One of the most important and debated clues in the poem is investigated. We also take a trip back to the early 1980’s to examine the first “armchair” treasure hunt: MASQUERADE.
We hear from treasure hunter Barbara Anderson and how her experience with the Fenn treasure hunt went from hobby, to obsession…to the courtroom. Also, the fifth clue is considered along with some intriguing solves from the treasure hunting community.
Boston police officer and Fenn devotee Michael O’Connell explains his incredible solve, and how it’s hiding in plain sight. Plus, the meaning of the seventh clue is hotly debated among the search community.
As we near the end of the series…do we have any idea where the chest was hidden? Yup. But that’s just the beginning. The eighth clue, and its possible interpretations are considered. Plus, we shift gears to “search celebrity” Ben Knapple and how his penchant for disruption upended the chase.
What is a BLAZE? Did someone find it? Is it still out there somewhere? We also give some perspective and historical significance to the chase and how it fits into the zeitgeist.
