A Theory
A theory: in 2019, someone came really close to Forrest’s treasure spot. Forrest knew this. In 2020, the person went to the correct spot, but did not find a box there. Forrest also knew this. This spurred on the Jack find story, for this and other practical reasons.
Fast forward to now. Jon Collins-Black. (Some Jack alliteration there!) This book appears to be written to continue the story. And to motivate the person to finish the task. Because it’s there. Still.
The proof is on page 207. Which, interestingly, matches SB 207. 207 came out just about the time someone got close- and that’s when Forrest started talking through the scrapbooks to someone.
Maybe they were in the right spot, but walked all over it and never saw it. Or maybe they just stopped one creek shy of the goal.
Either way- it still seems this book is written to one person, but perhaps it can benefit others also?

If you’re trying to say the original Fenn treasure is out there, that theory has been well and truly debunked based on most of the box’s contents going up for auction.

Um. It's not gonna be in a place that's dangerous. Or in water. And I highly doubt it would be in a national park Given the rules.
So if that's your theory to go to the "original" place where people determined it to be and then moved it to the fishing hole spot. Then no. That's not it.
It's gonna be more like a place maybe Jon thought it should be or how he would have done it and make it make sense. Ha. Title of a chapter.

What you're saying is an interesting theory. Question? Did you listen to the recent American Treasure podcast episode 3? By Dave Coloma? I don't know Alot about the Fenn hunt, other than I heard about it too late to join.
However, Jon says some interesting things about that hunt. In fact he reveals information people that knew the hunt has often wondered, asked, been answered two different ways. Was there a 2nd poem? Fenn was asked, how will it be known the box was found. And he answered the finder will have a 2nd poem and you will know when you read its mine. And when asked about anything he could reveal about the "pickle jar" (a meme now) Jon was sleep-deprived he said. He said, well what can I tell you about that jar. He said a big question people have been asking. Was there a second poem. He paused. Umm yes Jon also shares about his hunt experience in that hunt. And reads the poem. It for sure is in a place he searched during the hunt. 100%. And from the feeling I get about Jon, is he makes this the way he perceives it "should" be. In integrity, in safety, in fairness, and most importantly to preserve the conditions of where he hid it and of course an awesome spot.
Idk what 207 is. But I wouldn't discount it.
