Forrest Fenn stated in a radio interview with santafe.com that the author of this book Andrew Briggs 'had a lot of the treasure poem riddle figured out'.
Forrest, a retired American art and antiquities dealer claims to have hidden a treasure chest in one of four States of the USA: New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming or Montana. He says the chest is located somewhere in the Rocky Mountains.
Forrest has stated the chest contains hundreds of gold coins, gold nuggets, antique bracelets, antique carved figures, necklaces, diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires. He has written a cryptic poem containing nine clues that he says lead to the location of the treasure chest. Estimates of the value of the contents range from $1-4 million.
Mr Fenn doesn’t think anyone will happen upon the chest by accident or by randomly searching within the four States. He has stated that the person who finds the chest will have deciphered the answers to the clues in his poem correctly and will progress with confidence to the right location.
Andrew Briggs was so intrigued by Forrest’s puzzle that he decided to spend most of his spare time trying to crack the code. Then one day after many months ‘EUREKA’. Andrew says he discovered the riddle contained encrypted text that could be unlocked using a special keyword. This keyword revealed a secret message laying out the path to the treasure chest.
Now he was convinced the treasure was within his grasp. But not so fast. Almost immediately Andrew realised Forrest had deliberately missed out part of the directions. Andrew said he had to find this part from a source referenced by the poem. It became apparent that Forrest’s riddle comprised several different layers.
Andrew says even though he has found the missing part of the directions he has struggled to interpret them to come up with the exact location of the treasure chest. He's confident he has navigated through nearly all of the layers of ‘security’ and deciphered 95% of the riddle but hasn’t been able to crack the final bit.
But he’s close. He says he has reduced the size of the search area to a relatively small section of one of the national forests in the Rocky Mountains of the USA.
Andrew believes the treasure will be found when someone can add the correct last 5% of the directions to the 95% he has detailed in this book. He is confident this will reveal the exact location of the treasure chest.
Andrew wishes good fortune to all treasure hunters who seek ‘Title to the Gold’.
