More than a year after one of the most storied treasures in recent history was found in Wyoming, a group of disgruntled hunters are still not satisfied with the “solve.”

He described a treasure chest that he said contained gold nuggets, rare coins, jewelry, and gemstones.

The treasure chest was said to be a bronze box estimated to have been forged in the 12th century. The chest features a bronze construction with a wood liner and locking front clasp. According to Fenn, it weighs about 22 pounds and its dimensions are 10 by 10 by 5 inches. The chest features scenes and reliefs with knights scaling walls on ladders and maidens above throwing flowers down upon them.
