So far, nobody has found it yet! If I had the time and money and a few good puzzle solvers, I would love to try to find this!!!! 😀

The Poem
This poem written by Forrest Fenn contains nine clues that if followed precisely, will lead to the end of his rainbow and the treasure. Happy Hunting!
As I have gone alone in there
And with my treasures bold,
I can keep my secret where,
And hint of riches new and old.
Begin it where warm waters halt
And take it in the canyon down,
Not far, but too far to walk.
Put in below the home of Brown.
From there it’s no place for the meek,
The end is ever drawing nigh;
There’ll be no paddle up your creek,
Just heavy loads and water high.
If you’ve been wise and found the blaze,
Look quickly down, your quest to cease,
But tarry scant with marvel gaze,
Just take the chest and go in peace.
So why is it that I must go
And leave my trove for all to seek?
The answer I already know,
I’ve done it tired, and now I’m weak.
So hear me all and listen good,
Your effort will be worth the cold.
If you are brave and in the wood
I give you title to the gold.
I saw this and did some research. There are several blogs about the thoughts on the clues. I posted this in the thread stealers, I am going to Phoenix on Sunday for a week. If you get a solve, I will search and split it with the solver. :LOL:
A new clue was reveled this morning on The Today Show.
And the Chase has it’s own facebook page as well:

There have been several books published with real treasures to find through out the years…I first heard of one some 30ish years ago.
“a Treasures Trove” is one book with a real hidden treasure published in 2004.
