Found!
quote:
The search for treasure might be over, but the fight sure isn’t.

Forrest Fenn, an 89-year-old Santa Fe author and artifacts dealer, said his treasure chest hidden in the Rocky Mountains in 2010 was found last week.

“It’s true,” Fenn told The New Mexican in a phone call Sunday, adding that the finder of his chest located the valuable goods “a few days ago.”

Fenn wouldn’t say where the treasure was found or who found it.

“The guy who found it does not want his name mentioned. He’s from back East,” he said, adding that it was confirmed from a photograph the man sent him.

Fenn declined to produce the photograph Sunday.

An estimated 350,000 people have hunted for Fenn’s treasure. Some quit their jobs to do so. But it’s had deadly consequences. At least five people have died while searching for the chest.

Think about how many millions of man days of effort were spent simply transferring a few million dollars of wealth between two people.

Hope they enjoyed it.

Oh - and I wrote that before I realized there were a handful of deaths involved.

The deaths were the first thing that came to mind for me....I wondered how Fenn felt about those...

A. Fenn's point was to get people out hiking in the Rockies.

B. I'm not inclined to tag him with specific deaths. Many people die in the mountains every year. I read the specific death cases associated with this and the accounts mostly sounded like nice backfill made to dissociate the victim from their own choices and to tie the outcome loosely to Mr. Fenn even if the victim was in the mountains for lots of other reasons.

And do we have any real evidence that the treasure actually was found? And found now instead of a year ago?

Hah. As I read the article in the Santa Fe New Mexican, I see very little real information.

Lot's of titillating stuff about lawsuits, of course.
