Let's collect some questions for the finder much like Jenny did for Forrest and maybe we will be lucky and he will answer a few one day. Maybe we could start with questions that don't reveal too much of his solve (since it appears he's not ready to do that yet)...some teaser questions to satisfy the community.
At what point did you know you had the correct wwwh?
Did the key word unlock the poem for you?
Was TTOTC necessary in cracking the solve or could a person do it with the poem alone?

Did you have to get out of there quickly once you found the chest?
Did you move with confidence straight to the treasure? Or did you have to search around for a "blaze"?

I predict that the solver/finder was like most searchers: he had been working on it for years, and probably had several failed BOTG trips under his belt. And I'm betting the final puzzle piece was figured out last fall or over the winter, and he had been nervous that others were neck-and-neck with him.
If he suspected anyone else had solved it as he had, he would have made it to the Rockies (or tasked a trusted agent to do so) at the earliest safe and legal opportunity.

Release the hounds. N0 one solved it but you, or your bought solve. Please, divulge the secret. Speaking of "bought", I personally never thought the value of the chest could get over $50,000.00. Is that about right?

Mr. Finder, what's up with the scissors? Fenn was umbilically attached. Maybe the scissors are to symbolically cut the cord. |

Yes, but you don't 'KNOW' that, and that is why we are asking the finder, because he does....... What if all we are personally thinking is incorrect? That is a possibility.... |

Is the Blaze an unmistakable mark (of the Chase) that indicates exactly where the Treasure Chest was hidden?
If so, is the Blaze still there?

Did you leave anything behind?
Once you realized how to solve the poem, did any of Fenn's other writings reveal anything to you?
Do you intend to search for other treasures still to be found?
Can you give us your other, wrong, solves?

Were you/are you actively participating on the blogs and forums?
Was it obvious to you why the spot was special and relevant to Forrest before you left to retrieve the chest or did it become obvious once there?

Forrest has been looking for those scissors for 10 years.
Maybe he can sneak them into the drawer so Peggy doesn't notice.
