Fenn's Treasure Found
June 12, 2020 at 7:09 am
Ya gotta wonder -

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/...rrest-fenn


Supposedly this oddball millionaire hid a chest wirth 2 million for treasure hunters to find.

And we just have his word for it.


Sounds like BS to me. Show me the money - then MAYBE I will believe it.

What do you think? Real or bunk?

Won't know what it's worth until appraised.

I heard about this many years ago. Real or fake, it's a great way to boost book sales.

It wouldn't surprise me if the IRS seized the treasure and held it until income taxes had been paid.  Dodgy

I've watched a few episodes of that program and it's taking on all the appearances of tabloid entertainment for intellectual illiterates.  Dodgy
