Forrest used the Periodic table of elements as part of the puzzle. He said he was 79 or 80 when he hid the chest.,
I believe he hid the chest when he was 79 because it is the atomic number for Gold.
80 relates to Mercury and its common name is 'Quicksilver', Mercury is often used to extract Gold. So find Silver to extract the Gold.
The number 9 was important to the puzzle.
'I' is the ninth letter of the alphabet. Substitute the five single capital I's in the poems verses 1, 5 and 6 and read them this way:
"As 9 have gone alone in there
9 can keep my secret where
So why is it that 9 must go
The answers 9 already know
9 give you title to the Gold.
The word 'TREASURES' is the only nine letter word in the poem. The 9 letters go into a circle divided into 40 degree segments with each letter alone in its own segment.
Geometry drawing on the map was needed.
The puzzle led me to a circular blaze, it was clue 9. "Look quickly down your quest to cease" related to 'Quicksilver' or
80 Mercury. Forrest once said "if you have a search partner best to have them wait in the car" this cannot possibly relate to the chest but something that you could extract quickly on your own. I believe SILVER was in the circle, i.e. the bracelet. The title to the gold.
