      yes.. as soon as the story came to an end having watched Fenn's last interview, I thought, the treasure was somewhere close in proximity and to his heart. It was hidden in plain sight, not too far off a beaten path, a road less traveled .. someplace near and dear to him. Time and chance happens to us all. The poem has a Biblical ring to it, in my opinion. My heart is heavy for the loved ones who are mourning.. no words can alleviate their pain.

      She had known Finn a while before that hike most likely by visiting his famous Museum with so much indigenous artifacts that. (Tho, I'm sure he pilfered most of it, people thought it & the FBI checked). She's possibly at least part Native American and the location of that museum was in the heart some tribes so she really wasn't bad at all because she either felt like she was represented in that or the museum that Finn owned and a lot of people loved. It's not disliked by as many people that you assumed might be🤷🏻‍♀️

    Fenn didn’t make these people go look for the treasure! Fenn didn’t make them do risky chances during their search.
    He buried a treasure for people to have fun with and try and figure the poem out and get out in nature and look for the treasure. It sounds like some of the people went out and took risky chances searching for the treasure. Just because these people let their greed take over them using common sense while searching for the treasure. Sounds like these people over extended their abilities to get this treasure. Thats on them, not the person who hid the treasure and made a poem to tell its location. It’s the same as if someone opened of a zoo and let people visit their zoo, and someone leaned to far over the railing of the lion exhibit trying to get a picture or the best picture of a lion and they fell in the enclosure and a lion does what a lion is supposed to as an epex predator and eats the person who fell in. Is it the zoo’s fault that person let common sense out of the equation and leaned too far into the lion enclosure and fell in and was killed

      We have some photos and his words only and have he ever told how much it is worth ?
      If it’s even possible to find after so many years ?
      Remember the lady who been out there for many, many YEARS and spent over 65.000 dollars and didn’t find it ???
      Someone should check out if the “golden treasure” is real and if it’s still there !!!
      Fenn should take someone trustworthy a lawyer or something like that and then go and check for himself !
      Maybe the treasure” isn’t in the desert ?
      Until some of the questions are answered they SHOULD put this adventure on hold !
      Bc it’s dangerous.

    I worked in Wyoming during 2017 and participated in the treasure hunt for fun. There were a number of times where I could’ve made life-ending choices (crossing a high river, hiking without trails and encountering all types of wildlife) but I didn’t. I was prepared for the outdoors and made smart choices. I fully support Forrest’s decision to keep the hunt going on, and I believe people should not go outside for intensive expeditions without being prepared for it.
    Even at the time we heard about the people passing away and felt sorry for them, but still continued to prepare ourselves for anything we might have encountered while wandering in rugged terrain without cell phone service.

    Totally cool thing for Fenn to have done! Love it! For those who sadly lost their lives in pursuit of the treasure, they were adults who either knew the risks or under estimated the risks. Any person going on an adventure in the mountains, whether for a few hours or for days, whether in pursuit of buried treasure or peace and quiet, whether to prove something or experience a physical challenge, MUST be accountable to themselves! One must understand the terrain, go when its seasonally appropriate, go when the weather is forecast to be manageable, have some basic survival skills in their toolkit, be fit for the challenge of the ground & waterways they will encounter, and bring what might be needed should something unexpected occur. Americans used to be pioneers! We used to risk our lives for our dreams! Many of us died in pursuit of those dreams! God may have had issues w/ Fenn, but the treasure hunt and people dying in pursuit of finding the chest of gold was most certainly not one of them!

      Mel Fisher spent 17 years looking for a 400-year-old sunken treasure. He sold his California business and moved to Florida. For years, he found nothing, and was called by skeptics as madman, conman and joker, but when he found the sunken ship, its gold and silver coins yielded $500+ million. People who invested in him said, Mel Fisher’s perseverance is as precious as pure gold.

    Finn told people clearly that the treasure was somewhere an 89 yr old man could easily walk to. Those who died used poor judgement by venturing into risky areas (some even alone) and some in risky weather conditions, places Finn had already said the treasure would not be found. The greed or idiocracy of those people led to their demise. I'm glad that the treasure was real or at least so it seems. Also, Finn didn't invent the idea of treasure hunting. Humans have engaged in that for probably thousands of years and hundreds or thousands have died in that pursuit, like in the gold rush era. Treasure hunting is always an 'enter at your own risk' activity, just like mountain climbing, skydiving, car racing, and many other activities which no one would consider banning for safety reasons. People have the right to risk their own safety. It's called freedom.

That's how a 70 or 80 year old man would hide it. Using a snowmobile and risking his life, that should it break down, he would not make it back. Very common with old men, to ride a snowmobile alone into remote wilderness places..... geez.

    The guy who was surprised that things in the wilderness are much larger than they appear on the map says all you need to know whose fault it was if something bad happens. I don't think people realize how dangerous and unforgiving the wilderness is - you are always one small foot injury away from death if you are not prepared for plan B, C, D and F. Mr. Fenn came up with interesting and fun idea. It was not his fault some people went into it driven by ego and greed.

    I dont blame Fenn for any of the treasure hunting deaths. Even if the treasure hunt ended, the treasure poem was still out there, and people were going to attempt to find it regardless. The end of the video even says that people are still out there trying to find the location, even though its already been found. Adults made the decision with their own free will to hike and hunt through dangerous terrain in the hopes of finding hidden treasure. That Barbara Anderson lady getting soo mad that someone else found the treasure that she sued to make Fenn's family reveal the identify of the person who found the treasure is insane.

      ​@user-fu2tj9cb3kGod, give me strength. No, Fenn did NOT have a duty of care as to how these participants freely and willingly engaged in the treasure hunt. Your mindset is the very reason why, for example, manufacturers of microwaves have to print a warning label of "PLEASE DO NOT MICROWAVE YOUR BABY OR YOUR PET". People need to learn accountability and responsibility for their own actions, and use their noggin for something other than a hat racket!

    People have this drive to demand justice when a loved one dies an unnatural and unexpected death. These people made choices that led to their demise. Will Fenn be judged by God for this? It's none of my business. We will all be judged. We will be judged by the same measure of judgment with which we judge others. That scares me enough to let God be God.

      This is the 2nd National Treasure Hunt in America: Ggl "Treasure of the
      Golden Horse". About 20 yrs. ago a little Statue was buried, and you had
      to buy a small book that described its' location. Many people hunted for
      that 1 too! Did RU ever have a National Tr. Hunt, or just Scavenger Hunts??

      Look at the comments here-- no one is blaming Fenn. We all have common sense. And viewers of this channel come from all backgrounds and political affiliations. Blaming Fenn is just what the families and friends of the people who died do in order to avoid blaming their loved one for going in ill-prepared, or having no one to blame, and admitting that people die by accident sometimes.

    The outstanding thought to me is: where is the proof the treasure actually exists? Are we taking this man’s word for it exclusively? Is it worth lives, money, or even time without a guarantee? After Madoff, and Sam Bankman-Fried nothing should be believed without a thoroughly detailed proof.
