top of it which will stand out around the wild plants. When the poem mentioned "Blaze" at your feet, if you knew where those plants
take root, you just had to find the trail that leads to them.
wow this will be a big hunt.
good luck to the treasure hunters.
It’s funny now he is busted for lying 🤥
The Poem, the clues are lines 5 thru 13 (with explanations) read it you will see and how we got there with the poem only, then only the Moby video and only his clues. he was informed
you CAN see it on google earth, watch the Moby interview
Dated 11/2 /2013.
You CAN see it , from that response we believed that he knew you could see it and made a second trip to cover
He went by horse 2 trips one to place it. One later to cover it. We have Pictures DOABLE AT ANY AGE BY HORSE
We can fill In all the blanks both, books and poem
MOBY QUESTION @@ to @ range
Is it possible to locate the treasure chest without ever leaving your computer and google earth?
Answer. no (thought about it hesitated, then answered with a caveat)
it isn’t did i really say that aaaa theres not a picture of the treasure chest on google earth " because google earth doesn’t go down far enough” did i really say that
WELL YOU CAN and he knew it, 2nd trip to cover, and he knew us
An 80 year old can walk or get there by horse its a horse trail that branches off the human trail—not alsociated with human trail in fact it’s doable at ANY age
1- wwwh – hebgen lake where the madison enters lake in montana warm touches cold at this point madison gibbons firehole form the warm madison , madison is at its warmest here until it touches the lake
start at the lake
2- canyon down – head north down madison canyon to next clue

6- nigh – you are now close take the trail and keep left,, you will also cross over the DRY Cameron Creek bed left on horse trail that branches left off the human trail
7- no paddle up creek – Bear Creek on right many large boulders, fast water, you will also cross over the DRY Cameron Creek bed
8- water high – you are going to the lake at the top, but not the highest one Cedar Lake they could not land there in the helicopter , the lower one Lake Cameron with the grassy 300’ wide field that they landed at,
the rivulet is there, the stone embankment is there where he and Donnie woke to find the horses missing hiden behind, in the high grass 300′ wide field, MEASURE IT
follow the rivulet it ends a short distance at a stone washout- no way up or down IN STORY
9- blaze – BLAZE. A FIRE PIT the old fire pit, its the round fire pit north end in the tall grass, no pine tar (TARRY SCANT) old pit, nothing has changed for 50 years plus
go to it pick it up and get out fast
thats how to read it all 9 clues lines 5 to 13 in poem ignore the rest
NOW
go to Lake Cameron Montana on google maps pro outside Ennis
ZOOM into the round fire pit on the north end **SLOWLY*
TAKE YOUR TIME UNTILL YOU SEE IT AND LEARN THE TIMING AND BEST APPROACH ANGLE
you will see it
Screen capture it, expand it,
our best shot came from the field view
What you will see is the treasure box and the number 9 if you zoom from the field, the number 6 if you zoom from lake
go to google earth pro
type in Lake Cameron Montana or 45 12’52.31" N 111 33’17.29”W
zoom into the Blaze aka fire pit its not a stick or marker a Fire Pit at end of lake get as close as you can SLOWLY before it Disappears again come in SLOWLY from the west to the round fire pit at north side of lake
you’ll see the 10"x10" treasure box and the number 9 in the OLD fire pit in the old no pine tar fire pit MEASURE THE BOX, MEASURE THE FIELD, FOLLOW THE RIVULET they could not go down TO THE STONE WASHOUT he and donnie could not go further
you’ll see the 300′ wide grassy area you’ll see the rivulet that he and Donnie could not go down
you will see the embankment where the horses were not visible in the morning when they woke
thats all you need
now REVERSE BACK from there ON GOOGLE EARTH PRO
from there you’ll back track down past the FISHLESS lake cameron follow the SWITCH BACKS on a horse trail *not associated with a human trail
to the bear creek heavy boulders no paddle then down the road to the blue moon trailer camp grounds believed to be where his mother passed away
***the madison river elevation between cameron and ennis is 5000’ near the 50 mile riffle, he and Donnie went 50 miles or so from the lake story
all below the miner frank sandbar Browns home in Phillipsburg mt BROWN DROPPED HIS FIRST AND NICK NAME AND WAS ONLY ADDRESSED AS Brown
LOOK HIM UP
continue to backtrack from blue moon back to the hebgen lake to where warm water meet
***because the firehouse gibbon madison are the warm waters that meet the colder hebgon lake thats the begin at point
***just above his family campsite is the mountain his brother flew around and landed in the lake its BALD mountain like he randomly mentionedHE WAS GOING BALD in the first few pages BALD mt is 10180′ elevation below the 10200’ clue
ADDITIONAL CLUES, His mother passed in CAMERON MONTANA, JUNE AND DONNIE WERE MARRIED and GRAVESITES UNKNOWN, they MAY be scattered there from the TAOS story, the clue was given to look his family up when he looked up his dad on the internet, MAKING THIS HIS SPECIAL SPOT
FROM THE HIGH EMBANKMENT YOU CAN SEE BELOW WEST WHERE HIS MOTHER PASSED IN CAMERON, TO THE NORTHWEST PHILLIPSBURG MT HOME OF BROWN AND SOUTH WEST TO BALD MOUNTAIN
so now you can start at hebgen lake north down canyon to the blue moon
right to the bear creek make noise so you don’t get eaten
follow the no paddle creek to the trail marked for horses
up the switch backs to the heavy water high to the no fish in it lake cameron to the blaze fire pit in the high grass 300′ helicopter landing site below the waterfall at cedar lake that they couldn’t land at in the war story
the CHIPMUNKS they are everywhere on the way
ALSO draw a mountain then see if it looks like the illustration he put in his follow up book
YOU WILL DRAW A MOUNTAIN WITH PEAKS ASK ANY ONE THE SAME
HE DREW The Sphinx you see it on the way up, same tree, same resting rock,same angle
we have more, much more, email I’ll fill all the blanks in
MEASURE ON GOOGLE ITS 10×10, NOTHING in nature makes a 10×10 4 sided 90degree angle box next to a NINE
THERE IS MORE
delete this garbage from this fraudster who cost people there lives
Nobody will ever fall for this again… I hope. Faker Forrest Fenn has ruined anyone starting a genuine treasure hunt.
Forrest went back and took it. It sad that he betrayed all those who worked so hard. You see him with the rusty treasure on the pictures. Real Shame.
Well that is a bust.
Is no one skeptical of this? Anonymous finder, no location or even solve for the poem. Not sure why anyone would just take this guy at his word, for all you know this thing was sitting in his backyard the entire time.
https://youtu.be/1kNiZdasGOk
I found it..and showed him..Fenn the spot..fact
For the Record https://youtu.be/jxN6pgdg730?t=3006
CALL BUZZFEED UNSOOOLVED
Video explains entire treasure hunt. https://youtu.be/KwHnMDHY29Q
Still more gold to find, solve the riddles!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgVrRNWC0kQ
Might be fake, but if I found it I certainly wouldn’t want my identity disclosed either.
ONE PIECE does exist!!!!! 🏴☠️
At least the famed Tomar Emeralds are still out there to find.
Ah, you probably should have peppered the word "allegedly" liberally throughout this piece.
I’m not saying it’s definitely fake but an anonymous finder with zero proof? That’s EXACTLY what a hoaxer would do. Unless Forrest publishes proof, there will always be doubt and speculation, and rightly so. Sure he has no legal obligation to but it would be a spit in the face of all the time and even deaths that people have invested.
Now that the hunt is over, all i want to know from Forest fen himself is where he hid that treasure all those years.
I couldnt care less of who found it.
No one really cares about the Who but the WHERE is huge and also how they solved the clues
🔥Humor Alert🔥Ummm that was a Scooby-Doo mystery right there 🙄 and we all know who actually found the gold the old guy that’s standing there telling us the 70+old person who found it would rather remain anonymous.🤦
*He’s a con he made thousands on this stupid treasure hunt off book sales etc…*
Plot twist it’s full of cursed objects and now they will have bad luck for all eternity
Conman Fenn cost at least 5 people their lives. I hope he’s proud of himself.
Whatever . ……i just hope whomever found it….really needs it !
I’m sorry but if I heard I was within a few miles of 2 million dollars I would continue to keep looking for it
