I'm not sure how old this information is, but I remember him confirming it still is and also saying that someone once made it within 200 feet of it (I'm not sure how he knows that, I wonder if he has cameras setup there?). Actually, looking at the wikipedia page [1] for it, it seems to be from August 20, 2016. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenn_treasure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenn_treasure

I'm not sure how he knows that, I wonder if he has cameras setup there? If he does then that's how to find the treasure. Detecting electronics is a lot easy than detecting a metal box.

  Or if he visits the site... just follow him.

    If that's the way to find it then it must be a tshirt reading "I found the treasure of melee island"

      The forest on Melee is fixed; you can find the treasure by memorizing its location or by following the map, but there is no guide who will lead you to it. You find the sword master in the same forest by following a guide (or, again, by memorizing her location). This was an interesting choice, since the hell caverns in the same game are randomized and it's impossible to get through them without the guide.

    You're more likely to end up having a ton of wonderful hikes through the park system. He doesn't just go out there to check his gold ;)

Assuming the statement is true (and the treasure is real), presumably he visited the area and saw some sort of evidence of people having been digging or otherwise poking around. If that were the case, there's an implication that it's probably relatively accessible to where he lives.

  He can get to the region, with weights, and home within an afternoon

Or maybe he has access to high-resolution satellite imagery. If so, maybe someone could figure out what area he was checking.

>someone once made it within 200 feet of it (I'm not sure how he knows that) There's at least one forum [1] where people post reports of their search. He's probably just keeping an eye on where people say they've gone looking for it. [1]http://www.chasechat.com/ http://www.chasechat.com/

  It also occurs to me that if you do get to the general location by paddling, as many have speculated, if someone posted or emailed him with the correct put-in spot he would know that they would have passed by the treasure.
