I am almost umbilically attached to the spot, and as I approach 89 years my desire to be there is still strong. Could strangers do that to the place where the chest rests, or do you feel your special spot will always be secure in solitude?

This is the seventh Six Questions with Forrest Fenn I’ve had the honor of doing.

The search for Fenn’s treasure has been an arduous process for some, with a few people perishing in their attempts to find it. Look for more information and photos in the coming days. I congratulate the thousands of people who participated in the search and hope they will continue to be drawn by the promise of other discoveries. I do not know the person who found it, but the poem in my book led him to the precise spot. On Fenn’s website, he provided more information: Fenn confirmed the news to the Santa Fe-based news station KRQE News 13 via his grandson. Ten years later, Fenn’s treasure has been found. He self-published a memoir, The Thrill of the Chase, which contained a poem offering clues as to the treasure’s whereabouts.

In (or around) 2010, Fenn buried 42 pounds of treasure - likely worth over a million dollars - at a site somewhere in (or near) the Rockies.

A 2015 article in The California Sunday Magazine described Fenn as “a swashbuckling former fighter pilot who hustled his way into a lucrative business selling art to the stars out of his lavish Santa Fe gallery.”Īfter a brush with death, Fenn became obsessed with the idea of leaving a large amount of treasure behind, along with clues for seekers to find it.

In the case of Forrest Fenn’s The Thrill of the Chase, however, truth is genuinely stranger than fiction. A reclusive author who published a book offering clues to treasure he himself buried sounds like the kind of thing that could power a best-selling thriller.
