Morlock 1,177 Posted June 19 It is sad in a way. Remember the old adage ."even a blind squirrel can find a nut"? My guess is someone that wasn't even looking for the treasure will stumble onto it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't be surprised if someone found it and is keeping quiet about it. I know Fenn offered to buy something of sentimental value back, but I think there's a good possibility someone found this treasure and is selling it a piece at a time, keeping quiet, to avoid being "lottery famous," and perhaps even to avoid paying taxes. If not Fenn's treasure being found in that way, I would think many others would be cashed in on the down low. I just don't think Fenn was in a position to place the treasure to terribly far off the beaten path and would have been found. Personally, I have decided that the treasure is in Idaho. I may even use it as an excuse to get up to Idaho someday. Probably won't do a lot of treasure hunting, maybe fishing though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeoJack 681 Posted June 19 I would think if found, the price would be more if associated with the treasure. I fell into this hook line and sinker. Best time of my life heading out on a treasure hunt. Had a blast, met new people and places. Also found what I believe to be a place that matched all the clues but no gold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
