Dear Mr. Fenn, You once wrote: “There isn’t a human trail in very close proximity to where I hid the treasure.” You also once wrote: “And in close proximity were stone projectiles and crudely made hand axes that could have been 30,000 years old.” Can you clarify for us your definitions of “close proximity” and “very close proximity?” (e.g. 10 feet, 50 feet, 100 feet, 500 feet, etc.?) Thanks, Milan It’s not that easy Milan. Are you asking me to carry a caliper in my pocket? Each “close proximity” is different, relative, and site-specific, as you pointed out. So I can’t answer your question. To an ant a mud puddle can be like an ocean. f This suggest that the locations can and will be found on a map. It also to me suggest that since he automatically responded to the question with map distance scenario that he may not of ever put much thought into the botg distance scenario. Suggesting what? One more thing I take away from that conversation is, but I'm not sure about, crudely made axe's and stone projectiles? Are the stone projectiles most likely petrified tree stumps cut down 30,000 years ago with the crudely mad axe's? This may narrow a search. Back to the close proximity problem. There isn't a human trail in close proximity to where he hid the treasure. Each clue is site specific. Does this suggest there's human trail used in parts but not one close to the chest? Thirdeyefirst, First off: as far as the projectiles and crudely made axe's Forrest was talking about visiting old battlefields overseas that weapons of previous battles where lying on top of one another as if battles were lying upon one another. You can find that mention here, question #2: mysteriouswritings.com/six-questions-with-forrest-fenn-author-of-the-thrill-of-the-chase/Secondly: I have to interpret that if the treasure is locating in an area that a person would not normally go then there may not be a "human" made trail in any close proximity to the treasure, but a game trail may be a different story. Lastly: close and or very close proximity is subjective based upon the writer and/or speakers perspective and or bias to that type of distance, and that may be precisely why Forrest had said: "To an ant a mud puddle can be like an ocean."

Does anyone have the actual quote about stone projectiles and hand axes? |

Over the years, what are some other relics you were most thrilled to discover? And why? I found that little arrowhead when I was nine and it sent me on a lifelong journey of adventure and discovery. I wondered who made it and caused it to be resting at my feet for 1,000 years, waiting for me to pick it up. I still feel the excitement of that day.
In the Saharan desert of Libya I discovered thousands of war relics left over from the tank battles of WW-II: burned out tanks and shell casings were everywhere. And in close proximity were stone projectiles and crudely made hand axes that could have been 30,000 years old. I was looking at conflicts piled on top of conflicts.

It sounds like he was saying the tanks were in close proximity. Correct? |

Question posted 6/25/2014: Hi, Did the same 9 clues exist when you were a kid and to your estimation will they still exist in 100 years and 1000 years? Thanks ~Ron Thanks Ron, thoughtful questions The clues did not exist when I was a kid but most of the places the clues refer to did. I think they might still exist in 100 years but the geography probably will change before we reach the next millennia. The Rocky mountains are still moving and associated physical changes will surely have an impact. If you are in the year 3,009 it will be more difficult for you to find the treasure.f mysteriouswritings.com/questions-with-forrest-fenn-and-the-thrill-of-the-chase/ |
