Hey there Vibes 
long time no see. How ya been?
Seen this type thing before. Actually have planted valuable treasures before and left clues on a website to the locations. Big problem here is that many of them that were found were never reported so people kept looking for things that were no longer there. He would have been much better off, if indeed he did actually plant the box as described, to have planted something that was redeemable so the finder would have to at least make his find known. This way that information could be shared so people don't end up chasing something that no longer exists. Second issue here is if the box was actually ever planted? Very easy to claim and for the same reasons above it is also very easy to claim that it was evidentially found and never reported when pressed. Not saying he didn’t do it, just saying that I would want more proof other then a book for sale. In this day and age there would have been a hundred ways for him to have documented his treasure and its hiding so he could actually prove it existed. Fact that he apparently didn't do one or more of these things is very suspect.
