In the book, he’s written a poem filled with clues that will lead to the 10-by-10-by-6 inch treasure chest. It in, he extends to the reader an invitation to share his enjoyment of treasure hunting by proposing his own. He wrote his autobiography called, The Thrill of the Chase. Instead, he beat the cancer, then began contemplating his legacy. Fenn planned to hall the treasure chest up into the mountains to have with him at his final resting place. In 1988, tragedy struck when he was diagnosed with kidney cancer. But there are some things out of the reach of money. He earned millions and had everything he ever wanted. His list of clients included Gerald Ford, Jacqueline Kennedy, Cher, Steve Martin, and Steven Speilberg.

Other Southwestern archeologists, criticizing how he’d excavated the pueblo site, called him a plunderer. In the ’90s Fenn fell into controversy over it. One of his most prized possessions that once graced his collection was Sitting Bull’s peace pipe. “I love antiques, particularly American Indian,” he told NPR.
Afterward, he became an amateur archeologist, self-taught, and set up a shop selling artifacts in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Fenn, now 87, was a fighter pilot during the Vietnam War.

The 80-something year-old millionaire buried a treasure chest somewhere in the Rocky Mountains, most likely between Wyoming and Colorado, although it could be anywhere from Montana to New Mexico. So when it came time to secure his legacy, he devised a modern-day treasure hunt the likes of which are usually reserved for mavericks, outlaws, and pirates.
