Modern treasure in the United States, discovered in 2020
The Fenn Treasure was a cache of gold and jewels that Forrest Fenn, an art dealer and author from Santa Fe, New Mexico,[1] hid in the Rocky Mountains of the United States.[2] It was found approximately a decade later in 2020[3] in Wyoming by an anonymous treasure hunter later revealed to be former journalist and medical student Jack Stuef.[4][5] In attempting to honor what he perceives to be Fenn's wishes after his death in September 2020, he has refused to reveal the location of the treasure.[6] An auction of items from the treasure chest in December 2022 resulted in $1.3 million in sales.[7]
