It's been all over the news, and I imagine it's like woodstock in that area for the forseeable future.

If you type in fenn at the search window on the home page you'll get a lot of posts. I was surprised the national news picked up the story. For awhile I figured he would make his money back selling the books. Fortunately New Mexico is a long way from everywhere.
By the looks of his home I think he has bucks.

I live in Albuquerque and have already met a few people who came down here to search for this treasure. I know the area quite well and am going to go do my own searching next weekend. The Poem is pretty easy to interpret if you know the area, hopefully we're right!

Jemeze Hot springs is most likely the area you want to be in..but remember this he said he did not bury it, but he hid it..in plain sight with a slight edge..I believe it is camoflaged like the surrounding area..,in plain view..but you cant see it:)

Terry, what do you mean "in plain sight with a slight edge"?

Best place to hid something - "In Plain Sight"

The slight edge would be the camouflage ..not just setting on the side of the road..Im sure it was meant to blend in with the surrounding areas..That way one could drive right up to it and never get out, see if it has been disturbed..

The problem lies in the location..or X marks the spot..find that and you could be very rich:)

I been working on his poem for awhile now..some things I have learned....the peom tells you vaguely how to find the "treasure", and it also gives you the starting point, not just one..many! Whom ever put this poem together tried to make it simple looking but it is far from that..it was well thought out, perhaps revised manys time to end up the way it is now..Keep in mind when you look at it "think out of the box"

I hope to go there this or next year & check out my "theories".

A fellow, Forrest Fenn sez he hid a treasure with gold and jewels, weighing 42 pounds in a bronze box, he lives in Santa Fe New Mexico. Anyone heard of this? Do you live in Santa Fe?

Er, I heard about it almost three years ago. I've talked with Mr. Fenn a few times.

Er.... the poem does not give multiple locations regarding where to look. It is in three parts: where to start, how to get to the hiding place, and then what to look for.

I am new to this so I hope this works. Here is a complete break down and analysis of Fenn's poem. captpappy | A great WordPress.com site It is a page or two long so to much to put here. If hunters use this as a map it will lead to the obvious hiding place, that being a cottonwood tree with a hollow at the base of the truck. Check it out and tell me what you think.
