Enjoy the hunt!

I get the gist of it but cipher has me stumped. Already had submissions? Man, you guys are too fast.

The only single letter words in the English language are 'I' and 'A'.
There are three (apparent) single letter words in cipher, F, D, B, so mono-alphabetic is out, unless another language is in play (It is called The Translator, after all, though I believe for another reason. Spanish, A, O, Y, E)
Looks like we need a key

Would providing an 'answer' to each of the six lines of the poem help? Still stumped.
(Edit: Ya stinker! How we supposed to solve it without any hintsies? and don't say they are already there. It's like looking at a deflated balloon.)

Or maybe, like me, they cracked the cipher without the key 👀

I was struggling with the riddle, but something about the cipher seemed a bit fishy to me.
So, I took a different approach and was reely surprised when I was able to catch on to the method and saw how it washed out.

I want that $100! It's been heaps of fun so far going for that money. Gonna get it if I can figure them riddles.
I keep seeing the ghost of a woman in your cipher. Prolly nuthin'

Starting to see more guesses as to the final coin location but no correct solution at this time. Exciting to see more people figuring out some of the pieces of the puzzle.

That's what I'm doing now, guessing, unfortunately. Can't figure the deciphered poem and unsure if it's a continuation of the intro poem, or whether the hidden poem is in play. I see a couple of Clark connections.

I wonder if there are any ants and puddles in this puzzle.

C'mon retro! It's several/lots/many days in now. Give us a hint, buddy!
And don't say it's something to do with a ship and the ocean, or I'll smack you with seaweed!
