The hunt for Forrest Fenn's $2 million hidden treasure

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.

    Imagine 75 year old man going up the hill to the cave,carrying a bronze chest filled with gold.

  5. james king on March 26, 2022 at 11:14 pm

    Soon as he does I’m gonna go get the treasure

  6. Aarav on March 26, 2022 at 11:14 pm

    Who is here after someone discovered the treasure??

  7. Łukasz Aberdonski on March 26, 2022 at 11:15 pm

    Forrest Fenn has passed away on September 7th less than three months after the treasure was found. Coincidence?

  8. April Sparks on March 26, 2022 at 11:16 pm

    It was on the ISLAND in backyard at his gallery

  9. Steven Waterfielkd on March 26, 2022 at 11:19 pm

    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.

    how would he know that there were people 250 feet away from it when he lived in New Mexico?

    Onepiece hunt

  12. Dillard Denton on March 26, 2022 at 11:24 pm

    What’s some truth worth?

  13. Ian Leirfallom on March 26, 2022 at 11:24 pm

    @vox have you ever watched the Wizard of Oz played to the Pink Floyd Darkside album? I found a book that Fenn used which matches his memoir. It’s amazing and probably a large part of the hunt never known. I’d love to talk with you guys about it, given you were the first video I watched about this hunt, years ago.

    Too bad they didn’t know there’s a Joe Brown launch next to the Yellowstone River. Near the Wyoming border

  15. Pixie2sweet on March 26, 2022 at 11:27 pm

    Lol humanity isn’t going to live for 1,000 years let alone 10,000 years on this planet if we keep trashing it.

  16. james king on March 26, 2022 at 11:28 pm

    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

  17. EVIL QTip on March 26, 2022 at 11:29 pm

    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.

  22. Michael Shirk on March 26, 2022 at 11:32 pm

    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.

  23. EVIL QTip on March 26, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    Update the video. Treasure was found in 2020.

  29. Zach Spar on March 26, 2022 at 11:43 pm

    I don’t think he buried anything… Treasure is heavy to lug around for a long time.

    This sounds like one piece

  35. peter weiss on March 26, 2022 at 11:50 pm

    I have a map that is holding a treasure hunt in a island

  36. Ben Norwood on March 26, 2022 at 11:51 pm

    I think it’s in Cody Wyoming

  37. Ryan Chacon on March 26, 2022 at 11:51 pm

    I think you guys were really close to it, if only you would have spent more time near lamar ranger station.

  38. james king on March 26, 2022 at 11:51 pm

    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

  39. james king on March 26, 2022 at 11:55 pm

    If you really wanted to find it, just take a ride down the water 🌊

  48. Focus Studios on March 27, 2022 at 12:04 am

    Ridiculous show called “expedition unknown” did an episode on this too

  49. gEthan Dongla on March 27, 2022 at 12:06 am

    Sad that He is now dead, But atleast Jack Stuef was able to find His treasure before Fenn dies

  50. Vox on March 27, 2022 at 12:10 am

    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."
