Forrest Fen’s Treasure
A Vietnam War veteran, Forrest Fenn received a Silver Star award for his service as a U.S. Air Force pilot. In a single year, he joined 328 combat missions. After his retirement, he and his wife started an art gallery that raked in $6 million a year. It showed off forged paintings, bronze sculptures, and Native American artifacts. He was a wealthy man who hid his treasures in the Rocky Mountains. It was a good thing that an amateur treasure hunter called Jack Stuef discovered the $2 million loot, although he refuses to share the exact location of it. He believes that this was the dying wish of Fenn himself.
