Reyginus:
Please show me.

Bring ur plasma!

Reyginus:
(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)

He carried his treasure to the location he intends to hide it. He then tasks us indirectly to be more observant at this stage. He gives the clue.

(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)

The temperature of water changes when it leaves the ordinary environment. In sea waters, the temperature is reduced due to the salinity. I think he is talking about a particular waterfall in an ocean. I don't really know where Fenn's from but the fourth line here speaks about the location( nature of the trees, a state practising racism, or Rhodes Island). I think I will have to go with Rhodes Island. It fits so far. It is not far, but too far to walk because it is difficult to swim in such a water. The next stanza tells why.

(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)

The currents in this particular terrain need a rugged sailor to overcome. The water in this place experience the highest turbulence, if I can use the word. We narrow our search for such a water with highest current on the left.

(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).

At this point if you are on the right track you must have seen some signs as you look down. The problem is how you even identify what part of Rhodes he is about. Is it even Rhodes Island in the first place? Is the transition from warm water mainly a transition of the hearts of people from intolerance to tolerance in another region? Is he talking about brownian motion, as in, the degree of the movements of particles in the region. Is he making reference to where John Brown, the abolishonist was hanged? Or the Atlantic Ocean aroun?

Back to stanza. It still lays emphasise on the power of the current. The line 'but tarry scant with marvel gaze' reminds you to move quick without much celebration. Emphasizing on the flow of the current.

(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)

Cancer made him weak. He is tired. He has been on treasure hunting all this life. But this is a metaphoric expression. Life itself challenges us to seek the apex. The treasure.

(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)

This is a re-emphasise on stanza three and four. The wood signifies the same boldness he is been all about. Where it doesn't, our location changes.

In summary, I think the location is what we need know first. We can try out the two locations. The answer to that lies in stanza two. Once you solve that stanza you have your compass.

In other words, I don't know where. Lol.

The location is somewhere in New Mexico where he lives. Check the hints given at the first page of this thread for more info u seek.

timpaker:
As you type, I am currently heading to the true spot for the treasure. Don't worry, I won't be greedy, you'll get a fair share when I return. Just wish me luck.

Am already wishing u luck.....

timpaker:
I think gonna take the next flight to America.... I think I know where the treasure is...... Who's coming with me? your job is to take photograph of me lifting the treasure. Hhehehehheh

How abt we make it an ultimate search grand finale and see who will get the treasure first?

JigsawKillah:
are you asking me?
I still remember who owns this idea tho

And I never forget why am sharing the fortunes with my loos.

Royver:
Its a waterfall.
Its a place close to his house. He went there alone which means its an easy climb even for an 80yr old, but he buried it in a precarious place with a good view. A ledge. Or a big piece of rock. A place where the warm waters from the water fall/halt on the rock. The treasure will be found under a huge boulder that is just below a water fall. Standing on that boulder will give a beautiful view but it is also a dangerous place to be.
The location of the treasure is not far from his home in new mexico, they should look at the town history for the name of a piece of land with a waterfall owned by the "Browns".


solved. next.

p.s. don't look for the blogs where the riddle is being investigated. those white folk are confusing themselves.

Shall we now go to New Mexico?

This will be a great search for everyone. For uur information, millions of people are in the hunt for the hidden treasure too to the exten that Forrest Fenn Website crashed today because of the traffic.

Let's do it.


.....continued hints from my post above!
Caution! There are plenty of speculators,
naysayers and misinformed individuals out there including reporters and journalists who have added inaccuracy and conjecture to the trove of hints and clues floating around out in the ether. This is inevitible. As the story is passed from person to person it begins to grow and be embellished and before you know it the facts are hard to find. In truth, what Forrest has said over and over is that only the poem and what he has written in the book contain honest hints and
clues that will lead to the treasure…ignore the words that others have put in his mouth. I learned this the hard way.

More caution! Forrest himself is a master of the double entendre. He chooses his words very deliberately. More than once I have run off suffering from the belief that I had brilliant new information about where the gold is hidden… In fact, I did not pay close enough attention to the precision of his words. He specializes in letting you believe something he never said. (I told you
he is clever).

Another place to look for clues. One other source of reliable information is Forrest’s blog which is on his Old Sante Fe Trading Company website. He occasionally writes about the hidden treasure and in his writings you might just find the puzzle piece you were looking for that will lead you to the treasure. Anyone interested in the treasure should read his website from front to back. Not only will it give you a pretty good picture of just who Forrest is and why he is legend but his real-life stories are entertaining and witty.

What is This thread About? This thread is for
and about those adventurous individuals
searching for Forrest Fenn’s hidden treasure.
I am hoping we can share our adventures
and ideas because, as Forrest has pointed
out, the thrill is in the chase (not in the
capture). But first a little background for
those who are not yet familiar with Forrest’s
hidden treasure.

Who is Forrest Fenn? In a nutshell, Forrest Fenn lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico where he started an art gallery, raised a family, collects artifacts, writes books and made a fortune. He has hidden aproximately a million dollars of his fortune in gold and gems in an old world, bronze chest pictured to the left (he paid $25K for the chest alone).

The whole shebang is said to weigh about 42lbs and much of the gold is collector’s gold, meaning that its worth much more than the face value of gold alone because of its historical importance. For instance, an ancient Aztec golden amulet is worth much more than the current value of its weight in gold because it is unique, unusual, sought after, special, etc.

That’s crazy! Maybe…Forrest is not a traditional thinker tied to conventional ways of getting things done. If he were, his life would be dull, commonplace, mundane, boring. Instead, his life has been anything but humdrum. He has made his fortune and his reputation by thinking, creating and trading well beyond the bell curve. The hidden treasure is another way for Forrest
to enjoy life. In my humble opinion he looks forward to capable individuals out there trying to out-think him and locate his treasure. Its a contest for him. Forrest versus the rest of the world and the winner gets to keep a million dollars. To meet Forrest is to stand in the presence of a very smart, competent and competitive fellow. Someone will most certainly find his treasure chest…why not you?…or preferably me?

Who can go after his treasure? Anyone
and everyone is invited to go out and look for Forrest’s treasure chest. Even his family because no one knows where its hidden except him. When you find it, Forrest says that “its yours to keep”. How’s that for a “shovel ready” program that will put folks back to work?

Where do I start looking? There are three or possibly four essential items that will help you find where the treasure chest is hidden. Forrest wrote a poem which contains nine clues and is supposed to lead us directly to the treasure. He has published the poem on his website and it has appeared in a number of news stories about
the hidden treasure. You can find his poem at the top of this page, dats d poem posted by Jigs. Forrest also wrote a memoir, The Thrill of the Chase, which is a beautiful hard cover book with plenty of pictures and lots of possible additional hints to where the treasure chest is hidden. It’s available for $35 through Collected Works Bookstore in Santa Fe, New Mexico. There are also additional hints and clues Forrest has handed out since the hunt
began back in 2010. Finally, we have been able to get additional information via email exchanges between Forrest and many who have been searching and taken the time to write him. I hope this thread will become a source of information about the treasure and where you can begin your search.
