There are hidden treasures all around the world just waiting to be discovered by adventurous hunters. The stories on this list chronicle some of the most enigmatic fourtunes hiding out there. These are 5 most Mysterious treasures around the world. 5. Oak Island Money PitConsidered one of the last great-unsolved mysteries in the world, the Oak Island Money Pit in Nova Scotia has baffled many people since 1795. During that year, a young man named Daniel McInnis found a shallow depression in Oak Island. Intrigued, Daniel, together with two friends, began digging, hoping to find what was underneath. The trio uncovered flagstones after several feet. Then, about ten feet after that, they found a tier of rotten logs. 4. Forrest Fenn What's one of the best ways to leave a legacy? Tell everyone you buried $2 million dollars worth of treasure and urge them to go out and find it. That's exactly what eccentric multimillionaire, Forrest Fenn has done. Fenn is a former air force pilot, business entrepreneur, writer and artifacts collector. At 86 when he penned his memoir, Thrill of the Chase, he decided to stir controversy by stating he buried a treasure chest containing $2 million worth of gold and jewels in the Rocky Mountains, just North of Santa Fe. Clues pointing to the exact location of the treasure are hidden inside a poem in his book. He has also given additional hints and clues in interviews as well as blog postings. 3. Beale CyphersThe Beale Cyphers or the Beale Papers is a three-page pamphlet containing cipher codes published in 1885. Out of all three pamphlets, only one has been deciphered so far and what it says is quite intriguing. According to the story, a frontiersman named Thomas J. Beale left behind the cipher texts in the 1820’s. He met an innkeeper by the name of Robert Morris and left behind the pamphlets in a strongbox before going out mining. Over the course of several months, Morris received letters from Beale chronicling his mining expedition and providing instructions to Morris not to open the strongbox until 1832. 2. Saddle Ridge GoldDiscovered in 2013, the Saddle Ridge Gold is one of the biggest treasure finds in recent history. It began when a couple walked their dog one morning around their property in Califorinia. Although they've used the trail numerous times, that morning, they discovered a rusty tin can poking out of the ground. They took the can home thinking it contained lead paint. But while struggling to carry it, a portion of the lid cracked open to reveal the edge of a single gold coin. 1. Copper Scroll TreasureFirst discovered in the caves of Qumran in Israel, the Copper Scroll was found alongside the scrolls that would later on become labeled as the Dead Sea Scrolls and eventually make up the Bible. However, the copper scroll was different from the rest of those found in the stash. Whereas the Dead Sea Scrolls were written on papyrus and paper, this one is made and written on copper mixed with tin. The scroll was found on March 14, 1952 and one of the last 15 scrolls found in Cave 3 of the Qumran site. Those were the 5 Most Mysterious Treasures Around the WorldThe promise of finding the ultimate treasure is always exciting. The clues pointing to these fourtunes may be cracked one day or they might not. Whatever the case, if you do go searching for it, the thrill of the hunt and promise of adventure is guaranteed.Support the show
