How cool! Finally found it.
Cue cartoons with the big X in the middle of somewhere.
I ain’t buying it. I believe he was legally pressured to make a statement because so many people were hurting themselves and trespassing.
Rick and Marty, it’s your turn!
So, what was the actual treasure and if worth millions. why did this author not keep it for himself?
I recall hearing about this maybe five years ago.
Some fellow had lost his life in pursuit of this treasure.
Maybe it was a box full of gold bullion, doubloons and krugerrand. Oh, and an unopened bottle of champagne.
It was under the big dubya!
Who knew Rocky mountain oysters produced pearls?
The story of the guy who found it is going to be more interesting than the original memoir.
I once had a girlfriend who had her own treasure chest. Finding it wasn’t hard. Cashing in was. /sarc
Likely “found” by his kids.
Treasure chest contents: “IOU $3 million”
Looked at this once. On the surface, the clues seemed far too vague given the size of the area he had limited it to (forget the boundaries, but it was a huge area of land in the rock mountain region), but obviously there was something in there that led this person to find it. Very cool.
