Just months after revealing that an intrepid explorer had finally solved the 10-year-old treasure hunt<\/a> he plotted, New Mexico art and antiquities dealer Forrest Fenn<\/a> has died. He was 90 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fenn filled his 12th-century bronze treasure chest with golden nuggets, gemstones, and pre-Columbian antiquities from his personal collection. Together, the box and its contents were said to be worth $2 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To announce the hunt, Fenn included a cryptic 24-line poem with clues to its location in\u00a0The Thrill of the\u00a0Chase<\/em>, his self-published 2010 memoir. He claimed the goal was to get people off their couches in search of adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
