He hinted at the treasure’s whereabouts with a poem in his self-published book, «The Thrill of the Chase.» Some spent years trying to decipher clues in the poem. Fenn died at 90, three months after the treasure was found.

Stuef kept his identity a secret after finding the treasure. He only revealed it due to a lawsuit.

The lawsuit, which Stuef has called «meritless,» was filed by a Chicago attorney who claims «someone hacked her cellphone and stole proprietary information that led them to the trove.»

After Fenn’s death, Stuef is presumably the only person who knows exactly where the treasure was hidden. It is a secret that neither man would divulge.

«It was under a canopy of stars in the lush, forested vegetation of the Rocky Mountains,» Fenn wrote in a statement on his blog, «and had not moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago.»
