About Fenn treasure in brief
The Fenn Treasure was a cache of gold and jewels that Forrest Fenn, an art dealer and author from Santa Fe, New Mexico, hid in the Rocky Mountains of the United States. It was found approximately a decade later in 2020, in Wyoming. In 1988, Fenn was diagnosed with cancer and given a prognosis that it was likely terminal. This inspired him to hide a treasure chest in an outdoor location with the purpose of creating a public search for it. The treasure chest was said to be a bronze box estimated to have been forged in the 12th century. The chest features scenes and reliefs with knights scaling walls on ladders and maidens above throwing flowers down upon them.
Fenn claimed to make no money on the sale of the self-published books out of concern for being labeled a fraud by critics. Five people have died while searching for the treasure. In 2017, the chief of the New Mexico State Police, Pete Kassetas, publicly implored Fenn to end the treasure hunt, stating \”He’s putting lives at risk.\” Fenn died on September 7, 2020 at the age of 90. The finder stated in passing that two small items indicated in pre-find publicity were not present in the chest, a small gold frog on a necklace and a Spanish emerald found at San Lazaro.
