In Search Of Forrest Fenn's Treasure

[Chase Goldman]

Chuck - Sourdough Scott already posted a link a few hours back to Forrest Fenn's site where the announcement was made (that's why this thread popped to the top of the feed):

And here is a link to the story in the Sante Fe New Mexican:

Some lost their life because of it. 

Tell the fresh air part to the family that lost a love one .

No disrespect or lack of empathy meant to the families in the following:

You could say the same thing about half of us here, me in particular with some of the stuff I have done. I could have died in a fall, or gold dredging alone, or eaten by a bear, or in a plane crash into a remote area, or drowned in the surf in Hawaii. I'd rather die engaged in adventure than at home in an easy chair dreaming of it. "They died doing what they chose to do." That would look good on any gravestone.

It is said that hundreds have died or vanished looking for the Lost Dutchman Mine.

He said they were not in a dangerous  area but easy to get to.

That's the way I look at it, at least I have a lot great memories to look back on now and in later years.?

Steve  I too have put my life on the line doing what I want more times than one and I do it over again. I don’t let anyone dictate to me how I’m going to live my life and never have.

My family I hope will be sad if I get killed.. They don’t care you were doing what you want but just your not here with them anymore.

 That’s all I was saying and nothing more.

 I miss his post on the treasure found and it wouldn’t been a repeat had I known that.

 Thanks Steve I’ll give that a try next time I want something known.

They showed pictures of the treasure on my local news this morning. A gold colored chest with what looked like a really nice gold nugget on top of a bunch of gold coins.

That 1 million dollar value is probably worth quite a bit more today.
