“There’s an old saying: ‘I never knew it was the chase I sought and not the quarry,’ ” Fenn says. “Isn’t that a nice little phrase?”
Fenn es un veterano de guerra que en 1988 fue diagnosticado con cáncer, y 20% de chances de sobrevivir. Entonces decidió esconder un tesoro y morir junto a el; al final el cáncer remitió, y cuando Fenn completó 80 años decidió dar continuidad al plan y disparó una caza del tesoro guiada por un poema.

has hidden aproximately a million dollars of his fortune in gold and gems in an old world, bronze chest ... (he paid $25K for the chest alone). The whole shebang is said to weigh about 42lbs and much of the gold is collector’s gold, meaning that its worth much more than the face value of gold alone because of its historical importance.
La frase del principio hace dudar a algunos que esto sea una farsa.

Sólo Fenn lo sabe.
