After A Decade Of Searching And Five Deaths, The Forrest Fenn Treasure Found

Santa Fe New Mexican

The search for treasure might be over, but the fight sure isn’t.

Forrest Fenn, an 89-year-old Santa Fe author and artifacts dealer, said his treasure chest hidden in the Rocky Mountains in 2010 was found last week.

“It’s true,” Fenn told The New Mexican in a phone call Sunday, adding that the finder of his chest located the valuable goods “a few days ago.” More

Fenn wouldn’t say where the treasure was found or who found it.

  1. Yeah!
    That was a masterful treasure story.
    The finder deserves it
    Forrest Fenn deserves the joy of finding another adventurer out there
    Everybody else is number 2 or lower

  2. I just did an 800 mile round trip to Colorado last Saturday. I left at 8 am and got home about 4:30 am Sunday…..I bought 3 extra sticks of beef jerky when I fueled up in Limon….would I have bought 3 extra sticks of jerky if I hadn’t found it?….I’ll let you decide….

  3. Whenever there is a large sum of money at stake, you can be sure con men and attorneys (I repeat myself) aren’t too far away.

    Anonymity by the discoverer is smart. For several reasons.

  4. I went through Limon twice that day…
    Once about 1 pm and once about 1 am…
    I didn’t buy any jerky the first time yet bought some the second time…
    The Comfort Inn was calling me to sleep…
    I soldiered forth to Colby…
    150 miles later I slept in my own bed….
    The dogs were happy and had beef jerky breath….
