what the deuce?
That's what I was thinking too! Seems to be a code or two in the message. I'm also seeing strange things in the image . . . then again, I'm always seeing strange things!

Occului Nunc where did this come from?
Yeah frankn we all know! blah blah blah.
Don't worry, this clock has perpetual motion, it will never run out.No blaze as far as I know. Cost code? I guess we may find out what it's about when the clock runs out.

Now for the blaze. Years back there was a bad fire 'BLAZE' at Yellowstone Park on the west side, at the loop road. Here is a picture of it. Frank...-

Fenn's treasure is actually the inspiration for my upcoming project!
I'm starting a real treasure hunting company called "The Seekers Society." We are attempting to get funding via Kickstarter, with our project launching in a week or so. We plan to host incredible nationwide treasure hunts complete with clues, maps, keys, and adventure. Our hope is that Kickstarter pledges will fund the first treasure, an accompanying web site, and app. The funds gathered from the site and app perpetually fund more treasure. There are millions of geocachers in America. Surely some of them would like to search for something incredible
Back to Fenn's treasure....
Believe it or not, I just returned from an adventure in search of Fenn's treasure. Unfortunately, on my way home, I realized I was looking about a football field away from where I was meaning to look If home wasn't 18 hours away, I'd be there till I found it!
There are many nay-sayers when it comes to Fenn's treasure. It's very easy for an unadventurous and less than creative person to put this aside as a snipe hunt. Don't let this weaken your sense for a voyage. Regardless of finding riches in gold, all outdoor travels will bring you wealth!
If I laid out the description of where I believe the treasure is, and matched up the pieces of the poem to it, everyone on this thread would be traveling tomorrow. I can tell you this, the "start" has to be a real pinpointable place, and in my opinion, it's very blatant if you know a little history. From there the instructions are all very strait forward and fairly easy to follow. In fact, in a less than strait forward way, Forrest responded to an interview question with a major location clue that has always been accepted as only a fact about the treasure hunt.
As much as I'd love to break it down, and have people sing my praises, rather than shoot me the "we've heard it before" or the "then why don't you have the treasure" response, my poem (and clue) decryption is not up for grabs. I have plenty of time and legs left to hunt, but I will offer up some tips for those who are just starting.
*Tips
•Read the books!!! This is vital.
•Put yourself in Fenn's skin. What does he want?
•Don't search for the obvious (ahem Yellowstone)
•Don't look for "codes." The poem is strait up.
•Fenn is deliberate with every word he uses
•Know the poem, find a map, and research areas.
•There's a clue "around" the book. It really helps.
•Lastly, reading the poem using the right process allows for a lot more fact to be revealed. There is no "possibly this" or "maybe here." Find where to start, RESEARCH, and I'm sure you'll end up a football field's length closer than I was.
Let your future be shiny,

You'd be surprised
Since Forrest is a gambler, I've actually thought about sending him a bet via email that I can name the "2 search parties" and "location" they were in when they were within 500 feet of the treasure.
The only problem is, I don't know what I would bet him... any ideas?
If we can come up with a good bet I'd be happy to share his response
