The hunt for Forrest Fenn's $2 million hidden treasure
The secret is hidden in a poem that starts like this: “Begin it where warm waters halt.”
Zack wrote an entire feature filled with maps, illustrated clues, and even more video. You can read and watch here: http://www.vox.com/a/fenn-treasure-hunt-map
Sometime between 2009 and 2010 an 80 year old man by the name of Forrest Fenn trekked out into the Rocky Mountains and hid a bronze chest filled with over $2 million dollars worth of treasure. The secret to the location of the treasure is contained within a six stanza poem. Forrest Fenn’s treasure, as it’s come to be known, has captivated men, women, and children around the country and world and has lured many people to the Rocky Mountains in the hopes that they’ll find the gold.

Cool story
If you really wanted to find it, just take a ride down the water 🌊
Soon as he does I’m gonna go get the treasure
how would he know that there were people 250 feet away from it when he lived in New Mexico?
I am a true adventurer
Imagine 75 year old man going up the hill to the cave,carrying a bronze chest filled with gold.
Is this what the one piece crew feel like
At 14 i hiked round alot of Yellowstone lake …7 miles in , and 7 out with my dad and brother . I wish i had known about this treasure
I think you guys were really close to it, if only you would have spent more time near lamar ranger station.
The question isn’t "how much can a 80 year old man do" but "how much can this specific 80 year old man do"?
Who’s here after the finder came out???
It was on the ISLAND in backyard at his gallery
The treasure was finally found last year!!
JUST USE DRONES WITH METAL DETECTORS
Mr. Forrest Fenns special place it would teach us about ourselves
Keep your hands on the steering wheel or walk. I don’t sub to dangerous drivers
why he lloks like he is using lipstick
Sad that He is now dead, But atleast Jack Stuef was able to find His treasure before Fenn dies
I wonder if this video helped the person that found it.
I LOVE U MR FORREST GUMP FENN
thanks for all the fun!
This sounds like one piece
Did anyone find that figurine?
Life is like a Box of Treasure
You never know what your gonna get out of looking for it..
Maybe that’s the treasure.. in it’s self.
I figured out where it is.. but it wasn’t worth the trip with the old man babysitting the treasure and snatching it back anytime somebody gets close
I have a map that is holding a treasure hunt in a island
There legally aren’t many places a person could even put their treasure, it’s not the 70’s anymore, he’s got it stashed in his own property and can see anybody on their way to the treasure and beat them to it
Not even close. If only you knew,
So based on Forrest Fenn’s current age, he would have been appx 79 years old at the time he trekked 42 EXTRA pounds of stuff out into the Rocky Mountains. By himself? Hummm, I wonder… He was either extremely fit for an older guy who had a battle with cancer, to carry that much weight, or he had an accomplice(s) who had assisted him and knew the secret location as well. Either way, very impressive. Impressive if he did it all alone himself, and equally impressive if there was another person(s) who assisted and knew of the location, and was able to keep such a hugh secret as well.
Ridiculous show called “expedition unknown” did an episode on this too
Came back here after I heard he has passed away. This video was the first I heard of his treasure and it sparked a lure to try and find it. But it seems the treasures been found and now Fenn is gone. Now all we have is memories.
Onepiece hunt
Why is this not on tv more…..like history , discovery ….ya know? Makes ya wonder….. i feel the only legal way to take and keep it?…..is if its on forests land.that he owns…… otherwise its national park, forest or native land, or federal forest . Then again…. fibs get told whrn cars get sold…. "oh it was a gift" i didnt pay 3000 for it…..barely runs…. 1$in tax…lol
I would do something like this if I was a billionaire. Put like 5 million in gold and have people search for it.
Better off buying Bitcoin and holding it until 2028
" Tarry scant ..withh marvle gaze ".. means to dawdle…or take your time take in the beauty slowly , then take the chest and go in peace….
I thought about looking for it when I made my trip out West visiting historic place, but when I found about 30 places that could have been considered the Home Of Brown I decided it was just too vague and someone would just have to get very lucky to stumble upon the right trail.
Too bad they didn’t know there’s a Joe Brown launch next to the Yellowstone River. Near the Wyoming border
BROWNS CANYON NATIONAL MONUMENT RAILROAD GULCH VALLEY IN COLORADO.
Forrest Fenn has passed away on September 7th less than three months after the treasure was found. Coincidence?
Great video!
I love that couple 10 : ……
Fyi you’ll see him walking towards you with a smile on your way through, probably talk to him without even realizing it
The hushed giant bilaterally frame because partner coherently rhyme as a messy cart. cynical, gabby friday
Watch it be under his house lol
Who is here after someone discovered the treasure??
U said he loves practical jokes😂
UPDATE: According to Forrest Fenn, 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. I congratulate the thousands of people who participated in the search and hope they will continue to be drawn by the promise of other discoveries."
What’s some truth worth?
13:15 bears rest in caves 🙂
I don’t think he buried anything… Treasure is heavy to lug around for a long time.
