Recent emails to Forrest Fenn or ‘The New Mexican’ from those who claim to have found the treasure

• “I have been pondering for several days as weather [sic] to contact you or not since coming back from my great, big trip. I of course have found the location and am concerned that it has been already taken, I know this is a complete shock and you have never had these words sent to you.”

• “Thank you for your stories and the hunt. Although the hunt did not take me long. I have not left my house yet but i know where the treasure is. I know you get this all the time but I am certain I know. All I want to know from you is after I go get it, can I come talk to you.”

• “If this is not the right solve could you please say no it’s not to me. But as I have said I do believe that I am right.”

• “I have definitely found all the clues, and I know exactly where to go and try to find the blaze. My question is: I’m not able to go until July 1, and I’m wondering if anyone else has contacted you with correct info as to the treasure whereabouts? If so, I may try and go earlier. If not — I’ll try and keep patient here in Indianapolis until I can get out there.”

• “I just wanted to say I know your treasure is on the wood river by Brown Mountain south of Meetetsee, Wy. But as I am too broke to be able to go there, I just wanted to tell you. Thank you.”

• “After spending months intensively working on poem we are planning to go in August. We had decided not go until we had a strong solve for two to four places. Like everyone we think we have a very good solve and of course we are different. LOL!”
