The Boxes

The treasure is divided up amongst five treasure boxes. Each box is hidden in a different location within the United States. Four of the treasure boxes are of a similar size. One treasure box is larger and holds the lion’s share of the treasure.

Each treasure box is custom designed, one-of-a-kind, and forged of metals. The creation of these treasure boxes took more than a year. Each treasure box is also a puzzle box, meaning each box requires a set of movements to open it. Instructions have been left with each box detailing how to unlock it.

FAQs

Is this treasure hunt actually real?

100%. Everything you see here is real. It has taken the better part of five years to put this treasure hunt together and to complete this book. Along the way, over a dozen people saw the treasure boxes and treasure items before they were hidden. Professional photographers and videographers documented each piece in digital form. Additionally, the treasure boxes were custom-made by a blacksmith, who worked on them for over a year.

Who is this treasure hunt for?

Anyone! If the idea of solving clues, being in nature, or finding a hidden treasure sounds appealing, then this is an adventure for you.

Is there only one treasure box?

Where are the treasure boxes?

They are spread out within the United States. There is no more than one box in any state.

Are all the clues I need to find the treasure boxes in this book?

Yes. All the clues you need to get within a decent proximity of each treasure box are inside the book.

How much is the complete treasure worth?

In truth, it is impossible to calculate. I personally spent well over two million dollars on this treasure. But the price of gold as well as the value of many of the objects in the treasure have already gone up significantly since I acquired them. Additionally, some pieces are one-of-a-kind, and for that reason they may be considered priceless. As all of the treasure items are rare, it’s likely they will only continue to appreciate in value over time. Depending on how popular this treasure hunt becomes and how long it takes for you to find it, it is possible that there will be an additional value premium accrued from the provenance of this hunt. Famous found treasures of the past have historically sold for far more than their spot price.

Can I find more than one treasure box?

Please do.

Do the boxes need to be found in any order?

Not at all. You can search in any order or for any number of treasures you wish.

Do the solves require me to be a genius or to complete a complicated cipher?

Absolutely not. You do not need to be a genius, and there is no grand cipher to solve that will take you to any treasure. However, there are particular traits and qualities discussed in the book that might help you along if you choose to use them.

What kind of clues are there in the book?

Many different types. You won’t need them all.

Are any of the boxes in a dangerous place and do I need to be extremely fit to find them?

Absolutely not. All the boxes are located in safe places that are not dangerous to get to. Anyone of average health should be fine. An entire section of the book is dedicated to explain how to ensure your treasure hunting experience is a safe and fun one!

Why did you do this?

Because this project gave me great joy. If you would like to know more about why I made this hunt, I explain in great detail in the book.

Will I enjoy your book even if I don’t want to search for the treasure?

I believe you will. The stories and histories surrounding the pieces in this treasure are captivating, inspirational, and full of drama. They make a thought-provoking and compelling read. We are all treasure hunters, as you and I have things we desire and pursue in our lives.
