Forrest Fenn, a famous antique dealer, filled the chest with antiques worth tens of billions of dong from his own collection and hid it.
Fenn was born in 1930. His father was a math teacher who loved outdoor sports. From a young age, Fenn followed his father to explore everywhere, so he soon had a love for adventure sports.
As an adult, Fenn joined the US army and became a pilot, participating in combat and achieving the rank of major.
According to media reports in the United States, in the 1980s, the gallery’s annual revenue reached about 6 million USD (equivalent to about 142.5 billion VND).

Moreover, Fenn himself is an avid follower of outdoor sports. He hopes that through the treasure hunt, more people will get out of the city and live closer to nature.
In 2010, Fenn self-published her memoir, The Thrill of the Chase.
At first, The Thrill of the Chase was only sold at a local bookstore in New Mexico.
The 24-line poem contains clues about the treasure, on the right is a map of the Rocky Mountains.

The quest even brings incredible economic benefits to a park.
The treasure hunt peaked in 2015 – 2016, but with the consecutive deaths of several hunters, the national treasure hunt began to be criticized.
In January 2016, a 54-year-old man named Randy Bill disappeared during a treasure hunt in New Mexico, and his body was found half a year later.

Finally, this hunt came to an end when someone found it.
Time flies to 2020, now that the `treasure hunt` has completed 10 years, an anonymous netizen suddenly posted an article online, claiming that he had finally found the treasure chest.
Jack said that he had heard about `The Treasure of Fenn` since he was a child and was fascinated by it.
Afterwards, Jack returned to Fenn with the treasure chest.
Fenn smiled and said: `Treasure chests are of course difficult to find, but they will eventually be found, just like our lives, only when we experience them do we know how difficult it is to get.`
In August 2020, with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction gained during his `treasure hunt`, Forrest Fenn passed away forever at the age of 90.
