It was during Jack’s early years in the scientific medical program that he got into Forrest Fenn’s treasure chase and could not let go. However, as he got into a few controversies within his first few years, he left the media industry to study medicine. As for his past, Jack graduated from Georgetown University with a degree in English in 2010 before starting his career as a writer. The 2002 show called ‘Push, Nevada’ and the book ‘Mysterious Stranger’ by magician David Blaine are just two examples of Jack’s attractions. He admitted that he first heard about the treasure on Twitter in early 2018 and couldn’t believe that it had escaped his notice for so long.Īfter all, Jack had been obsessed with solving real-life mysteries that coupled monetary prizes since he was a kid. Then with time, Jack started opening up about his entanglement in the quest. Jack had remained anonymous, he said, not because he had anything to hide but because he feared the potential threats that came with his findings. Six months later, around early December 2020, the seeker was identified as 32-year-old Michigan native Jack Stuef, a former journalist and medical student. At present, Forrest Fenn’s site has a banner on the top that reads, “Forrest Fenn’s Treasure was found in Wyoming in 2020 – the chase is over.” Image Credit: Jack Steuf/Twitter The then-unnamed hunter had sent Forrest a photo to confirm his discovery.

It took nearly a decade since he’d buried it in 2010 for someone to untangle all the clues he’d left on his website and in the poem, but a man from “back east,” Forrest stated, who wished to remain anonymous, had finally done it. In June 2020, approximately three months before the death of Forrest Fenn, he revealed that the cache of valuables worth more than $1 million had been found.
