    Episode 6: The End of the Dusty Trail

    We sit down with a man who is so certain that he’s solved Fenn’s poem, he recently published a book divulging the answer. We also meet with a professional treasure hunter (the kind who gets sent to recover historical treasures sunk long ago) to measure the validity of Fenn’s claims. Finally, we evaluate all the professional, pseudo-professional, and obsessive “searcher” theories about Fenn and where his treasure may lie.
