Shane isnt scared of anything isnt he?
maybe white blaze means water shoot since water near there looks white rather than blue or clear.
Yesterday (6 June 2020) Forest Fenn Announced that The Treasure is found
For hikers in the backcountry, a blaze is a type of marking that establishes a trail for other hikers so you don’t get lost.
I guess you could say the real treasure was the friends we made along the way… or maybe the treasure was inside of us all along?
I
A "blaze" is a trail marking. I.e, trail blazer.
this gives me uncharted flashbacks
imagine if he never even hid treasure and made people search for nothing
Does anyone else think "take it in the canyon" is code for major league butt stuff?
Imagine going on a casual hike not knowing about this humt and seeing a chest on/in the ground and think "huh, weird" and actually find it-
i dont need to finish the videos. because it’s Buzfeed Unsolved they didnt find it and remain unsolved
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY6pyHFdKPw
Nice try, we all know you guys found it but kept it for keeps
Yooo so according to Fenn’s website the treasure has been found yesterday (6 June 2020) and “the blaze” referred to stars which explained why the bois couldn’t find it: https://www.oldsantafetradingco.com/the-thrill-resource-page
We’re shooting our post mortem episode Monday, so make sure to leave your questions down below!
This is now buzzfeed solved
now i feel like finding that chest!
I bet my mom could find it . She finds everything.
well i don’t know much but i know 2 things.
a brownshome is a technical term for something. it’s either a species of tree, mushroom or archway.
secondly the sun, in particular at twilight, was very commonly referred to a blaze, especially in and around that area.
Benjamin Gates could have found this no problem!
I think it is somewhere in a river, for all to see due to it referring to the cold is worth it and that the end is ever high. Is there a waterfall or a cave that gets flooded?
How is this a true crime
I have a theory of my own:
I don’t really think that The one who buried the treasure could take in account the Natural disasters like Tornadoes, Land slides and other up world Disasters
So I think that if you reasearch possible Natural disasters that happened in New Mexico it could help with finding the treasure
Theory do you think that he made all of this up to get more people outsode
8:06 bars
A blaze is a mark on a tree to mark a trail.
Maybe at that time he brought a phone with him. Just check his location.
I think ”blaze” means that you have to hit a blunt to find it
They should’ve seen if they could’ve searched behind the water fall
he did this "treasure hunt" so he can claim "i have no money, i gave it all away". if he ever had it(treasures) he most likely sold it and deposited money into an offshore bank.
They should try and find other treasures
its under a white trailblazer on a small path near the river under the bear dens where you tried to go
They should of used a metal detector
Lol!! Heck I feel like I went with them to the adventure! Was awesome!

You know, what if, Fenn was not alone when he hid his treasure? What if, he, i dunno, collaborated with someone who can like, literally walk a mile or two or, hard terrain. And what if, they made a promise not to tell anybody. And Fenn compensated this "man." cause i could only imagine a young adult while listening to the poem (I tend to imagine stuffs according to the poems I’m listening to.)
And guys, dont kill me, I just said what if. Fenn didnt clarify if he was working alone or not. Although its his treasure and all, he has alot of resources to make this "man" shut his mouth.
A blaze is also a trail left for other kickers to find that lead to more sought after landscapes
It’s been found
I crack the Poem he written
I really think that’s its behind a water fall. I’m surprised that wasnt really mentioned as a hint.
Next time bring a metal detector
Im sorry but how is this a "true crime"?
People actually think that the treasure exists lol
What if it’s in the trees
would’ve been really hilarious if they happened to find a geocache, frantically opened it and found like…a toy frog.

Did you see the chest In the video?
I’m sorry a two-thousand-year-old WHAT necklace??
the clue "far but too far to walk" what if he refers to other means of transportation that is not car. forest is an outdoors adventure so he is fit, so maybe he used a boat and sailed down the stream instead of drive. or other water transport. idk
