A Treasure Chest Worth Millions of Dollars is Hiding in the Rocky Mountains, Waiting for You to Find It

An Explorer's Collection

Forrest Fenn was an extremely well-traveled, and well-collected person. In his time as a treasure hunter, he amassed an enormous number of artifacts that he keeps in a makeshift "in-home" gallery that people can visit. The artifacts that he owns belong in museums, but he believes that anyone should be able to see and interact with these pieces of history (provided they're careful when handling them). 

How Much is It Worth?

Fenn's gallery is theoretically worth millions. We don't know the exact number because he doesn't see the need to get some of his items appraised. Some of the remarkable things that he has in his collection are: a mummified falcon from King Tutt's tomb (this one isn't for sale), a jade mask that's older than Jesus (appraised at $12,500), Sitting Bull's peace pipe (not appraised), and the spiritual centerpiece of Custer's Last Stand (worth $1.1 million), all of which you can see and hold if you visit his gallery...
