I would be shocked if this guy hid his treasure in a national park after the troubles with Finn’s treasure possibly being in a national park. It’s illegal to remove anything from a national park which is why most people think the guy who found Fenn’s treasure won’t disclose the location he found it.

If this guy is rich enough to hide his own buried treasure then why did he look so hard for the first buried treasure?
It's not so much about the treasure as it is the hunt.
And if you are a fiend for the hunt you might also enjoy designing the hunt for others to put your cleverness on display.
It's like riddling, you solve the riddle and then make your own.

Just finished the Netflix doc this morning, posey is such a nerd in a good way. Good on him for doing this again in his own way

Gold and Greed: the Hunt for Fenns Treasure which is a 3 part Netflix documentary spurred this guy to hide his own after he came up short trying to find Fenns
From what I remember the clues are in the video of him during his interviews for the treasure. Fenns box was brass I think and he’d trained his dog to find brass. When he honed in on the treasures location he realized dogs weren’t allowed on the property. For me. I’m taking my chances with the fine and bringing my dog.
I suspect the guy that found it used a metal detector. The last clue, a blaze which was assumed to be a tree marker, was kinda questionable to me. Why use something that weather could take away? Either way that story is really cool.
I’d like to ask AI to assume it’s the same year as the poem came out and see how close it could get if you kept feeding it clues before the find date.

The original chest was bronze. It’s speculated that Posey has concealed his in a custom fabricated chest that could look natural. In the Netflix doc about Fenn’s he was seen placing it in a saddleback leather grandfather case though.

I’m gonna re-watch the Netflix series and see if I pick up anything new

Makes me think of the Hole In the Wall near Kaycee, Wyoming. . It's near to the Middle Fork of the Powder River, known for great trout fishing.
Hole in the Wall is historically known for being a hideout area for rustlers, cattle thieves during the wild west.
If I was looking, I'd start there.

Reading that reminded me of English lit only the teacher expected you to know what it all meant on the spot and be able to tell the class.

I haven’t gotten into Justin’s. I was really into Fenn’s and had a list of places to search in Yellowstone when it was found. I had the wrong home of Brown though, but the right idea. My home of Brown was based off a trout book that had wrong information. They said they originally introduced Loch Levin trout (brown trout) into Shoshone and Lewis Lakes. So my search area was Lewis River canyon. That was wrong, they were originally introduced not far from the actual location of the treasure.
You guys might want to look into There’s Treasure Inside. JCB’s hunt existed prior to Justin’s hunt and he has a few hidden treasures. One of them may be a lot closer to home than Justin’s too.

If you look into the FOIA requests that came from the lawsuit, Fenn and Jack had a lot of talks with NPS. They know the location. NPS setup cameras at the assumed location and did a lot of studies of impact in the area if a lot of tourists started showing up in the location. I personally visited the location in June. I really liked the home of Brown area and get why Fenn enjoyed fishing there. As for where the treasure was maybe buried at, the only thought I have for it being back there is so he wouldn't be visible hiding it from the major highway that runs nearby. No blaze has been found and even Jack said he never properly figured out the blaze. He claimed he grid searched, but from the photos he put out of the treasure, I think it was buried and he was illegally using a metal detector in a national park.
You can see he wiped away the debris and dirt that was covering it.
Treasure he found in it for people that haven't seen it properly.
