In 2010 the Santa Fe art dealer Forrest Fenn hid a bronze chest of gold nuggets, rare coins and jewelry somewhere in the Rocky Mountains north of Santa Fe, above five thousand feet, and printed a poem with nine clues. For a decade tens of thousands hunted it across New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, and at least five searchers died in the try. In June 2020 a young man named Jack Stuef found it in Wyoming, closing the greatest treasure hunt of the internet age. This pin sits in the Colorado high country that was core search ground.
