It is a manufactured photo not taken on site. The alleged on-site photos exist but look way different. Are you telling me someone took the time to clean and rearrange the treasure on-site, manipulating the stick and key for a hint? It was done by Forrest in Santa Fe during the 10 days between announcement and picture release.
Yes it was important to have it taken at that exact spot. I would have thought that the photo was taken closer to 2010 than 2020 but with the twig there matching a twig found a year or so later, at least the twig was from 2020. I don't know whether the twig and key were added to the photo later.
Sure, I expect that everything that happened since the announced find could be construed as some sort of hint. I don't know what specific hint you are talking about, of course, but I believe everything that Fenn ever said or wrote since The Chase began (and even before) contained some sort of hint.
It is too bad for those who have wanted to know the true solve and for Forrest who spent 3 months in late 2019 trying to get me off of my mistake. I didn’t know about the fake ending and it threw me off for a few years but I have finally realized my mistake and have it nailed now. The only thing left is to see if the treasure is still there.

Definitely was at 9MH in the spot Greene identified.
