In his 2010 self-published memoir "The Thrill of the Chase: A Memoir" Forrest Fenn, art and antiquities collector, describes a treasure chest containing gold, rare coins and other treasures hidden in the Rocky Mountains. On Sunday, Fenn announced on his website that the treasure, believed to be worth over $1 million, was found by an unnamed man "under a canopy of stars in the lush, forested vegetation of the Rocky Mountains."

Fenn wrote he had not moved the treasure in the ten years since hiding it and congratulates the "thousands of people who participated in the search and hope they will continue to be drawn by the promise of other discoveries."
