Does the poem line with 'listen good' hint that we are to hear a sound at the treasure's location or for something that might lead us there?
From the following, we know Forrest likes to engage different senses.....
Forrest has shared:
Sagebrush has a nice aroma that lasts a long time if you take a cutting home and let it dry. I used to put twigs in letters to clients hoping the smell will remind them, and lure them back to my art gallery.

Are we to use our sense of hearing in some way?

Bells perhaps. They make frequent appearances it seems. They were also used to call people together in towns to hear a message - listen all and listen good. Don't ask for whom the bell tolls, the bell tolls for thee. The girl (perhaps a belle) in the bookstore walking away "tossing her thick braids back and forth like they had purpose." A bell "peels", like a banana.
I am going with the sound of a bell. Cast in bronze and cold to the touch ever drawing neigh bell.
(Insert mic drop)

In cryptic style puzzles the words hear and listen usually indicate a homophone in the phrase/sentence/stanza. Some examples and other ideas:
So -sew = stitch, fix, hem=use last letter only of a word?
listen - shhh...sh? a railroad sign warns people to stop, look listen...
good - a valuable, a well
effort - a fort like Camp Brown, Fortress Mountain?

It strikes me if we have to both hear and listen, we might either have to listen really hard (repeated for emphasis), or listen twice to something. Two strikes of a clock perhaps?

I always thought this was a reference to the two St Johns. Baptist and the Evangelist. Masonic link.

Hear me all: Evangelism Worth the cold: Baptism i meant what is the Masonic connection. They are the patron saints of Freemasonry. To stay on subject, IMO the line refers to en echo. Worth the cold is harder to interpret. River with cold water or bronze chest cold to the touch seem like weak interpretationsto me. |

IMO Mr. Fenn may be saying to not only listen to something outside the poem, but to listen to the phonetic meaning. So, what if the line:
"just take the chest and go in peace."
Should be taken phonetically:
"just (S)take the chest and go in peace."
Normally I would not pay a whole lot of attention to this possibility, however there may be a big hint that points in that direction*. If one simply needs to stake/flag the location of the chest and notify FF it would answer the "how does he know it hasn't been found" question and it could make the line about getting title to the gold, make more sense. This could also solve the issue with finding it in a Park or other maintained land.
*Not going to tell you what the hint is, y'all need to figure that one out yourself.
I know FF has said the chest is physically out there, but what if it must be earned via following a 'precise set of instructions' in the poem/puzzle?

Hear me all and listen good... = big horn Bighorn Sheep,, home of Brown... When considering why Forrest chooses certain words, this is a great example- is this why? does Forrest use that method as a hint to an area? is there a way to 'know'? |
