We all know Forrest has said he knows searchers have been within 200 feet of the treasure........ Forrest doesn't know about every single person walking around in the woods... Knowing Forrest parked his car, took two trips to hide the treasure, and did it in one afternoon, it's very possible people unknown to Forrest have been near the Treasure..... But we also know..... "Nobody is going to accidentally stumble on that treasure chest. They’re going to have to figure out the clues and let the clues take them that spot."Quote from: www.koat.com/article/new-mexico-man-gives-update-on-hidden-treasure-chest/5063636So it must be hidden very well...... and it seems only the correct Blaze will identify that location..... and this we know can only be found by following the clues..... Agree? |

Agreed
That's all fact.
Thanks Jenny.

I agree with your assertions Jenny, but not Forrest's.
I can't concieve of any location and method of hiding whereby he could say for certain that no-one would find it accidentally...actually he didn't say that did he? He said no-one would stumble on it, perhaps being literal this means it is just not resting on the ground?

Thanks guys.... Yes, in the first Six Questions he did say 'accidental'....: 5Q) From receiving feedback on hunter’s ideas and methods about how to discover the location of the chest, do you feel confident your method in hiding the chest will eventually be understood and the chest be found? Please know, I am not asking for any specifics. My question is more like, do you still feel your poem will lead someone to the treasure?
A)The person who finds the treasure will have studied the poem over and over, and thought, and analyzed and moved with confidence. Nothing about it will be accidental. Link: mysteriouswritings.com/six-questions-with-forrest-fenn-author-of-the-thrill-of-the-chase/ |

I believe it won't be accidental because the clues lead to a definitive point where we diverge from the poem. We either hear, read, touch, taste, or see the word as the treasure's new place. "Indulgence" or "ending clue" as my anagrams tell me. How interesting he used "indulgence" as the new name of the treasure. And the word "flutterby" early, for no obvious literary reason. MY anagrams tell me Wyoming holds the treasure, it's near Cody, theres a cemetery involved, and you really need to understand "go left". My solve, it fits directly to the poem, hits several Fenn add-ons", there are no left over letters or weird phrases that don't enhance the solve... except the the word 'whore'. Maybe should be a new thread, but does anyone agree Fenn might use that word in a solve?

It could be, I considered similar words like hored (hoard). What part of the poem are you looking at?
,,,,,,,,,,
If the treasure is buried, it wouldnt be accidentally stumbled upon? Or, forest may have been indicating that the chances of accidentally finding the treasure or so remote has to be non-existent in a practical sense. In an interview for the puzzle fandango, the authors said that it would be possible for someone to accidentally find the key but not likely was is the inference.

The second stanza is where I find a reference to whore. But that stanza alone gives me 3 of my 9 clues, which also fits with one of Fenn's interview answers. The treasure could also be very high up, so as not to be 'stumbled upon'. But I think he just means happened upon. |

As mentioned, these facts suggest the chest is 'hidden' very well..... and for myself, most likely 'buried' (according to some definitions) in some way. We know it is not in the sun, but the location is, so the chest must be 'covered'.
Are the legal ramifications, along with the common concept of what buried immplies, the only reasons why Forrest won't say 'buried'....? Or are there other reasons we aren't thinking about?
