Opis

This book is an account of the author's research into five famous lost or hidden treasures. However, the book features the one treasure story among them that has not proved to be a myth, the Forrest Fenn hidden treasure story. In 2010, a retired millionaire art dealer named Forrest Fenn published his memoir, The Thrill of the Chase, which included a twenty-four line poem that he claimed contained nine clues, which if diciphered and followed exactly, would lead to his hidden treasure, a bronze chest filled with gold coins, nuggets, and gems, said to be worth about $3 million. Fenn estimates that as many as 30,000 people have actively searched for his treasure, without success. This might be understandable since Fenn reveals only that the treasure is hidden somewhere in the vastness of the Rocky Mountains. This book contains an account of the author's diligent effort to make sense of Fenn's clues. He doubts that the clues can be solved through any kind of logical approach, but he thinks he may have found a few important keys to solving them through a number of speculations; using a whole lot of imagination; and what he calls "leaps of faith." Has he suceeded? Before that question can be answered, he admits it might take a "ground operation" in a wild but accessible location in northern New Mexico, plus an ability by the "seeker" to find Fenn's "blazes" along the trail that might lead to the treasure. But the author is so enthralled by his conclusions and prospects for success that he is tempted to join the chase, even though he is a heart patient and of an advanced age. He thinks he can guarantee that anyone following his directions will "enjoy the chase." Additionally, this book includes the author's research results on four other famous treasures stories--the Steamboat Gila robbery-Crescent Springs treasure story, of southern Nevada; the story of the Denver Mint missing dimes, supposedly lost in Colorado's Black Canyon; the story of the missing gold shipment up on the Little Big Horn River at the exact same time as "Custer's Last Stand;" and the story of the missing treasure of Maximilian, the last emperor of Mexico, reportedly buried in Texas at a place called Castle Gap.These stories have been extensively researched by the author and any "treasure hunter," active or "arm chair" should enjoy following his research efforts. The author also includes some of his experiences in pursuing "treasures" including artifact hunting with his metal detector on Palmetto Hill, down where the Rio Grande empties into the Gulf, the site of the last battle of the Civil War. And to prove that not all treasure stories are myths, he tells of the lost treasures of Bernarr Macfadden, a millionaire publisher who died in 1955. Macfadden had a pathological distrust of banks and was known to bury his money in metal ammunition boxes on or about his many properties. One such box was dug up by a bulldozer a number of years back, containing $200,000, but nobody knows how many of those boxes are still waiting for a persistent metal detectorist, who will do the necessary research to find them. So this book is for "treasure hunters," active or armchair, and especially for those who plan or e
