Has the gold been found or is it still there?
I honestly don’t believe there is a “chest.” I could say I hid eleventy gabillion dollars worth of platinum somewhere too. Guy died for nothing.
Forest Fenn needs to stop selling this legend. Too many hopeless, desperate middle-aged men think this is their last chance to get rich and live the good life.
Forest obviously has a gift for storytelling. Maybe he should write historical fiction. One of these days, one of those bereaved widows may want to pay him an ‘unannounced visit’ at his private, secluded residence. That is what I see coming for Mr. Fenn. He seems to enjoy playing the Pied Piper.
Murphy is the fourth man to die while searching for the chest.
And according to legend, a 5th must die before the treasure can be found.
The irony is that compared to past generations of people in their prime earning years, many young people of today are not big collectors of historic artifacts at all. They are not likely to pay very much for the purchase, display and storage such things. In the past, almost every family home had a China Cabinet. Not as common today.

>>Linda Bilyeu, whose former husband died searching for the treasure in January 2016, told NBC News that the hunt was “ludicrous” and “should be stopped.”<<
It’s not that easy, nor is it desirable, to nullify Darwin.
It's hard to believe that one park has attracted so many weirdos and bizarre unimaginable deaths. If there is a horrible way to die, Yellowstone has it.
Note to self:
Never step into a chute.
When I was about 12 years old, I read in Parade Magazine about gold loot from a stagecoach robbery in Idaho. The loot was supposedly hidden in the Cassia City of Rocks. I wrote to the author of the article and he sent me some additional information which I really thought was cool.
That summer, we took our bi-annual driving trip to Idaho to visit grandparents and my aunt & uncle. I tried to convince Dad that we should detour through the City of Rocks on our way, but to my everlasting dismay, he declined.
I could have been rich!

I'm still looking for that Canadian Club treasure they hid in 1970. ;') Thanks BenLurkin.
I think he hid it in The Lost Dutchman’s mine...
