New Mexico multimillionaire Forrest Fenn, 82, says he's hidden a chest filled with millions of dollars in gold coins, diamonds and emeralds in a secret place in order to encourage outdoor exploration. (Click here to read more about his story.)
Fenn posted clues to the hidden treasure in a poem on his website, which crashed soon after news got out about the bounty. As of Thursday, his website appears to be back up. With Fenn's permission we have re-posted the poem online, excerpted from his self-published book, "The Thrill of the Chase," where it also appears.

Forrest Fenn, who hid the treasure, and Marc Howard, a treasure hunter, spoke with NBC's Janet Shamlian about the treasure hunt.

Here's a hint for NBC - ABBYY makes affordable optical character recognition (OCR) software, so when you scan an image and run it through the OCR software the text is searchable (doctors that provide patients with copies of their medical records should get a clue about OCR software, too).
Too late.
I found it. No reason for anyone else to look.
Keep it movin....nothing more to see here.....
wish i was in california i think i know where it is ...lol
Timothy you would have one heck of a time finding a treasure chest in California since it was buried in New Mexico.
Timothy, don't listen to Bugh58, if he knew where the treasure was, he'd be getting it, not responding to you. Besides nothing in the poem says its in New Mexico.
Which on of the clues said it was New Mexico?
