im game. always.
I think Miller found it when he was out there last summer. Here are the questions I have, how did this ol' boy get a 40+ pound box of treasure, so far off the beaten path, in the first place. I read the poem and I don't see 9 clues in it, and why does everyone think it is in New Mexico? Nothing in the poem mentions New Mexico.

That just makes me even more certain in my belief that living in Central Illinois we are severely limited on the types of "Treasure" we can expect to discover. We have no gold or precious gems & very little Civil War relics.
I'm tickled pink just to pull a lil silver out of the ground, I would probably pass out if I ever dug a Civil War belt buckle or shoulder plate....lol
I know this year is going to be my best ever, I've got a new hunting buddy (my son Ben) & I'm positive that by joining this group of treasure hunters I will learn more about MDing, history & topographic research than I have on my own in the last 7 years! HH

If you have never been to NM and you decide to go look for the treasure I sure you are going to get a BIG surprise when you get there and look at the mountains. VERY, VERY rough country and if your afraid of venomous snakes,... Well,... you might as well stay home. I'm always up for a good adventure but unless you are from that area I couldnt amagine anyone attempting it without a guide...for atleast the first few days any way.
But i'm game !!!

Police rescued a treasure-hunting Texas woman this weekend who was lost in the mountains of New Mexico in below-freezing temperatures, ABC News reports. Chanon Thompson, 33, had come in search of treasure that an author says he buried in the Santa Fe National Forest. Thompson's boyfriend reported her missing Friday when he didn't hear from her, and rescue teams found her the next morning. Thompson is now home resting and wasn't seriously hurt.
She was just one of the many seeking "emeralds, diamonds and rubies and sapphires" that 82-year-old author Forrest Fenn claims to have buried. In his book The Thrill of the Chase, he wrote a cryptic poem with lines like: "Begin it where warm waters halt and take it in the canyon down not far, but too far to walk put in below the home of brown." Fenn says he's sold almost 3,000 copies of the book, which he wrote to leave a legacy after being diagnosed with cancer. "I guarantee you, when someone finds that chest, theyre gonna be shocked," he said.
SURPRISED THERE HAVEN'T BEEN MORE STORIES LIKE THIS....

"Put in" sounds like a canoe. It must be accessible from a river, creek, stream, but not on foot. He said that if he is able, he will go there to die. Just take the chest and leave him be. The location is only big enough for one person. He also said that the box would not be opened if it was distrubed, by the animals or wind. That makes me think that it is under a rock outcropping of some sort. The lid won't open until it is pulled out of that spot, because there isn't room. Perhaps this small spot, is only visible from water level. Home of Brown, translates to casa de marron in Spanish, but I couldn't find any reference to either for that area. Although I found a reference to both, in other parts of the U.S. He also said, when you see the blaze, look quickly down. That tells me the the walls of this canyon have a marking of some type right over the spot. A white streak on a horses face is called a blaze. A streak of white or other color could be the mark.
