10 years ago, Santa Fe, New Mexico personality Forrest Fenn buried a chest with $1 million worth of gold and jewels somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. As clues, he publicly offered a map and a poem. That was all that some 350,000 treasure hunters had to go on.
Now Fenn reports that one adventurer has found the treasure. The Santa Fe New Mexican reports:
“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.”
Fenn wouldn’t say where the treasure was found or who found it.
“The guy who found it does not want his name mentioned. He’s from back East,” he said, adding that it was confirmed from a photograph the man sent him.
