About The Treasure Poem Hunt

My Solution to Forrest Fenn's Treasure

Because I don't have the treasure chest in my possession and Forrest Fenn's estate hasn't been settled yet, I can't provide physical proof that I'm the solver. However, I can provide the email that Forrest Fenn sent me on July 22, 2020, that confirms what he said in public on that day: that he and the finder (myself) agreed to say that it (the treasure chest) was found in Wyoming.

Even after more than 5 years, no other searcher has made this claim in public, including Jack Stuef. Based on these facts and that my solution will lead one precisely to where a dark object 10" x 10" x 5" or 6" was located in Wyoming, my solution is the one that will be used to determine who the winner is of this new treasure poem hunt.

This will be an armchair treasure hunt with no need to have boots on the ground. An actual boots-on-the-ground search can cost one hundreds to thousands of dollars depending on travel, food, and lodging expenses that one might incur if it weren't an armchair treasure hunt.

My Discovery Journey

Back in September of 2016, I was broken, and I needed help, so I prayed in earnestness to God for him to show me the way. Within the hour, I first heard of the Forrest Fenn treasure chest hunt, and that started my adventure, which I want to continue for others.

I believe that God provided me with the answers to the nine clues in Forrest Fenn's treasure poem in the way he created me and shaped my life's journey. God has never spoken to me, but I know he answered my prayer.

Future Goals

I would like to start a few charities:

• One that children can metal detect for money and prizes
• One that will help children receive clothing, toys, and food
• One that will help poor immigrants

My goal is to eventually and very possibly build up to a billion-dollar treasure hunt using Forrest Fenn's treasure poem and my solution to it. I want Forrest Fenn and perhaps a major sponsor to have a legacy concerning this new treasure hunt.

Why Trust My Solution?

What sets me apart from all the other searchers who have attempted and failed, and why should you trust me as the genuine solver to the Forrest Fenn treasure poem hunt?

Everything that Forrest Fenn said about the finder/solver aligns precisely and has remained consistent over the years, as well as what Forrest Fenn said about his poem and all the verification he gave to the public:

1. The nine clues to the poem will fit on a post-it note.
2. When searchers receive the clues to the nine clues to the poem, they will ask themselves, why didn't I think of that?
3. Forrest Fenn's poem led the finder to the precise spot.
4. It was found in Wyoming, in the state of Wyoming.
5. I was in communication with Forrest Fenn on July 22, 2020, when I asked him about the finder and for him to help by giving us closure about the ending of the treasure hunt and if I were the finder. He said publicly that today, July 22, 2020, the finder and I agreed to say (declare) that the treasure chest was found in Wyoming.
6. I am a man, and Forrest said that a man found his treasure chest.
7. I'm the Man From Back East, and I can prove it.
8. I'm the Shy Guy that Forrest described the finder as being, and I'm the only searcher who can provide how Forrest Fenn knew that about me.
9. I can explain why Forrest Fenn said that his treasure chest was found on June 6 and why he didn't release the treasure chest photos until June 16, which is my mother's birthday.
10. I can explain the slew of scrapbooks that Forrest posted online in the fall of 2019 and why he was done with the Chase at that time.

I understand the meanings of the Chaos and Embroidery dolls and the significance of why Chaos was standing on a treasure chest with one foot, including what the clomp of a boot means, what "into the teeth of the Rockies" means, etc., that Forrest Fenn spoke about. I know what Forrest meant by the T.S. Eliot quote: "We shall not cease from exploration, and at the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."

Additional Proof

• I have photographic proof that I was the 200-footer on July 7, 2017, and the searcher who gave Forrest his gut feeling that his treasure chest might be found in the summer of 2018.
• I can show a dark object measuring 10" x 10" x 5" or 6" sitting on the ground amidst lush vegetation, under a canopy of stars in Wyoming, BEFORE it was announced by Forrest Fenn that his treasure chest had been found.
• A photo shows the treasure chest (which is the dark object) hidden by Forrest Fenn on the ground at his special spot and seen near my feet.

I've got over a dozen more pieces of evidence, including pictures and when Forrest supported my online comment that punctuation in his poem wasn't as important as one popular YouTube searcher thinks it is.

Under a non-disclosure agreement, I am permitted to provide the partner the answers to all the treasure poem's nine clues as well as to address any questions about me, the solver/finder.
