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.

    Darrell may be obsessed, but he’s also probably closer to the treasure than any other hunter. Though it’s hard to stay focused when Fenn himself is distracting you.

Masterful

This is the most lovingly crafted story I have heard in years. Best listen of 2023 by far. Thank you for making it.

Magic

This podcast/story is magic. The author is a wonderful writer and insightful thinker - a special combination. There is so much respect and empathy for Darryl, it took what could have been a straightforward story and filled it with the messy nuance of the human condition. I am wishing Darryl well on his new adventures.

Well done

This podcast was captivating, heartbreaking and beautiful. I have to admit, I went into it thinking it was a fiction podcast, but quickly realized it was a true story. It kind of even made the experience better. The host did an amazing job and hope to hear more stories from him. He honoured Darrell in this story.
