    What if Forrest’s chest is hidden in such a way that people keep adding to the pile instead of looking under the pile. People keep adding 10 rocks to the top. I am SO happy that rock pile is not in our search area! Even still, I want to know what is hidden underneath.

    Hmmm…….The mountains all around the area look the same, it isn’t any wonder he could never relocate his find.

    Some day someone will get lost, climb a hill to get their bearings, and become a millionaire.
