Has anybody thought about the possibility that the treasure chest that was hidden was and is empty ? At least empty of gold and jewels . The only thing inside the chest is the sealed jar with the note that says something to the effect " see me in person for your reward ". Fenn had plenty of time to build in every safeguard he could think of , and this would possibly eliminate a non searcher from stumbling on the treasure and just running off with the contents. It would also allow Mr Fenn the ability to know when the treasure chest has been found .
I feel that this is possible and think that he had 2 similar chests , one he hid with the sealed note , and the other locked away somewhere with all the contents. But then again i feel that one clue tells the exact location of the treasure and the other 8 clues are referenced to verify that the location is correct. I feel this way because i am not a researcher , but actually stumbled onto something while researching something else. While elbow deep in research on that topic i read an ancient translation that was an exact word for word line from the poem. A couple days later i remembered where the line was from.... the poem. So then i was able to backtrack and locate every clue without ANY imagination or twisting , everything was literal. But i am physically unable to even check to see if i am correct. Anyway , thanks in advance for your thoughts.
