Treasure Hunt Extravaganza
Musician and former bitcoin investor Jon Collins-Black has created a nationwide treasure hunt with five hidden chests. The chests contain valuable items like rare Pokémon cards, an emerald, gold, and even a Casascius bitcoin.
Treasure Chest Clues
Collins-Black has written a book, “There’s Treasure Inside,” that provides clues to the chest locations. The clues require careful reading and open-mindedness.
Adventure Without Danger
The chests are not buried or on private property. Reaching them doesn’t require dangerous stunts. They are all puzzle boxes, but instructions are provided to open them without damage.
Million-Dollar Stash
Based on Collins-Black’s purchases, the treasure’s estimated value is between $2 and $3 million. However, fluctuating items like bitcoin could alter this estimate.
Legacy and Excitement
Collins-Black hopes his treasure hunt will bring joy to those who find the chests. While he’s kept the locations secret, he plans to release more clues in the future.
Inspiration and Competition
Collins-Black was inspired by Forrest Fenn’s famous Rocky Mountain treasure hunt. While he didn’t find Fenn’s chest, he created his own to share the excitement of the adventure.
