Treasure Hunters
Over 6000 people are reportedly searching for hidden treasure that a millionaire claims to have buried somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. But their growing desperation is pushing searchers to extremes.
"There's 10% of me that wants to help 'em, but the 90% supersedes the 10%." It's been four years since a cancer-striken 83-year-old, Forrest Fenn, claimed he hid a chest of gold worth $3m in the mountains north of Sante Fe. While treasure hunters are certain of their progress, sceptics say they're being duped and many are appalled that several cultural landmarks have been targeted recklessly as a result.
