The Forrest Fenn Treasure

For years, rumors of the Forrest Fenn Treasure ran rampant. Legend had it that a wealthy art dealer had hidden $1 million worth of treasure in the trees of the Rocky Mountains, creating a treasure map full of clues that he had hoped a smart explorer would be able to decode. As you can imagine, countless explorers tried to find this treasure and reap the glory that came with it.

But it wasn't until 2020 that a lucky medical student by the name of Jack Stuef managed to decode the clues and find the treasure. Instead of keeping the treasure, he eventually decided to sell it for cash.
