No disagreement from me on that. First two stanzas are undeniably top heavy with 'tins'. Any thoughts on Galla?

I was thinking if I found the chest and then hid it again, could I find a better chest? That would be very hard to do. It is a great chest. Even with the copy out there. Why mention the chest at all if not to introduce a hint? Why spend 25 thousand dollars only to throw it away? Would participation in the Chase been different if the treasure was placed in a cheap five gallon bucket? It would be the same chase for sure. But if I was a showman and had the cash, it would hard to get a more amazing chest. But you are right. If it was foot locker size it would be hard to hide and look empty. If his spot is about 10X10, then that limits it too.

When I have been looking 10x10 is about like a grain of sand. Some places I'd bet you could hide a hundred in a football field and people would still miss all hundred

Someone today posted on the FB Group about the MW Weekly Words..... ' Your destination is small, but its location is huge'.... and they mentioned 'Mammoth" Hot Springs'. I thought that was neat connection.... mysteriouswritings.com/weekly-words-from-forrest-fenn-on-the-thrill-of-the-chase/
