Podcasts about fenn's treasure

Attorney and Chicago Treasure Hunter Barb Andersen joins Anna once again to give us on update on the legendary Fenn's Treasure and to explain why she believes the treasure remains to be found.

Author Daniel Barbarisi visits Fraud Busting.  He spent 3 years searching for Forrest Fenn's Treasure-worth $1m and only findable if you could decode a very cryptic poem written by the eccentric antique dealer. Hundreds of thousands of people searched over 10 years and in 2020 it was announced that the treasure was found.  Was the ever really a treasure?  Was there a legitimate finder?  Was the whole thing a fraud?  You've got to listen to find out.

A former Air Force pilot turned (possibly shady) art dealer thinks he's on his way to the grave in the late 80s and comes up with an idea. He's going to use his amassed wealth to put together a modern day treasure chest and go die next to it in the Rocky Mountains. The flaw in his plan? He didn't die. That man was Forest Fenn and he eventually decided in 2010 to hide the treasure anyway (without his body) and tell the world to go find it; winner take all. And with that the hunt was on. Over the course of the next decade hundreds of thousands of people searched high and low for this infamous box. Some even lost their lives in the pursuit. But was this treasure really out there? If so, were the clues really under everyone's noses in a poem Fenn had written? And perhaps most importantly, could John and Brent be any worse at poetry recital? We answer those questions and more this week as we go in search of Fenn's Treasure. Plus, Conspiracy Bot plugs yet another "Uncle Conspiracy Bot’s Fun Time Toy" (sigh), Kyle gets a change of scenery (and circuitry), and the studio gets a redecoration (not in a good way). All of that and more on the podcast that’s never found a buried treasure, but we did once stumble upon two tickets to paradise - Hysteria 51.

On Today's State News Episode, Zach and Aaron quickly recap the always changing and 'headline' grabbing news on COVID-19 and remind the listerners to continue to research themselves. An interesting development is occuring between the family of Forrest Fenn and the 38 year old who found his treasure (claimed to be found in WY!). Zach and Aaron also discuss issues like homelessness and the upcoming decommisioning and replacement of nuclear missles in Cheyenne at the F.E. Warren Base.

Over the past 10 years… you probably heard about Forest Fenn.. an eccentric millionaire who buried treasure somewhere in the Western US… and he published clues. Oh, wait.   — Fenn Before he died… Fenn wanted to get people off their couches. And along the way, treasure hunters scoured the Rockies searched, and surrendered …at least two people died…  before the treasure was discovered last summer.  but as to WHO discovered it… that remained a mystery …until now. Because of a court case over the treasure hunt…  the person who found Forest Fenn’s booty… had to reveal himself… and he chose to do so to Outside magazine. And it wasn’t a grizzled Indiana Jones type.  If you can believe this… he’s a 32-year-old med student who used to write comedy for The Onion.  Name is Jack Steuf…. who says he became obsessed with the treasure hunt in 2018… and found the mysterious box in Wyoming… but he won’t say where. Inside… he found gold nuggets… coins … sapphires… diamonds and pre-Columbian artifacts worth .. eh… 2-million dollars. Jack Steuf decided not to keep the treasure.  He’ll auction it off… because he’s in med school.  And has student loans to pay off. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2010, when eccentric art collector Forrest Fenn announced that he had buried a chest filled with precious gems and rare jewelry estimated to be worth millions, a modern-day treasure hunt began. The chest was located somewhere in the vast Rocky Mountains and with only 9 mysterious clues hidden within the lines of a poem, finding it wouldn't be easy. In fact, for some intrepid explorers, it would be their final earthly adventure. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Treasure hunts are so cool. Fenn's Treasure has supposedly been found. The Trails Evolutions treasure hunt that won't end until the year 2113. How to start a Barstool Virtual Treasure/Crypto Hunt. The LOST rewatch. Why did the writers strike ruin LOST? Who blew a bigger lead, Skype to Zoom or Blockbuster to Netflix?

Around 2010, Forrest Fenn hid a multimillion-dollar treasure in the Rocky Mountains. Gold, gems, and other precious items are packed in a portable 12th-century bronze chest. Nearly half a million people have searched for it in vain.  A couple of weeks ago, I spoke two hours with one of the foremost experts on Forrest Fenn's treasure, Dal Nietzel. It was a fascinating and fun conversation.  Right before I planned to release the podcast, a man from the Eastern United States found Forrest Fenn's treasure!  That's right. Around June 6, 2020, Forrest Fenn said the chase is over. Therefore, this podcast is divided into two parts.  The first part, which is 90% of the podcast, was recorded a couple of weeks ago before the treasure had been found. The second part is an addendum, where I interviewed Dal again to capture his thoughts now that the treasure hunt is over.   We don't know where the treasure was found yet. Therefore, just to be able to say "I told you so," I will list the places I had planned to search. And I will ask Dal the same question. This exercise will either make us feel good (that we were wrong) or make us feel bad (that we would have found it had we not delayed our search).  Questions I asked Dal (pronounced "Dale") In 60 seconds, tell us the story behind Fenn’s Treasure. In 60 seconds, what do you say to those who say that “there is no treasure” because either (a) it’s already been found or (b) it never was there in the first place?  What’s one of the funniest/absurd solves you have ever heard? For instance, on the roof of the visitor center by Old Faithful. Most treasure hunters are information takers. Why are you an information giver? For a decade, nearly half a million people have searched in vain for the treasure. Do you think it will be found this century? How about this decade? How about this year or next? Fenn gave an unsatisfying answer when he was asked about the legal ramifications of finding his treasure. What’s your opinion? To find the treasure, you have to have one or more of these qualities: intelligence, persistence, or luck. Given all the people who have searched, it’s remarkable that nobody has found it. What’s the percentage chance that someone finds it and doesn’t announce it in some fashion? Fenn believes that the person who will find the treasure will walk with resolve and certainty. But many times people stumble on treasures or dead bodies by accident. What do you think? I imagine that most times, you approach your solves with some skepticism. But a few times, you probably went somewhere with 95%+ confidence that you were walking to the treasure, exactly as Fenn said the treasure finder would walk. Where were those spots and what went wrong? Do you often wonder if you were one of the people who got within 200 ft of the treasure? Describe the type of person or group that will find the treasure. Do you think those who have been searching for years have an advantage or a disadvantage over newbies? Overthinking the riddle? Do you think if Fenn’s doctor tells him that he’s terminally ill, that Fenn will reveal a juicy clue? Or does he hope it stays a mystery for decades? I know it’s probably unimportant, but has there ever been a poll that indicates where most people think the treasure lies? My guess is that there’s a 60% chance that it’s in or near Yellowstone, 30% chance of being in New Mexico, and 10% of being elsewhere. What do most people think? How about you? You’re one of the few who have had significant contact with Fenn. If you find the treasure, do you worry that many will accuse you of having inside information even though your lack of success after many years of searching proves that you don’t have an advantage? What would you do if you found the treasure? You’ve heard every possible theory about “where the warm waters halt.” Which hypotheses sound the most plausible to you? Is there something that Fenn communicated that you think is significant, but that few talk about? He said there are a couple of “hints” in his book. What are the leading candidates? Have you read Flywater or the Journal of a Trapper? Assuming someone else discovers the treasure in your lifetime, how will that news make you feel?   There are nine clues in Fenn's poem. The first clue is "Begin it where warms waters halt." It's unclear what the other eight clues are. Forrest Fenn's Treasure Poem As I have gone alone in thereAnd with my treasures bold,I can keep my secret where,And hint of riches new and old. Begin it where warm waters haltAnd take it in the canyon down,Not far, but too far to walk.Put in below the home of Brown. From there it’s no place for the meek,The end is ever drawing nigh;There’ll be no paddle up your creek,Just heavy loads and water high. If you’ve been wise and found the blaze,Look quickly down, your quest to cease,But tarry scant with marvel gaze,Just take the chest and go in peace. So why is it that I must goAnd leave my trove for all to seek?The answers I already knowI’ve done it tired, and now I’m weak. So hear me all and listen good,Your effort will be worth the cold.If you are brave and in the woodI give you title to the gold. Bonus clues CLUE 10Above 5,000 feet and below 10,200 feet CLUE 11At least 8.25 miles north of Santa Fe CLUE 12Not in a graveyard CLUE 13Not in an outhouse, or associated with a structure CLUE 14Not in a tunnel, cave, or mine CLUE 15Where warm waters halt is not a dam CLUE 16In Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, or New Mexico CLUE 17Not underwater CLUE 18Not near the Rio Grande CLUE 19Not necessary to move large rocks or climb up or down a steep precipice CLUE 20Not under a man-made object What’s (almost) certain The key is knowing “where the warm waters halt.” Because the subsequent clues “get progressively easier after you discover where the first clue is.” Pine trees and sagebrush must be nearby. It’s probably above 7000 feet because: (1) he stumbled when he announced his 5,000 ft clue, (2) the poem says it’s “cold,” (3) the poem implies that the treasure overlooks a marvelous view (4) and high places usually have less traffic than low places. A stream/creek must be nearby too--that might attract the animals that he says are around there. The bronze treasure chest is wet. That could be because it’s next to a bumbling spring or it’s getting constant spray from a nearby waterfall. However, because waterfalls attract humans, I doubt it’s right next to a waterfall, even a small one. That would attract too much attention. Instead, it’s probably wet because there’s usually morning dew in that zone (FF said, “Physics tells me that it’s wet”). However, perhaps he said it’s wet because they asked the question during the winter/spring and he figured the chest was covered in snow. It’s not underwater. Fenn talked about hiding a can of Dr. Pepper “under a rock in the cooling waters of a rivulet.” If it’s resting on water, it would have to be held very securely, perhaps sandwiched firmly between solid boulders and the water would have to be extremely calm. Otherwise, there’s too high of a risk that the treasure will wash away after decades of sitting there. Therefore, it’s extremely unlikely that it’s touching water. Whatever wetness it has must be from condensation or dew (i.e., “physics”). It’s probably not buried, but it’s almost certain that it’s covered by either vegetation and/or (more likely) a jumble of small rocks--like a mini-sepulcher. It’s unlikely that it’s sitting out in the open. Dal mentioned Jenny’s site, Mysterious Writings, and Cynthia’s site, Chasing Fenn’s Treasure. Video summary of what's in the treasure chest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbc8LwZIr6U My solution  Since Forrest Fenn's treasure has been found and yet we still don't know where it was found, I'll share how I interpreted the poem and where I was planning to look.  Once we learn the location, it will be fun to see if I was right or wrong.  At the end of the interview, Dal shared where he expected to find it. I'll feel like I genius and an idiot if I am right. A genius for figuring it out. An idiot for not getting there in time.  My interpretation of each line   As I have gone alone in there I went alone to my hiding place  And with my treasures bold, Making little effort to hide my treasures since nobody was around I can keep my secret where, This place gets few visitors And hint of riches new and old. It’s near a place with historical significance (e.g., old trade route or mining operation)   Begin it where warm waters halt [See several interpretations in the next section] And take it in the canyon down, Follow the canyon downstream Not far, but too far to walk. Drive the road for 2-10 miles, probably closer to 2 miles since he said those who solved the first two clues went right by the treasure. Put in below the home of Brown. Park your car. Since Brown is capitalized, perhaps it refers to a proper name (e.g., the Brown Corporation which owns the land), but that seems unlikely since Fenn said that it’s hard to skip clues. Despite the capitalization, Brown is probably poetic: the north face of a mountain (where most brown/grizzly bears hibernate) or below a brown trout spawning lake or simply below the treeline (above the treeline is mostly brown). Or all the above!   From there it’s no place for the meek, Break off the trail & start hiking uphill off-trail and perhaps on private property. Joseph Meek spent time in Yellowstone, so perhaps it’s saying that you’re not in Yellowstone. The end is ever drawing nigh; You’re within 200 feet; keep looking to the right side of the creek you’re climbing next to There’ll be no paddle up your creek, Ford the stream which is too shallow for a boat or it’s dry and perplexing situation Just heavy loads and water high. Get your feet wet and cold as you cross the knee-high stream while looking for a cairn or the water is high above you.   If you’ve been wise and found the blaze, The blaze will be either a stack of rocks, a mark on a tree, or anything a bit remarkable. Look quickly down, your quest to cease, Look down and you’ll find the chest hidden under a pile of rocks and/or vegetation But tarry scant with marvel gaze, Don’t linger too long at this marvelous site Just take the chest and go in peace. Haul your ass out of there   So why is it that I must go And leave my trove for all to seek? The answers I already know I’ve done it tired, and now I’m weak.   So hear me all and listen good, Look up the definition of every word in this poem Your effort will be worth the cold. Cold from the altitude and/or cold creek crossing If you are brave and in the wood It’s in the high country among bears and snakes, but below the treeline I give you title to the gold There’s a legal document in the chest that helps you win the impending legal fight  My Ideas of Where the Warm Waters Halt   Someplace mentioned in Flywater or maybe Journal of a Trapper Either in NM or near/in Yellowstone Where warm fishing waters become cold. Where a hot spring merges with a cold stream. The top or bottom of a waterfall Where a warm stream becomes a sink  Warm water ends in a lake or pond. A mountain ridge or pass (which gives access to at least 2 canyons). Where to look This is where I planned to look. I sharing this to see if, after the true location is revealed, I was smart or not. Wyoming Boiling River, which is on the WY border. Hot spring pours into cold water. Where the Madison River meets Firehole Canyon/Falls (blaze). In his book, he mentions Osborne Russell traveling the Madison River in 1835, which is described in Journal of a Trapper. To get there, you could start next to Old Faithful (WWWH) and then follow the canyon down to Red Canyon Creek (blaze canyon) is near and also mentioned in his book. It’s near Sage Mt (“if you’ve been wise”) and Redstreak Peak and Red Mountain whose summits are brown and blazing red. He went down Red Canyon with a horse called Lightning. Horses have a white blaze on their face. This is “not too far, but too far to walk” from the Warm River. Madison River or Hebgen Lake or Stinking Creek In between Richel Lodge and Keyser Brown Lake.  Downstream of the Brown Mountain Campground off of the Wood River Brown Creek and Wood River Firehole Falls Thermopolis (Hot Springs State Park)? Somewhere around Boat Mt, where he and his bro got lost Sinks Canyon (where water “halts” by going underground for a few km) - near Lander Sunlight Basin  Medicine Hot Springs below Trapper Peak in Montana (may lack sagebrush). Under Mount Hayes off of the Madison River (e.g., Barnes Hole Dr.) Nine Mile Hole near Madison Junction 44.663947, -110.965462 parking lot, there is a small trail parallel to the river 44.649735, -110.949696  Watkins Creek A few more ideas Ojo Caliente Spring and nearby Firehole Spring   New Mexico Consider these 8 creeks where “warm waters halt” in NM   As you can see, I did not believe it was in Colorado or far from Yellowstone.

In 2010 an eccentric millionaire art collector went into the wilderness north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. With him he had a chest containing over 2 million dollars of his personal fortune. He hid it somewhere out in nature, and only left one clue for the rest of us: a poem. Since the poem's publishing, thousands of adventurers have flocked to the Rocky Mountain area in search of fame and riches. However, not all have returned. The treasure remains undiscovered to this day, its location unknown.

FORREST FENN'S TREASURE is waiting to be found!  There's a hidden treasure somewhere in the Western Rockies and Forrest Fen is behind it all. This is the story...
