They were on a hunt, a treasure hunt, and if they were right, the treasure — a jewel-encrusted bracelet worth $2,200 — was hidden somewhere very near. The couple had come a long way to this ancient rock, all the way from Vermont, driven by cryptically poetic riddles and clues that led them first to Gloucester, then —led further by clues like “Ravenswood” and “Half-moon” — to the shores of historic Stage Fort Park, and to steep paths surrounding the great Tablet Rock, in search of a “many trunked maple” in the midst of a thick “oak grove.”
A very rare 1714 Mexican gold coin, known as the Presentation 8 Escudos, could sell for between US$200,000 and US$400,000 at a live auction on Aug. 6 in Las Vegas.

Forrest Fenn’s hidden treasure may have been discovered in early June, but that hasn’t stopped fortune hunters from speculating about where it was hidden. When Fenn, a former art dealer from Santa Fe, New Mexico, announced the discovery he did not say who found his cache worth more than $1 million, or where they were from, other than “back East.” Fenn said the discovery was confirmed by a photo the man sent him.
The age of quests & treasure hunts was revived during the last decade with the advent of the Forrest Fenn treasure hunt. The elusive treasure was claimed to be found in June 2020 much to the chagrin of rival hunters and the relief of law officials & national park rangers.
