Where is Fenns Gold?
Ok, do you know the one about the guy that buried a treasure box full of gold worth about $2m USD, and left a treasure map, or rather, a poem and a map as the clues as to where the treasure was hidden?
No shit. This is a photo of the treasure box he hid.
Forrest Fenn operated an art gallery with his wife, Peggy, after retiring from the Air Force. The gallery was located in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and sold everything from artifacts to fine art and was quite successful.
Several years ago, he filled a 12th-century bronze chest with around $2m (£1.4m) worth of gold nuggets, ancient artifacts and jewellery, and secreted it somewhere in the Rocky Mountains north of Santa Fe. He wrote a poem containing clues to its whereabouts in his self-published 2010 memoir, The Thrill of the Chase. Since then, he estimates 65,000 people have gone looking for the so-called “Fenn Treasure”.
Here is the map and the poem (right click open image in new tab for a better view).

Where the Treasure Lies
By Forrest Fenn
As I have gone alone in there
And with my treasures bold,
I can keep my secret where,
And hint of riches new and old.
Begin it where warm waters halt
And take it in the canyon down,
Not far, but too far to walk,
Put in below the home of Brown.
From there it’s no place for the meek,
The end is ever drawing nigh;
There’ll be no paddle up your creek,
Just heavy loads and water high.
If you’ve been wise and found the blaze,
Look quickly down, your quest to cease,
But tarry scant with marvel gaze,
Just take the chest and go in peace.
So why is it that I must go
And leave my trove for all to seek?
The answers I already know,
I’ve done it tired, and now I’m weak.
So hear me all and listen good,
Your effort will be worth the cold.
If you are brave and in the wood
I give you title to the gold.
So tell me, where do you think? Where do warm waters halt? Fenn says that the poem is not cryptic, it is very simple he says. A person who understands those few lines will move confidently and with success to the treasure.
So, " Begin it where warm waters halt" - where do warm waters halt Steemians?
