I remember when millionaire Forest Fenn started his hidden treasure contest. His 2010 book, Thrill of the Chase, published a poem that included nine clues on where to find the treasure. Perhaps this belongs in the book thread Wink

It would be interesting if he'd reveal where he hid the treasure.

I never physically searched for it, but I'd taken an interest in the hunt and had my ideas of where it might have been. I'd be curious to know how close my guess was.
