The True Purpose of His Writings
Fenn has stated that he wrote "The Thrill of the Chase" to be targeted at one specific type of person. In his own words, he stated that he wrote the book for outdoorsmen that have a pickup truck, six kids, just lost his job, his wife, and is craving adventure without even knowing it. However, the search for Fenn's treasure has spanned globally, with thousands of people flying into Santa Fe every year to get started on their search...
All Stories Get Told
Fenn tends to ignore the criticism and threats, but he does love reading positive testimonies from individuals that search for the treasure. He remembers laughing at a story that a college student once sent to him about the fact that he was prepared to dive in a river to seek for the treasure at the bottom. When he got there, he realized that he remembered everything but an air tank. However, Fenn's favorite personal testimony is from a single Canadian treasure hunter that emailed him one simple word: "Stumped."
