I think Forrest wanted to become a legend, and I actually think he succeeded.

He was described as a modern-day Indiana Jones.

Forrest came up with the idea to hide a bronze chest filled with gold somewhere in the Rocky

Mountains.

I bought this beautiful little treasure chest and I started filling it up with wonderful

things.

There's 265 gold coins, hundreds and hundreds of gold nuggets.

He wrote a 24-line poem guiding people to the location of the treasure.

Yeah, that's exactly it. He created effectively a treasure map in the form of that poem.

I'm going to read the poem.

So here it goes. As I have gone alone in there and with my treasures bold,

I can keep my secret wear and hint of riches new and old.

There'll be no paddle up your creek, just heavy loads and water high.

So hear me all and listen good. Your effort will be worth the cold.

If you've been brave and in the wood, I give you title to the gold.

And I read that poem and oh God, it was like a hook.

No place for the meek.

The bug got in me and I couldn't let it go.

I tried to climb up into that cave there.

I couldn't sleep.

I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever heard.

How much was that treasure worth?
