The Colombian Navy just found a real-life sunken treasure chest!
Woman hunting for millionaire's buried treasure 'walked right past it' for years
23.05.2022 - 16:37 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A woman who spent years looking for an eccentric millionaire's buried treasure was left 'distraught' after it was found by another hunter - just 20 feet away from where she had searched.
Miriam de Fonzo, 51, scoured the Rocky Mountains in a quest to locate the $2million treasure hidden by Forrest Fenn, according to the Mirror.
The arts and antiques dealer, who passed away last year, sent treasure hunters into a frenzy in 2010 with his self-published his autobiography, The Thrill of the Chase.
He suggested in the book that he had buried a chest full of pre-Colombian gold artefacts, ancient Chinese jade carvings and antique coins for one lucky person to find, the Mirror reports.
Hidden inside a 24-line poem were cryptic clues, that would result in the death of five men, and see some 350,000 people quit their jobs, exhaust their savings and ruin their marriages all to race into the wilderness and seek out the bronze chest.
Miriam de Fronzo, a massage therapist and mother of two from St. Petersburg, was one of those people. She was on the last leg of a three-day road trip to New Mexico when she heard news that left her "completely distraught."
Fenn had just dropped the financial bombshell in a blog post that the treasure, which Miriam had spent between $2,000 and $3,000 on each of her trips to the Rocky Mountains searching for it, had been found.
He said: “It was under a canopy of stars in the lush, forested vegetation of the Rocky Mountains and had not moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago.
“The guy who found it does not want his name mentioned,” Fenn told the Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper, adding that the hunter sent him a photo as proof of the find. “He’s from back East.”
Fenn also refused to say exactly
