When Forrest Fenn hid a chest full of gold, sapphires, and rubies somewhere in the Rocky Mountains in 2010, he tapped into something deep. It was like the American Dream reduced to its essence—an equal-opportunity quest for a small fortune. What seemed at first like a harmless poem containing nine treasure clues sent thousands on a journey of obsession and desperation. One searcher—Darrell Seyler—gave everything.

Unique and intriguing

Enjoyed this story - something a little different to other content that’s out there, and extremely compelling. Emotive, curious and thought provoking.
Some of the interviewing made me cringe (eg, “race aside”) but overall it’s a great story worth a listen.
