[Hoho for breakfast]

Guy hides a chest with over a million dollars in jewels and coins in the Rocky Mountains over a decade ago and it was apparently just found last week. Amazing stuff. Hopefully he or someone else can do something like this again soon.

Treasure chest hidden with $1.5 million fortune in US wilderness found after more than 10 years

Hundreds of thousands have hunted in vain across remote corners of the US West for the bronze chest.

Here's a stream/podcast from a Youtube channel called Adventures In Dirt from earlier today talking about it all.

Both Buzzfeed Unsolved and Vox have done shows on Fenn's Fortune for those interested. There's also an episode of Expedition Unknown about it.

Always was a cool story. It is a shame people went broke and died for it though. Everything has a price.

Shame Ryan and Shane didn't manage to find it

 

[GAMETA]

That's awesome, I had never heard about it before

 

[ThatStupidLion]

Thats awesome - hope they share what each clue meant. Every few years id revisit it and come up with some idea that always seemed like I was on the right path

Yeah, you can't escape irony - it will have its day so look out.

I'm honestly surprised someone didn't try to just snatch the old boy in a parking lot and make him show them where it was.

He hid the treasure before he was going to die, and people went off into a life of vagrancy and mortal danger to find it?
