Somewhere in the Rocky Mountains is a 10'X10' Romanesque box containing gold coins, gold nuggets, artifacts, and precious gems worth almost two million dollars.
 | In 2010, a multimillionaire art dealer named Forrest Fenn hid this treasure somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. He then went on to write a book titled "The Thrill of the Chase" That had a poem in it. This poem gives you the clues to find this treasure. |

Forrest Fenn hid this treasure at the age of 80. Since 2010, it is estimated that more than 65,000 treasure hunters have gone out looking for this elusive box of riches. Fenn believes the treasure is still in place and that people have gotten as close to 200 feet from it.
So far, two people have died on their search and a possible third death may also be attributed this treasure hunt. I would assume that if an 80 year old man can lug this 40 pound box to its hiding spot, Then you don't need to go rappelling down a cliff or white water rafting in the Rio Grande.
Have any Steemians gone out looking for this treasure?
Forrest Fenn has said that if the price of gold increases and the treasure ever reaches the value of 10 million dollars, He will end the hunt and retrieve the treasure box.
It looks like he succeeded.
Personally I would like to go out searching sometime. When that might be, I don't know. It sure is exciting to think that the possibility of finding it is within anyone's reach. What do you think?
Until next time...
Keep being cool Steemit
I read about this story.
So the idea is simple just imagine a 80 yr hid the treasure himself.
It should not be to hard to find.
Is it common sense??
I dont know. 65,000 people have tried. It is such a large area!
I nearly forgot! Tip!
Thank you kind sir.
Hmmm.. I live in Colorado and did not know this. Would love to find it on one of my random hikes
Yes. There is a big community of hunters out there sharing thoughts. Do some research if you are going to go out looking for it. My hunch is that it is in the northern region but that's not based on anything super solid. Just a hunch. Good luck!
Lol. I'll get right on it
People getting out of their houses is good. As long as they're making up puns on the trail! What's the real treasure? Trees, sure!
lets go find it! i'm ready right now!

He joined same month too. Coincidence?
Looks legit.
Probably coincidence. Funny, though.
