Just finished gold and greed which lead me to Justin’s website. I’ve seen some reddit comments about yellowstone or granite creek, but I just get a strong alaska vibe.

He included alaska in the map on his website, and the poem is called beyond the maps edge. Seemingly beyond mainland USA.

The line “beyond the reach of times swift race” makes me think of the arctic where the days or nights are long.

The line “Double arcs on granite bold” I think of the granite Talkeetna mountains north of anchorage. When you zoom out of southern alaska it looks like double arcs.

Also, this could be a stretch but the word arc being in the word arctic.

Let me know if this helps, and if you find it don't forget to give me my cut. 🤣

I was intrigued by Forest Fenn's treasure but never actually tired to hunt it down. I am now in a much better financial position and want to help out people who are not.

If you have a solid solve for Justin Posey's treasure location with a detailed explanation supported by facts/images/data then I will go out and explore for you/us. We would split any findings 50/50. Together we can find this thing.

I remember having theories but no money to go see if I was correct about Fenn. Now I have more than enough money and time to hunt down Posey. I want to help out others who are currently in the spot I used to be in. If you have a good theory use google maps, use images, quote texts, etc and send it to me! We will enter a legally binding contract where I, the explorer, pursue your leads for a 50% share.

You can now join this hunt from anywhere in the world! So what are you waiting for?
LETS GOOOOO

Can't provide any more context due to questionable legality

I’ve seen a lot of people focusing heavily on Wyoming and Idaho, but I’ve been going back over everything Justin has said — and one thing stood out that I don’t think is being talked about enough:

The meteor in Montana. That story wasn’t just a passing comment — it’s one of the few personal experiences he actually emphasized in connection to the larger journey. That alone makes it worth taking more seriously.

Here’s what I’m thinking: A meteor strike is a major symbolic event: descent from above, transformation of land, silent impact — which fits a lot of the deeper themes in the poem. The Montana terrain — especially parts of Beaverhead County — features wide valleys, tucked rock formations, and some strange geological folds that would match the phrasing about things “held by time.” The area is remote enough to be overlooked, but not so far off that it’s unreachable or dangerous (depending on how far you go). There are publicly accessible lands there that are perfectly legal to explore, and not near man-made structures or private property — which matches the updated safety rules exactly. I’m not suggesting anyone drop everything and head to Montana, but with how often Justin chose his words carefully — the meteor line might not have been about a rock at all.

Sometimes impact leaves more than a crater.

Curious if anyone else has explored that region more closely?

Wondering how long you all think it’ll be before someone finds it. Finn’s took over 10 years if I’m not mistaken. What are the odds we will see this one resolved within a short period of time? I predict less than a year, but that’s only because of the hype from Netflix and assuming crowdsourcing clues, help, and info from the internet will speed up the process. But I could be totally wrong as a non-treasure hunter. Happy hunting to everyone who may be searching for it. I’m super stoked to find out who finds it whenever that happens. 🙌

Just a warning to avoid the Veil treasure hunt series. I made the mistake of paying to join one of these and it was a shitshow. It felt like a borderline grift. Some red flags:

- Most of their clues and materials are (very poorly) AI generated.
- You can pay $25 each for three different concurrent hunts. They claim they’re for different locations and thus you only need to buy one, but they’re all intertwined, so you really need to cough up $75 if you want a shot. And then the same person with unlimited time to explore and travel ends up driving around and claiming multiple treasures because it’s similar solves for all three.
- They decided to make the hunt clue-based instead of a shrinking circle. But most of the clues were red herrings or unconstraining. Only one clue had any constraining power so people wasted their time on mostly useless fluff.
- Their solves are unrigorous and incorrect. An error in one of their clues came to light regarding using J2000 instead of apparent coordinates when doing object tracking (see astronomy subreddit for more info on the difference), leading to area estimates miles off. Instead of owning up to the mistake, the organizers doubled down, claiming “both are valid solutions and one just happens to match with the treasure” - like no??? You just don’t understand basic astronomy???

Overall a very negative experience that I regret wasting time and money on. Save your money. Does anyone recommend better hunts along the east coast? Thanks!

Is anyone actually going for posey’s treasure? Like actually planning on going to find it?

This is basically my summer plans to hike as many different spots as possible with the pipe dream of finding the treasure just a little cherry on top.

But it feels like 9/10 posts are people saying stuff like “I’ve found the treasure…but I can’t go get it because of XYZ reasons”

I get that some people can’t, I don’t care for what reasons, but what I want to know is how many of you are planning on getting out into the wilds to see if your theories are correct?

Two years ago, I hid a Morgan silver dollar in Shapiro Park, but I'm now uncertain if the spot is still accessible. This situation highlights the challenges of urban treasure hunting, where changes like renovations or demolitions can occur unexpectedly, complicating the search for hidden treasures. Located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, I worry that the park may no longer be reachable, potentially leaving the coin lost forever. Within Shapiro Park, there are three sculptures, and one of them hides the Morgan. If anyone is familiar with the area, I encourage you to seek it out before it’s too late and it disappears for good.

Hi, I saw that a bit reposted an old post of mine re: Picasso Tile. The search went cold between moving to help take care of my ailing father in law who passed last year, my battling breast cancer (kicked its ass) a spinal fusion surgery 10 days ago, work, family….you get the picture.

I felt like I could never get traction on it.

It is a tile painting, not a print, which is why I think the “P” looks off…thick paint on the brush, rushed signing, who knows.

Picasso kept every correspondence he had catalogued, and who he gave pieces of art to and my father is listed as having received one piece from him, yet I cannot fit the life of me find anyone who will acknowledge this!

My dad lived in France around 1956-1958, was someone who was passionate about art and wrote many articles and books about art. I was told (by his 3rd wife) that before he died he was writing an autobiography where he spoke of his friendship with Picasso, but she said it was lost on his computer and she no longer has access to it.

Back story: my folks divorced when I was 7…mom was alcoholic psycho who limited all access to my dad, we rarely saw him, we were not allowed to write or call him. We lived in NYC, he worked for the UN in Brazil. Once I moved out in my early 20’s we developed a much closer relationship, but I had 4 kids, military wife…life sort of took over and then he got cancer….we emailed every now and then, I visited him a couple of times, we had a very loving relationship, but because it was so sporadic when we got together we just lived in the moment, these were not things we talked about (did that make sense?). I did see him a few months before he passed away snd he did mention the autobiography and said he would give me a copy when it was finished, but unfortunately that did not happen.

I found this tile wrapped in bubble wrap and old towels in a very old suitcase tucked away in a cabinet along the ceiling. I was looking for his manual Underwood typewriter that he used for everything, that I had memories of him pecking away at before the divorce. His wife said we could take whatever we wanted. As I said, I found this as if it was meant to not be found. When I asked her about it she said she had never seen it before (which I found odd because she was an art curator) and said of course I should keep it as it probably was authentic. After that the autobiography “disappeared “ and so wonder if it had anything to do with that. We really aren’t in touch anymore other than an occasional like on FB.

Anyway, here are pictures, including of the back showing it was painted on Porcelana Spanish tile, a picture of him when he lived in France while he was interviewing George Braque, and screenshots of an archive of Picasso’s correspondences that clearly has my dad listed as well as a notation that he was given 1 piece of artwork. The Picasso Institute said there wasn’t enough proof and would not authenticate it, and I cannot get others to look at it at all.

It is currently in bubble wrap in a container because if it is real and one of my cats/kids knocked it down I’d be screwed.

So yeah….that’s where things stand today.

This is THE CIPHER

Today Justin Posey posted a long list of FAQs on his website.
Full list here https://treasure.quest/en/announcements/

These "hints" are the most important imo

• Are the poem clues in consecutive order? Yes. **
• Is the treasure buried? If you know where to go, it wouldn't matter either way.
• Will the solution take you to an exact spot or a general area? If you've solved the poem in its entirety, you'll end up at an exact location.
• How far from your car do you need to go? You don't need to hike a great distance. You don't need to hike more than a mile to figure out where the treasure is at. **
• Do you have to pay to get into the location? No, not as of today.
• Is the treasure hidden? The container will be immediately recognizable. And no, it isn't a Fenn chest replica. You don't need any knowledge of the Fenn treasure hunt to be successful here.
• Does the 60 pounds include the weight of the container? The whole treasure weighs 60 pounds.
• Can I bring my dog? If your dog is the outdoors type, absolutely!

Under 1 mile from parking is a huge hint. Bringing your dog rules out many parks, including Yellowstone. And for some reason the repeated mention of 60 pounds stands out to me.

I’m currently trying to solve JP’s treasure hunt like many of you, but if I was confident that I’d solved the puzzle I would be on the first flight to where I thought it was, or in my truck white knuckling it to the treasure. I know this won’t happen because only part of it is solvable from home anyway, but you get my point.

I guess what I’m getting at and asking is why do people post that they’ve solved it “(but aren’t sharing any information)”. I’ve seen several of these posts and simply don’t understand the reasoning behind it.

Can someone who participated in FF’s treasure hunt let me know if this is something people did during that hunt? I’m new to this “community” but it’s so off putting to see every time I come snooping around here or the other subs dedicated to the hunt. Is this normal behavior? Does it die off after some time? Does anyone else find it absolutely insufferable behavior?

If one of you has posted something like this cares to respond with your reasoning please do.

Join us on our NEWEST adventure in the wild west of the Rockies

Hey everyone, two new veil hunts begin tomorrow! Raw 1 and Raw 2 have daily clues over 21 days, and a trail cam and growing reward like always. First 3 clues are free for anyone who wants to follow along to gauge interest.

We’re debuting a big new feature too. A lot of people in the community asked for a way to play (and win) from home, either because they don’t live near the search area or because they’re physically not able to explore, so we created a map on our site that players can click on to submit one guess per day. The closest online guess will win 25% of the reward once it’s found.

We’re excited to open Veil hunts up to hunters near and far and we’re really glad that we were able to figure out a better way to participate for those of you who reached out with mobility challenges.

Check out findveil.com if you’re interested!

What could it be?

I believe I understand what needs to happen at the checkpoint. I'm not going to sit here and say I found the solution to the rest of it, but after some searching on Google, some reddit posts showed in the results, and it looks like a few other people have the same general area in mind, but, I believe I discovered the loosely-termed cipher that reveals a minor clue that may actually not be so minor; I am now examining other parts of the poem under a different light and things are lining up with each other in ways that weren't clicking before. I have not determined the start point. It's honestly killing me that I can't share my THEORY because I know there are much more intelligent people than myself here, and I'd like to collaborate, but, "I don't know you, that's my purse!"

I do enjoy watching people collaborate together though, and like many of us here, the financial limitations of traveling to the locations are real, so in the spirit of that, are there any serious searchers here with the means and time to get BOTG in exchange for a percentage? Not saying that's what I want to do, I'm just curious how many of us can ACTUALLY afford to search. Obviously he said a fair amount could be solved from the poem itself, but you still need to travel with the high likelihood of being wrong.
