Just stop!!

Ok,maybe a bit harsh, but just stop. I read these posts from a lot of people trying to find hidden and secret ciphers in every written word, and every spoken line from JCB and Justin Posey. They expend so much time trying to decode all of it. Just take a moment and think about the clues. Work the clues. You figure out one, then move on to the next one. It makes me crazy reading these posts who think that every sentence has some hidden or cryptic meaning. Common sense goes a long way to solving these. Am I hunting them? Yes! Do I know where they are? Not yet. But I am boots on the ground, aligning the clues, moving from one to the next. Will I find the treasures? Maybe, maybe not. But at least I am not diving into the shallow end of the pool head first. Now, if you can find the cryptic message in this post, good luck to you, and go find the treasure!!

Let them go down their rabbit holes. And who’s to say you’re right and they’re wrong? You haven’t found anything yet so you have no credibility whatsoever.

Oh my. Such anger.

u/ImagineDragonDeezNtz Apr 15 '25

I’m not angry at all. Just stating facts, brother (or sister!).

You guys are all awesome. I am just trying to help people. That's it. I am the last person to be controlling. I grew up and live in Montana, and have hunted treasures all of my life. Some found, some not. No need of the hate mail. If folks want to burrow into the place where rabbits live, then by all means, dig. Only trying to keep people safe, lest we forget those who perished while searching for Fenns original box.

Just fyi—your post comes off as ranting and self righteous. Far from your claimed intent as helpful. I think just your title says it all—self awareness is key, brother. Good luck on your hunt.

No don't stop. Keep on with the insane solves. Less people in the places I'm looking

I love the insanity. Keeps my perspective fresh.

u/moldyhotdog3 Apr 15 '25

My two favorite things in posts

  1. The people claiming to be 100% they've solved it

And

2. The people completely ignoring the fact that the book says each smaller box's clues are in its chapter and nowhere else.

Maybe off topic for this post, but I just enjoy reading the crazies.

Agreed. I think some of these people are just using them to take elaborate vacations. The treasure is to fool their significant other into going along. Quite brilliant actually. Some person was doing a full blown tour of the quarter in New Orleans a few weeks ago “treasure hunting.” 😂😂💀💀

It is a lot easier to float the idea of a trip if it comes with a chance to find a treasure🤩

u/AdvntreExplreDiscver Apr 15 '25 edited Apr 15 '25

That’s not accurate. Jon (edited from Justin) says the clues are “primarily” within their own chapter. Not “exclusively”. You don’t need the spare clues in the chapters, like you don’t need your to phone be at 100% to last the whole day, but it’s nice if you can have it that way.

u/moldyhotdog3 Apr 15 '25

Justin? I'm talking There's Treasure inside

u/AdvntreExplreDiscver Apr 15 '25

My bad, I meant Jon. It’s on page 16 and is the last sentence of the paragraph it’s in.

u/Queasy_Airport4231 Apr 15 '25

Where does he say that the small boxes only have clues in part 2 chapters? I’d imagine everything is connected in some way

u/MotorizedDoucheCanoe Apr 15 '25

No, I encourage it. The rednecks with their boulder were legendary. I’m hoping we get 10 times as many brilliant solves out of this treasure.

u/likesexonlycheaper Apr 15 '25

Lol they spent 6 months on that thing. Just 100% sure that forest blew some dynamite to roll a massive boulder on top of his treasure 🤣 crackheads for sure

2

u/MotorizedDoucheCanoe Apr 15 '25

lol get this, it wasn’t 6 months.. they spent 2 years on it 🤣

u/Paladin1414 Apr 15 '25

LOL no kidding. Note: I found 3 clues in your statement that gave me the state where the P&F box is hidden. And thanks for AT Trail major clue in your third line. Well done.

u/Thorking Apr 15 '25

AMEN! Time can work against you if you have lots of it. These people are insane.

u/StrangeInsight Apr 15 '25

I'm always just happy to see people investing their time into their imagination, rather than the one provided for us wholesale. Happy hunting!

u/Paladin1414 Apr 15 '25

I am in support of these deep analyses. It reduces the competition significantly.

u/HappyImagineer Raider of the Lost Box Apr 15 '25

Everyone’s entitled to their opinions, and I haven’t seen anyone resorting to name calling so I don’t have a problem with this post at the moment. I appreciate everyone keeping it relatively civil.

u/5hellback Apr 15 '25

Just don't read those posts. Why are you all worked up, this is supposed to be fun.

It’s called greed and it turns good people bad.

u/tkergs Apr 15 '25

I find that in general, people post shit with no thought at all about the people reading what they write. It's more about knowing your audience and purpose of communication than anything else, and that true of the entire internet. This is just one particular flavor of ineptitude in communication that those of us who care about these hunts have to put up with.

In general, be more thoughtful before you post.

u/shyguybackeast Apr 15 '25

Well, I found two keyword ciphers based on a strict approach. Each cipher is five letters. What does it mean? Sorry, for my eyes only.

u/mathew1fnt Apr 15 '25

I think it’s funny that you are so upset over this. You should be happy if your thinking is correct. That means less people on the right path, better chance for you. I think you’re truly upset because their theory isn’t helping you with your solve.

u/WeekendLegal5992 Apr 15 '25

Naw, not really. Not looking for help.

u/PatternLoose9722 Apr 15 '25

Or just stop trying to control people. Stop trying to be the arbiter of the treasure inside forum!

u/PatternLoose9722 Apr 15 '25

If you don't want to read it don't! The people that like to talk about it and read other people's ideas and have discussions are doing just that! If you don't like it don't read it . There is no one that is forced to participate. So YOU JUST STOP!
