If you are looking for fun in the summer, why not drag the wife and kids away from their devices and wander through the Rocky Mountains looking for the Forrest Fenn Treasure.
Self made millionaire and art dealer Forrest Fenn says he's hidden a treasure chest somewhere in the Rocky Mountains North of Santa Fe and invites everyone to look for it.
Forrest has written a book called 'The Thrill of the Chase'. The book is a memoir that contains subtle hints that will help solve the poem in the back of the book. More clues were disclosed on the Today Show. He also wrote a second book 'Too Far to Walk', that is said to contain another clue / map.
The Forrest Fenn treasure chest is said to be full of gold, jewelry and ancient artifacts
The treasure chest dates to about 1150 AD. It measures 10x10x6, weighs 42 pounds (including its contents), and is constructed of ancient bronze.
What's in the box?
Gold nuggets (hundreds, some as large as a chicken egg)
265 gold coins (mostly American eagles and double eagles)
Rare coins
Pre-Columbian gold animal figures
Jewelry (including a Spanish 17th century gold-and-emerald ring and a bracelet with turquoise beads excavated in 1898 from Mesa Verde which Fenn says he would like back if the treasure is found while he is still alive)
Gemstones – hundreds of rubies, diamonds, emeralds, and two Ceylon sapphires
