Gold & Greed: The Hunt for Fenn's Treasure

A not-put-together-very-well catalogue of how far some people went to find buried treasure in the hopes of improving their lives. Particularly the family of 3 men who spent two years trying to excavate a boulder. I couldn't watch them recount their experiences, but I couldn't look away either. Overall my heart was sad for them because you could actually feel their train-wreck determination, followed by the pit of despair.

Much was left unsaid, especially by the aloof family members of Forest Fenn. You couldn't help think they were full of BS.

Perhaps I dozed off with sheer frustration, but there is a big gap in the the facial-recognition guys offer being accepted by the auctioneers, to it not. Huh? Yet the dragon bracelet and other things were in HIS re-hide box? Wtf?

It was poorly filmed, and had many nut jobs akin to Tiger King. It's the kind of thing that by the end you want kick yourself for watching the whole thing.

The preview shows an exciting story of a stalker thinking the granddaughter was the treasure within the story. The first 2 episodes was a dull boring mess on people deciphering the clues... it is boring and not what I signed up for. Dull characters, how they guessed what the clues were. I came her for the stalker story and not people who keep failing at deciphering clues. It is a snore fest and recommend avoiding, unless you are intriguing about how people waste their lives on solving treasure clues, and are just not the smartest of individuals of an old man acting like a cat and playing with the mice. Never got to the episode about the stalker... it was not worth it.

I started this thinking I'd get a quirky treasure hunt tv show. What I got was a front-row seat to the slow, painful meltdown of logic. People sobbing over rocks, detonating boulders like they're in a low-budget Bond movie, and treating vague poetry like gospel. I swear, every minute I watched, a brain cell packed its bags and left. This wasn't a hunt for treasure-it was a televised mass delusion. By the end, I needed a map just to find my will to live. If common sense was buried out there, nobody found it. But hey, at least now I know how not to read a poem. X marked the spot where sanity died.

Tells you more about the contemptible attitude that the aforementioned company has for its perceived demographic . To look at the characters ( mainly in the whole ) who chase this nonsense around the same area you , can see that the perpetrator is having many perverse episodes watching this mayhem unfold . There is nothing surprising about how low ( individuals with low IQ's ) will demean themselves in pursuing these whimsies . Some of them are arrested for trespass , stalking , threats to life , etc . Then you have the guy ( who wears a professional uniform in his career ) get bit in the face whilst goading a snake ?!

The race to the bottom begins here folks .

This show is awesome!! I highly recommend watching! This show kept me on the edge of my seat. Just when you think you have the outcome figured out, the plot turns upside down! It was non-stop excitement. The ending was really a surprise. I cant believe what some people went through to find a chest worth millions! This was defined a unique documentary on an unusual event. I've never seen anything like it. I also highly recommend reading the book Beyond The Map's Edge to find the next treasure! I really hope the author writes more books. Hopefully I'll be able to go hunt for this new treasure soon! 5 stars!!!
