In 2010, Forrest Fenn (1930-2020) the owner of a gallery in Santa Fe, hid a bronze treasure chest that weighed 20 pounds and contained gold nuggets, rare coins, jewelry, and gemstones estimated to be worth $2 million. He wrote a book with hints as to where the treasure was hidden. The romance and adventure titillated treasure hunters to search New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, however what many of them found was unusual and premature death.
THE BEGINNING
There were many that could not resist the siren's call of finding a treasure with a map in the form of a poem found in Fenn's memoirs The Thrill of the Chase (2010). But like many tales of easy fortunes, there's a down side, and it appeared that Fenn's Treasure didn't want to be found. Some would call it superstition, and others bad luck, but those who measure the odds considered it was cursed.
