Rocky Mountain Treasure Chest Found
I'm curious what's in it.
Here's the back story: https://www.npr.org/2016/03/13/46985...-head-outdoors tl;dr - A rich old guy hid a treasure chest somewhere in the Rockies that he claimed has $1 million of good stuff in it. And it's been found: https://abcnews.go.com/Weird/wireSto...found-71122597 |

It sounds like Dutch's henchmen did a double cross and stole that buried treasure. I'm sure that's why Twisted's dad never found it.

Not gonna lie. If I had nothing else to do in my life, I'd happily hold the title of VP of the ChiefsPlanet Treasure Hunting Club. We're still searching for a President but BlackOp would be our Director of Creative Engagement.

That is an awesome story and I wish I'd known about it. It would have been right down my alley as a young pup.
I'd be interested in what took the lives of some of the treasure hunters. Falls is my guess along with helplessly lost or frozen in a snowstorm. Or even Grizzer Bear.

Five people died looking for it.

Those people have been disqualified from consideration for the presidency of the Chiefsplanet Treasure Hunting Committee.

“He said he hid the treasure as a way to tempt people to get into the wilderness and give them a chance to launch an old-fashioned adventure and expedition for riches.”
Should have added “ and possibly go broke and lose your life searching for it”. Fun

Well, technically they did find something. Just not what they were looking for.

I think it was BS and for just notoriety. The reason why the finder did not show his face or pictures of the treasure were either they don't exist or he knew the guy. I am also guessing with all the rescues and deaths that mounting pressure and warnings from authorities to stop amateurs from trekking, getting lost and dying they told him to say someone found it. Or he will be liable for damages.

I truly hope someone really found it and it did contain a small fortune. The contents will wind up coming on the open market at auction houses if real. That may help reveal who had it or the true story.

Josh Gates had an episode on this hunt on Expedition Unknown. Pretty cool.

It's several boxes of NBA Skybox cards and beanie babies, unfortunately.
