skeptikals

If all you people are such skeptics why you here? Maybe you just come to boost your ego by putting someone else down! Shouldn't you be in the metal detector section looking at old coins telling people that their wheaties are crap and you have better finds on your worst day. In other words, if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.

Glasya

thank you glasya for the word ''EGO'', you hit the nail on the head. the skeptikals are so hung up on themselves it is Impossible for them to help anyone.:laughing7: maybe in that great scientific pie in the sky that is so sure to come for them, maybe, just maybe then, they can live happily ever after.:laughing7::laughing7::laughing7::laughing7::laughing7::laughing7::laughing7::laughing7::laughing7::laughing7::laughing7::laughing7:

Day 8 of search in rockies, the pain and cold and beauty are real. Forrest comes from a whole different breed of cat - men are men from that era no skeptic here,
the search continues. No grizzlies, only 1 black bear 2 cubs, 1 moose, numerous buffalo with babies, numerous elk and antelope.

The very first thing a dowser should do is ask, with the pendulum;

"Does Forrest Fenn's hidden treasure test really exist?"

A no answer will save a wild goose chase.

Forrest Fenn's treasure chest full of gold and precious jewels is still in his possession. Whether in his house or somewhere else, you will never find it. His book and his story has brought in thousands of dollars of revenue both for him and the state of New Mexico. That in itself is the legacy that he wanted to leave behind. Someone finding his treasure chest.... That aint ****... But having a million people search for it.. People will always remember that... Just like the story of DB Cooper who cares about the money... The story is always the legacy...

Terry, Post 19,

SO just wondering--why if you purchased the book --why you did not spend the time breaking the code of the postage stamps
found through out the book. Since the poem did not give you clues, nor the postage stamps, why not go fishing for trout?

First of all, I don't have the book...never read any part of it. I do not ask people to send me Forrest Fenn maps and hoped nobody would because of the risks people are taking (sometimes fatal).

Putting all of this aside, if the man with the circle 13 can be a map, I believe I've got the map. It caught my attention immediately.

Gentlemen,

I do not believe Forest Fenn makes a penny off the sale of his book--it all goes to charity
So far as I know Forest Fenn has not handled the numerous reprints of his book--nor any of the
money from the sale of the books--it is all handled by a third party--and all the profits go to charity.

If I understand things correctly--Forest Fenn has said to locate his treasure--you have to start at the beginning!
I have been told--and I believe this to be correct--The treasure is located not less that 5.82 miles North of Santa Fe.
So do not look--anywhere south of Santa Fe.

My personal opinion is the treasure is real--and it is located North of Santa Fe. Well that advise and $ 1.25 will get you
a cup of coffee.

Just curious if any of the dowsers on here have attempted to dowse for Forrest Fenn's treasure chest and or contents? I am not a dowser, but I thought since the contents and the bronze chest are well known, that would make map dowsing it easier. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Tanelorn

Yes it would make a good treasure to Dowse. 20.2 Troy pounds of Gold, Rubies, Emeralds, Diamonds. Not sure how far 20 lbs of gold signals, maybe 5 miles. Montana or Wyoming ?

If I was to Dowse for Forest Finn Treasure, my primary signal Element, would be Gold, because the 20 hidden lbs., would create the furthest/longest signal line. 20 lbs Gold can signal 5 miles, when Rubies, Safires, Emeralds and Diamonds, don't have enough Element to signal as far, on their own. But, because they are combined in a box, all Elements will Ride the wave/Piggyback the Gold signal. The gem signals can be dowsed in the Gold line, just as far as the Gold.
Low grade Gems work well for signals, and sandpaper made of the Gem, can be folded into a bigger more area signal.
Confirmation of contents can be dowsed from great distance. Meteorites carry some o the same Elements in the box. Use Elements that are not in the box, to eliminate Meteorites. Use Nickel, Ytterium, Copper, Aluminum, Iron, Platinum, ect. If they all signal, it's a Meteorite, not the Finn Treasure. Dowser
