Right before the poem, we all know it says, “ So I wrote a poem containing nine clues that if followed precisely, will lead to the end of my rainbow and the treasure.”įorrest loves to fish, if his ‘rainbow’ is that of the rod and line (like the above passage relates), at the end of his rainbow….in a stream….could be the treasure.ĭarn, we might get wet fishing for gold! Of course, it still might be in a nice, dry, warm, place on land. It is a bond which renews itself time after time and is the addictive essence of the sport.” “To be suddenly connected through a rainbow arc of rod and run of line to something as purely wild as God’s own trout produces astonishment at the cellular level and, at least for a moment, blurs the border between man and nature. I read the following sentence in a book Forrest mentioned in The Thrill of the Chase. ![]() Although I would like to think ‘it’s not in a stream’, (for I don’t know why)…. There is one other thing about this ‘put in’ a stream possibility. Could this imply ‘it is in the water?’ (not the land in which the meek will gain title) And to back up just a bit to the Meek line of ‘ From there it’s no place for the meek.’ Psalms 37:11 says, ‘ the meek will inherit the land and enjoy great peace.’ However, the poem line says it is no place for the meek. But if you found the treasure, it would be worth it. Any suggestions? Lol…Ĭould the possibility it is hidden in a stream, also be a meaning behind, “ Your effort will be worth the cold?” To be searching in a stream certainly would get a bit cold after awhile. The thought of it being in a stream, even though I imagine a small one one which ‘ there’ll be no paddle up your creek’ because it is too shallow, has me looking for a good pair of waterproof boots. Plus, on page 137 of the book, Forrest mentions, “ Bronze is a non-ferrous metal, meaning it won’t rust or deteriorate in any way.” Now he was talking about the making and hiding of his bronze bells, but the chest is bronze, as well. I don’t like thinking that! But it does seem like a perfect place to hide a treasure, so that no one is going to just happen to come across it (unless you are looking for crayfish, which I actually do like to do with the kids.(wouldn’t the finding of a chest of gold instead of a crayfish be a surprise)!). Thinking on that always gets me sidetracked, because since I can’t decide, I go back to the ‘put in’ and the fact Forrest could have put the treasure in a stream. Obviously, by capping Brown, Forrest is drawing attention to its importance, but why? Does it refer to a proper name, place, or thing? I like the Joe Meek line of thinking, but it would seem ‘questionable’, because it isn’t capped, like Brown is If Brown is capped for that reason? I suppose this is one of the riddles. If meek refers to Joe Meek, and Brown refers to a proper name which needs capped (like Meek), then why didn’t Forrest capitalize meek? Too obvious? Or is Joe Meek proven wrong because Forrest doesn’t capitalize it? A few people are aware of the fur trapper Joe Meek and are following leads about him for the subsequent line of the poem, “ From there it’s no place for the meek,…” There is an interesting point to bring up here. ![]() The term ‘put in’ can also imply a few other meanings. However, wherever the chest rests, the person who eventually discovers it will have also unearthed the meaning to ‘home of Brown.’ Or maybe they just liked the line on page 4 of the book which said, “ My church is in the mountains and along the river bottoms where dreams and fantasies alike go to play.” The dreams of finding the treasure are ‘ in the mountains and along the ‘river bottoms’? For those who haven’t seen the latest Gadi Schwartz video, this seems to be what Gadi and Dal were thinking. It was ‘put in’ there (below the home of Brown (where you may be standing at this point?).Īssumingly, some feel it could also mean ‘put in’ a stream or creek. Many feel it is possible the treasure is concealed in a cave, stone crevice, or old mine. ‘Put in’ could suggest the 1150 AD bronze chest, filled with over a million dollars worth of gold and jewels, was ‘put in’ ‘something.’ That instead of this poem line referring to the searcher, it is referring to the chest. That’s the sentence in the poem which seems to be one of the major keys for the finding of Forrest Fenn’s hidden treasure.
