Thanks. There was a FR thread awhile ago about a guy that loved to explore and would buy antiques and stuff. He might have done some treasure hunting as well. He is rich now. To promote people getting off their butts and go exploring he buried a bunch of his valuable stuff. Then put up a poem/riddle as clues to get you to his buried treasure. I spent a couple of evenings on google, google earth, etc.

I’m pretty sure I know where it is - now just need to make the trip. (It’s “near a house named brown” - so that MUST mean the famous creek with brown trout in it. Right!?”

Found the link:

You probably know better than me what stream contains brown trout. A search of Google map may help you narrow it down as to the general location. It would be awesome to find it.
