meeting is now streaming live on youtube
it says oh
there we go okay hi everyone
hello everybody let's see how this looks
i don't see it i don't see a margarita
in front of cynthia it can't be the real cynthia
cynthia
i have water uh it's because i have to
be on my best behavior and not give up
all the secrets so
i am i can't get drunk i talk too much
when i drink
oh really oh my god yeah my mouth just
runs like a
like i don't know what and then
and then i get naked
and then my parents are embarrassed so
you know whatever [Laughter]
[Laughter]
oh that's right you missed it dale on
the last show um
cynthia told us how her parents did see
that picture of her at ojo caliente
are we live now we're live oh because i
was gonna say what my dad said to me and
it's like
no i'm not gonna say that on no okay youtube
youtube
all right so your parents saw that
picture and
yeah and what's really weird about it so
i usually send my parents the link
directly to my blog articles that's what
i would do
and i never sent them a link obviously
to that article
but when i send them the link to the
next one apparently
somehow they clicked on it
they said they saw they they figured out
how to
how to look i don't know what they
figured out but they saw it it whoops
so were your folks disappointed
no they i think they were well i don't
know if probably proud
proud i'm not
any different now than i was as a kid
growing up so as far as the nudity
i'm sure that that per se would not have
uh shocked them at all but
i'm sure they were not expecting that on
my youtube channel or on my
website so oh my lord oh my lord
so yes welcome everybody
yeah all right so i'll be relying on you
guys again to let me know if
audio is poor i think i fixed the echo issue
issue
so let me know if that's not fixed we
already have some amy seeks
chasing and he says hi dale hi cynthia
uh minitar moreno says out of the
labyrinth and into the chat room the
minotaur is here [Laughter]
[Laughter]
all right i think we sound pretty good so
so
for anyone who doesn't know yet
there was an article recently released
by the finder
the majority of people pretty much think
it is the finder
and so we're going to be discussing that
as well
but first off the little bit of
information that cynthia was going to
share with us
which she was like people don't even
want to know anymore who cares
but i still think it's a part of this
thousand piece puzzle that is gonna be
nice to know you know it's it's gonna be
good to know
and um i know people are wanting winning
oh tom walker tom walker's in the world
all right hi dale hi cindy hi amy
everyone is looking great well we can
fix that uh
okay so nice
so he and i thought you had so much class
class
oh come on come on
um okay yes so tonight's show uh we're
obviously going to talk about the
you know the finder and all the new
information cynthia first is going to
give us her little nugget of information
that kind of fills in one of the puzzle
pieces and we also have the new doodles
so i'm going to let kind of cynthia and
dale decide on what we want to talk
about and when
and but first off cynthia the floor is yours
yours
for the information that right now seems
yeah so when um when amy and i first
talked about doing the show
i told her that i had something just
pretty minuscule that i could share with
the community
that at least answered one question that
people discussed over the last 10 years
what happened was i actually was able to
visit forrest at his home the end of august
august
and um he he actually had it set up outside
outside
his house in the trees where we
we social distance we didn't have to
wear a mask
um but we our chairs were like i don't
know at least probably eight feet apart
or whatever
not not that any of this matters but
anyway so we're having sitting there
having a really nice visit
and there was like a law in the conversation
conversation
and um i said to force and and i generally
generally
never asked him specific questions about
the treasure
or the finder or wyoming or whatever and i
i
said but i said forrest
i think the finder must be in a pickle
because of the income tax he will now
have to pay
and forrest looked at me and he said cynthia
cynthia
i have something to tell you and then he said
said
no i'm not going to tell you and then he
said he hesitated and he said okay i'm
going to tell you
and he said the way it worked was the
finder returned
the chest to him
forrest took the chest and and he
actually used his hands and made gestures
gestures
he said he took the test he handed it
back to the finder and said
i am gifting this to you
and he said it took five seconds
so forrest went on to say uh i
i don't remember the rest of the of that
particular conversation
i mean it's it's sort of irrelevant but
he started talking about like a i don't
know if it was a one-time gift a
lifetime gift
that that uh currently
the year 2020 um it could be valued at
like 18 million dollars or something
and the person that you gifted it to did
not have to
pay income tax on it and he said the chest
chest
fell way below that value
so a one-time gift one time
and he said all along that was his plan
that's how he would know when the chest
was found
and uh i'm pretty sure he went he said
that the the directions to do this were
inside the chest
so so he knew that's why he could say
for 10 years
that he would know when it was found now
i guess right so basically so basically
the finder
retrieved the chest for forest
returned it to him yeah return the chest
forrest said thank you would you like a chest
chest
basically is that yeah he actually told
me he said
i want you to have it i'm gifting it to
and then the bracelet you wanted me to
make sure i didn't forget to
yeah well that's sort of been answered
so then i followed it's still
weird yeah so then i followed up that
with i asked forrest did the finder
allow you to keep the bracelet and four
said i cannot answer that or i will not
answer that
and then i said well i couldn't
understand why he couldn't answer that
so i said well
everybody i know that was a searcher everybody
everybody
said if they find the treasure chest
they will return the bracelet to you
and he said i won't answer that
so so he never told me but in today's
story the finder said he did give
so i mean said that to me that was huge
knowing that it was now granted it was
one of the prevailing theories of what
people thought
yeah you know you know it's not it's not shocking
shocking
in any way um but i think it's definitely
definitely
for me that was really huge i don't know
what he
did did you know anything about that
dale or do you have an opinion about that
that
no it comes as kind of a surprise to me
because i always felt that forrest had said
said
and and you know this is my
interpretation of what forrest said
he probably never really said this it's
probably just how i remembered him
saying it but you know uh
there's but i thought he said something
to the effect of
of you know there's no of secret
documents in the chest there's no
directions there's no
you know you don't have to you're not
going to find a piece of paper
uh where the chest should be that's
going to send you to a bank or something
like that
and so i always kind of thought that
that there wouldn't be anything
weird i thought the chest would be just straightforward
straightforward
well i can hear myself now coming
so i yeah i always thought that was kind
of uh
i mean that you know that was never that
was never there was never going to be any
any
special directions about what to do with
the ins inside the chest
well he he didn't he didn't say it to me but
but
maybe maybe it
i mean it was totally up to the finder
if they wanted to do this or not
you you could have been the finder and
just taken it home and
and sent for us a picture and say i
found it
and not returned it but then
if i mean then i don't know what happens
if the irs
catches you so in other words if you
were actually
finding the chest to make money for it
and then you were going to take that
chest to
like um christie's auction house or whatever
whatever
he would then i mean then the irs
is going to know that you have it then
you're going to have to pay income tax
on blah blah blah
so it seems to me that this would have
been the smartest thing to do
well and and obviously this is this
present situation
is is is obviously the result of the finder
finder
not wanting to be known not wanting
the irs to know not wanting to have to
deal with
the ridiculous uh legal
situation that forrest found himself in
uh and not wanting people claiming that
they found the chest ahead of him and
putting him in court for
for the next uh hundred years you know i
don't blame the finder
for a second for not being for for
remaining hidden
uh you know and not declaring that that that
that
that by name that he found the chest or
i i think that's a smart thing to do
i've also heard rumors you know
everybody talks about well that's not
what was in the chest we saw
all these things where's this where's
that you know they're not in any of the
pictures and
and i've also heard rumors that many of
those things never were in the chest i
mean they were in there for a photograph
remember forrest told us many times that
he rearranged what was in that chest
so and that the photograph that we had
was not the final arrangement of things
that was
that were in that chest he also said
that he wanted it to be
you know he wanted the person who found
it to
what to to be awe struck
i can't remember his words but something
to that effect but basically
jaw-dropping like yeah yeah
and and and i i i don't know what was
left in the chest but
people you know are often saying that
can't be the real chest because where's
this where's that
well i don't know it makes sense to me
for us to rearrange things and
and those things are not in the chest
i'm sorry
right and so there there are some
questions coming in from chat
um if that's the case why not
sell the chest and give out the solve if there's
there's
if there's no taxes that kind of stuff
i'm guessing it's the same reason dale
was talking about is
like in the article he didn't want to be
constantly looking behind his back
for you know his family and and being scared
scared
well there's all kinds of answers that also
also
have to be once once this person says
where the chest is
or you know in my possession once that happens
happens
then he's going to be hounded to death
about where was it found
and if it was found in a place where
uh legally maybe
i mean there's they're just lots of things
things
yeah inside yellowstone or on private property
property
who knows at this point but but uh
why deal with all that it's so much
easier just to remain anonymous
yeah and just a real quick recap we have a
a
um we have people kind of a new a new
group of people
joining us um so cynthia just
uh shared the information with us that um
um
forest oh here's justin that forest
um shared information with her about how
the finder
had the chest and
there was a message you know in the in the
the
treasure chest that basically said you
know return the chest to me
so the finder retrieved the chest for
forest gave it to forest
and then forrest said thank you here's a
chest and
uh gave the in with this one time gift
of a lifetime gave it to that person tax-free
tax-free
and that's basically the information
that was just shared and that's what
we're currently talking about
so there you go and there's more
questions from cat hi jose hi justin
hey justin you look familiar do i know you
you
vaguely so here's some more questions
from chat
um that's why forrest said it depends if
they want the government to know or not
um chasing andy says can you please ask
dale why forrest decided to write the
scrapbook toe to toe
um where's your drink amy seeks
right there uh did you notice the front
of the chest was not
bent like the original fine picture i
really think that was a photographic
thing but
we'll talk about that in a second um oh
direct your questions to
amy seeks there we go okay so um i guess
we have the toe to toe comment
and the basics about you know if he
wants the government to know
we'll go ahead cynthia so so i just
wanted to
to make comments about what what we
really actually do know
we we know that forrest sent dale a picture
picture
i mean these are the pictures that dale
published one was the treasure
chest near the location where it was found
found
and then two pictures of force in an office
office
um with him one wearing the bracelet the
other him sitting there looking at the
um the items from the test then today in
today's story
more pictures of forest and the items
it appears to be in the very same office so
so
um i i
don't see i i know people
are are saying that they don't believe
there is a finder i mean that's one of
the conspiracies
or or the fact that today's story is legit
legit
um yeah i don't question that either
so so we know so
so now that i have shared the story that forrest
forrest
handed the treasure back to the finder
and said i'm gifting this to
you or whatever phrase he used it's legal
legal
i mean it's a legal now it seems like it
was a legal
transfer of of an object
so obviously there had to be an uh
at least one attorney there right fenn's first
first
attorney or lawyer had to have been
there right
i mean that's probably his lawyer's
office look at the table it looks like
something that would be
so i don't find it odd at all that this
was the way
force expected it to be returned and he
gave it back to be tax-free
and with a lawyer being there isn't that likely
likely
that uh either one lawyer or maybe the
finder had his own lawyer or he didn't
need a lawyer
and at that time forrest's lawyer
created a legal document saying i mean
saying just that
the guy found this chest and whether or
not it this where
but found the chest returned at the
forest forest gifted it to him
and done deal i mean i i really i i just
think that
is so feasible and so credible sounding
that i i don't
see how yeah it was one of the
prevailing theories
that is what many many people believed
that seems like occam's razor you know i
know that there are folks think
oh you know the the photos on this page
have been staged or they're
they're fake and all this and yes i
suppose someone could have gone to great
lengths to
to forge some of these photographs and
so forth but
you know if you look at it as a whole
and and
especially with the information that
cynthia's provided it
it just makes sense that it's at face value
yeah yeah yeah outcomes razor and
there's more questions from the chat um
let's see journeyman i would love to
know how long forest looked at those scissors
scissors
those rusty scissors denise begley
says why would he think forrest wouldn't
want others to know where it was
where his special spot is why didn't he
ask forrest i think forrest wanted us to know
know
zosa rock says why is cynthia saying
what we do know
she just stated many things we did not
know elaborate on that zozo i'm not sure
what you mean
and that's caught up for now yeah i mean
we don't
know that those conversations didn't
take place it's entirely possible that
forrest and the finder might have
discussed that
in terms of revealing the the final
location i
my guess would be that yeah you know it's
it's
by revealing the final location it's
possible that that might divulge
the identity of the finder in some way
you know maybe other folks
you know distant friends or something
knew that he was going to search in a
particular area and if you know that was
divulged then they could put two and two
together and discover that you know
it was it was this guy i don't know but
but from my perspective it's more around
protecting the the sanctity of the of
of the spot you know this was a place
that's very special to forest
place that he wanted to die in and you
know by defaulting that to the masses i think
think
you know just there's a good chance that
folks would defile it you'd get the
masses kind of pouring in there and turn
into more of a tourist attraction than
anything else
i i still firmly believe that um
that it was likely since forest's heart
was in
yellowstone i firmly believe still that
it was in yellowstone and i think it just
just
unpacks a whole new bag of worms if if
the world knows for certain that it was
in yellowstone
uh so there's no you know nobody wants
that nobody wants those legal issues
uh burdened on to the end of this thing
and so
keep it a secret don't say
at least for a decade yeah
there's got to be a a um
statute of limitations on something like that
that
where like in a decade the finder can be like
like
i found it in old faithful and they
can't do anything
yeah i have no idea i've never heard anything
anything
yeah i mean tax implications you'd think
that for the lifetime of the finder
they'd be held accountable for that so
for sure yeah yeah but beyond that i
don't i don't know
and you're gonna say something cynthia
sorry yeah i was just gonna say that
i totally agree with what justin said
about not revealing the
location where the test was hidden because
because
i know for one as soon as i find out
where it is i'm going there
i want to see the spot i want to
experience the spot
that was a special place to force and i
bet there's 10
000 other people that would do the exact
same thing
you and i be racing to get there yeah
and it looks like you're still in
montana so you can beat me
i got a leg up there anyway
uh so you show the majority of the
people i do believe are like us
that they would just want to go and
experience it and not do
anything except probably create a shrine which
which
if it is in yellowstone i doubt the park
service would like that
they all do remember when you hit the
geocache thing
in the park right off of boundary street
and how the park service found it and
took that out and that was
that was little so imagine
if if it was yellowstone and we we
create a shrine
i mean can you imagine what what the
hell i mean they'd have to totally rope
it all off so no one could ever go there
and then and then the opposite of that is
is
you have the the haters and all the naysayers
naysayers
and the negative people that all the
totally traded of course
they've hated force they've hated the
chase they've hated everything about it
and i believe they would go there and
they would desecrate it
they'd probably take a you know what
their in the area
i mean they would ruin it so you just
have a few people like that and they
would totally ruin it
so wait wait a minute cynthia naysayers
no anyway um i i just i would be
shocked if the finder actually ever
comes out with the exact spot
but i sure would like to know some more
right and there's some more questions
from chat um
let's see here k pro oh capra has a
question about putting the article up uh
do you think there's going to be any
issues as far as permissions are
concerned about putting the article on
your website
and has the finder been in contact
uh with you about the release
i don't know was this for me uh yeah
yeah from paypro
um no i don't think that there's any
legal implications it was posted on
reddit reddit everything on reddit is
freely available
and as far as i'm concerned and so i can
steal it from there
um i'm sorry go ahead sorry
multitasking go for it finish off and
uh so no i i don't i don't have any and
no there's why would i be in contact
with the finder
i know i already knew the answer to that
but i was going to ask it for the rest
of the people
like you know i i wish right that would
have been nice
um but here's a good question that
cynthia actually knows a little bit
about because she had asked about it when
when
when she talked about how the chest was
exchanged marty bird wanted to know how
would this
note to return the chest to forest work
if it was found after he passed
ah i asked that and and see that was one
of the things they knew that i
that i forgot i did too i forgot i'm
sorry it was just so nice seeing you i
forgot about the stuff we talked about
and that's that's an excellent question
because that's the first thing i
asked force was well what if this would
have been found after you had passed away
away
and he said there was a way
i mean you'd think that it was something
to do with estate planning right like where
where
potentially sure yeah the state lawyer
might be involved in something
i mean he would he wouldn't tell me god
i'm hoarse from all the talking i've
done today that's all i've done
uh anyway yeah forrest absolutely would not
not
give me any information to answer that
question cynthia is going to lose her
voice like right before she starts
all right so there's some more questions
um minotaur mourinho says amy seeks just about
about
everyone in my family besides me
believes fenn never hit the chest
what proof do we have at this point that
they are
[Laughter] [Music]
[Music]
what proof are we looking for what would
finally convince us
meeting the finder while he's holding
the chest
yeah there's there's millions of
questions like that what proof do we
have that
god exists what proof do we i mean you
can go on and on and on forever and ever
and ever there are people who will
believe it and people who don't and
so i'm sorry oh and chasing andy says
i'm chop liver am i missing
chasing india if i'm missing stuff let
me know if you had
said amy seeks and i missed it
re-say it or something what's this
doug preston said in his response to the
medium article
doug preston responded i will check that out
out
make sure to show your support for the finder
finder
and other authors of fiction support authors
authors
that sounds like douglas wait a minute
what does that mean
so douglas preston like if you have as
you like i subscribed to his youtube
channel a while ago yeah um he
want he support smaller authors
so medium is a place where people who
aren't getting published can publish
their work
you know i understand all that but what
is it sounds like what what he's saying
there is
that this is a work of fiction oh i think
think
well i mean i think it's more along the
lines of saying
since it was on medium you know which
supports authors and stuff like that
i think it's more along the lines of
support the finder and
you know working in his own little thing
support authors too
sounded to me like he was saying support
the author and support other non-fiction work
work
well yeah i kind of got the same feeling that
that
he was alluding to the article being fiction
fiction
uh you know maybe that i'm sorry fiction yeah
yeah
let me go into medium so real quick
chasing india i forgot chasing india
asked about the toe to toe thing
do you know why fenn wrote the
toe-to-toe scrapbook and while you
answer that i'm going to go into medium
and see if i can find the exact quote
from preston okay
so we'll just take along forrest
you know lots of people have asked me
lots of different questions about
many of the scrapbooks and what i can
tell you about them is that first of all
forrest was having fun writing them
and and he enjoyed it but like everybody
he would run out of subjects to write
about and so he would stop
he just you know he'd write 10 or 12 of
them uh
and then and then he would stop uh
because he ran out of things and after a while
while
he'd come up with another idea for
another 10 or 12 more about something
and and he would he would submit those i
don't specifically remember the date or
time around toe to toe
do i think that he had anything specific
in mind
when he wrote that i don't remember
anything specific about
the two that i remember that he had the
most fun writing
about were the ones in his bathroom
he just really had fun with those and i
think he thought everybody else would
have fun with those too
and uh the one with the
i specifically remember in let me go
back to that bathroom one again
i specifically remember when he wanted
uh to exchange his face with uh
and and and we did that you know we we
we put we pasted brad pitt's face on
there for a while and we took it off and
i think we put somebody else's
face on there for a while not never
trying to make it look good we
it was just supposed to be fun and and
uh and then back to his face i don't
know how it's
how we left it i don't know how it is
now but you know for a while there like
every day we'd put somebody else's face
on there and
and and forest we were just having fun i
mean it was just about fun for forrest
uh he wasn't doing anything uh cryptic or
or
or odd or trying to trick anybody with
that the other thing i remember is the the
the
the the one on with the lake in the
background the pillar in front of him
and the
the rock the floating yeah the floating
hat and the and the grizzly bear in the
back and forest and i talked for a long
time about that one and
i have no idea why he wanted to do that
i just remember him saying something
like can you make that hat float above
my head and i
was so sure you know i did that and then
he'd say
uh oh
he sent me a there was a picture that
and i think i've talked about this
before but
that that rock uh that's in the
foreground that looks like it might be
uh a blaze or it looks like it might be
you know
some something else he's alluding to uh
that was in the in the photo
and so we we had to kind of make it work somehow
somehow
so we put we put part part of forest
behind it
and um then
after after the picture was up there and posted
posted
he said well let's put a grizzly bear in
there somewhere
the only place i could see to put a
grizzly bear was in the lake so
i found a picture of a bear swimming and
we threw him in the lake
i mean these were forests ideas
i i come i did them for him
but there was nothing i don't you know
if there are any hints in there
there could be i just followed orders i didn't
didn't
i didn't question i didn't say what why
do you want a grizzly bear in there i
don't remember what the story was about
and i don't you know he never told me
those things he was just having fun
and and he enjoyed it and i enjoyed it too
too
the symbol for wyoming is a cowboy
holding his hat
a floating hat in the air if you want to reverse
reverse
engineer everything now you can
whether or not that was intentional who
we'll we'll never know
that's right we'll never know certainly
i don't know i was just
i was just having fun with forrest and
and and
uh and having and letting him have fun
uh with the scrapbooks you know he would
make a request and i would do it and he
would laugh and laugh and
it was fun do you guys
do any of you think that there were any
legitimate hints
placed in any of the scrapbooks i know
that a lot of folks
tended to analyze and perhaps
overanalyze those
to try and extract information from
those and
obviously it's possible as it could have
been but in your opinion do you think
any of the scrapbooks contained anything
of value
beyond just fun uh that's a real good
segue into the doodles
because amy what what scrapbook was it
that i sent you to go with the doodle
about the that was i'm just about to
pull up and i'll play this
my i might even get a piercing someplace
that was the mirror on the car him
telling everybody the nez purse trail
and the only reason i mean that's
confirmation bias for me
um if you show the doodle
then people will understand why i
thought before you show that doodle
let me just say that i don't know
whether or not there were any
clues in any of those scrapbooks i won't
rule it out
forrest was having fun and it wouldn't
surprise me a bit
if he didn't write some kind of a hint
or a clue
into some of those scrapbooks but i
certainly don't know about it and i
don't think that was
uh an intent for him all along i think
all he was doing was sharing information
and and having fun by writing stories
that he thought people would like to hear
make sense yep okay
i've got a lot of a lot of things
pulling up here give me just one
second i want to make sure i've got
every okay so
let me know i had to fix the audio again
let me know if i start echoing
okay and okay so first let's pull
up the douglas preston one
that one there we go can you guys see that
yes okay so this is exactly what was on there
there
i had to crop it so that other people's
comments weren't shown
yeah it still seems to me like he's
alluding to this particular article
being fiction because he's saying other
articles other authors of fiction
beyond what's currently being presented so
so
kind of strange the others so like
instead of saying
and authors of fiction he says and
other authors of fiction is that why
that's why i questioned it i mean when
you read it that way
i mean i it sounded like he was saying
this is fiction
okay i'm going back to the chat everyone and
and
that's a lot of orange amy seeks
um k-pro says other authors of fiction
exactly what we were just talking about
um wave seeker but he's calling it fiction
fiction
he said fiction okay uh i do not see the
information on the author's guild
there we go there's the information
there sorry i'm a little late here
asked dale the question about toe to toe
did okay
douglas preston comment was a troll i
looked at the account
and that was the only post
yeah that actually could be i actually
checked that and it looked like the
account was established fairly recently
i mean
and i guess i suppose it's also possible that
that
you know maybe he has insider knowledge
about the finder maybe the finder
himself is also an author of fiction
work i i don't know
maybe the finder is also a writer
somehow somebody
suggested maybe he's like a travel
writer but it yeah if it's a new
if it's a new account you know that
leans towards it being potentially
because um there were several other
accounts and comments that said things
like the finder
and other people's names that weren't
real people's names that were famous people
people
and stuff so obviously you can put
something fake together so we don't so
this one then is a 50 50. we don't know
if it's douglas or not
we'll just have to wait for uh cynthia
let me call him here quick i i can i can
tell you something that
forrest told me about about doug um
it was a while back it wasn't too long ago
ago
uh just probably just oh
probably after the chest was found but before
before
somebody accused oh somebody
forrest doug said somewhere that he knew
where the chest was
i don't do does anybody remember where
and also tankersley you guys remember
tankersley the guy that
he wrote the book with i think he's an
archaeologist at the university of cincinnati
cincinnati
right and tankersley said pretty much
the same thing
and i i i asked forrest about that i
said tankersley's been
talking about this and he said he knows
where the treasure chest is
and forrest got all huffy he said where did
did
he say that ken tankersly is that his
name and and
and and he said where did he say that and
and
and i i showed him where tankersley had
written that
and and forrest said to me
he doesn't know anything about where
that chest is
and uh i'm gonna talk to him okay
and when i said and then i said
something about well
oh by the way doug's been mentioning
that he knows where the chest is
and forrest laughed and said doug has no
idea where that chest is at
i never really thought douglas knew and
speaking of
ken tankersley uh that was part of the
conversation i had with
forrest also at his house the end of august
august
i mentioned a force that there was drama
in the chase world drama llama
because uh ken supposedly
said somehow or somewhere to someone
that he knew where fenn had the treasure
because one time they had been out
excavating together
and four said to ken this is a place
where i'd like to die or something to
like those words and therefore can
thinks or thought supposedly then that
means and it was in wyoming
so supposedly then ken believed that he
knew where the treasure chest was located
located
based on forest telling him that 30
years ago
that this is the place i want to die oh right
right
and when i told this deforest forest
just basically
said there's no way in hell ken knows
where that chest is
so and this is like the same kind of
thing when sarmay
said to me as signing forget
that forest took her to a place and said
this is where i want to die
i was so new back then and such an idiot
i posted it online that
people went nuts they called poor old
sarmay at home
saying demanding what did you tell
cynthia and blah blah blah
and that created such a stink that force
made me
clean up and so i understand
people thinking that if they were around
forest you know
20 30 40 years ago and he said something
like that maybe at the time
he meant it but forced swore up and down
no one ever no one else ever knew where
that chest was hidden
right now a quick as there's someone in
the chat saying
ken tankersley and forrest uh
travel together in archaeological
pursuit of a few things having to do
with his
the forrest fenn cash and
ken and forrest wrote a book together
do you remember the title of that book cynthia
cynthia
uh not off hand i i knew when this hit
this was so
when all this drama hit like a month or
two ago uh
i knew then but i don't remember okay i
tell you what you guys go ahead and fill
the void i'll go into
i'm going to go to the cabin and grab
the book so i can show the title oh
you've got something
in search of ice age isn't it in search
of ice cream
excellent that's it let's see it that's cool
cool
yeah i agree let's see it okay i'll be
right back
so anyone else who is unfamiliar with
the uh what was it called the the fen cache
cache
that was a cache of arrowheads um and
you can
actually just type in fan cache and
you'll see a beautiful picture of all
these all these arrowheads that had been found
found
wasn't one of them like clear courts or
something stunning
yeah and they were points right so
they're actually
i'm not a collector so we're right not
attacking the points not actual
arrowheads and
i mean it's so so valuable
um okay and we have some more questions
from chat oh don't forget my doodle
chasing india as soon as we get to
doodles we'll start yeah we'll start the
doodles flowing
and if you go into facebook um under the
doodle mania
a lot of people start posting their
doodles so you can see a lot of
different doodles from forest it was
kind of cool
um mentor what is the one thing dale and
cynthia think the general community
didn't understand about fenn
that they wish they would obviously
we'll have to wait for dale but
cynthia well for me it was his sense of humor
humor
and dale just sort of touched on this
now too i don't think anybody
if if you didn't really get to know
forrest you might
maybe from some of the interviews you
you could get just a touch of it but
i don't think so much but when you
actually got to know him
he was really funny and uh there were a
couple times he actually told sasha and
me dirty jokes
and the first time the first time i was
sort of
i mean i wasn't super new to being
around him
but um i never had seen that side of him before
before
yeah what's the joke synthetic
uh i actually don't remember the whole
joke but the punchline had to do with
okay i may have
i may have missed upside down dale but
we still get the idea
i may have misspoken so forrest's name
is not on this
but when i read the book i i think i
thought that because so much of the book
takes place with forrest
traveling with him wow
uh it's a used book so i probably got it
on ebay
that's a nice one i'll have to take a
look at it it is a fun book
and there's a lot there's a he he talks
quite a bit he and
forrest were traveling around in wyoming
i think looking for
a a site of red ochre that uh
yeah many of his clovis points were
coated in
oaker right he did at least two or three
scrap books
forested on this guy and the red ochre
i mean i think there might have been
three scrap books
that had to do with the ken guy that
forrest talked about
wow so now let's get back to doug preston
preston
that's really let's start oh and by the way
way
doug preston don't you dare yeah yeah he
didn't get forward right
yeah yeah he he he did the forward on
this look at that
forward by douglas preston yes oh there
we go
conspiracy i have to answer a quick
question in chat
um because i can says amy 6 were you
ever in
scrapbooks uh in a scrapbooks
i'm guessing if you're asking if any of
them were about me i did ask
forrest that once and he said i forget
what it was it was something like if i
told you i'd have to kill you or it was
his response was something like that
so i don't know he left me wondering
um let's see if there's any other do the
panel agree the lamar
valley this far minotaur moreno the
lamar valley ojo caliente
to down the madison river in wyoming the
sunlight basin chief joseph highway
are the three most likely heidi spots right
i think some of those are and speaking
of that is alan
going to be on the show yeah um so i
sent him the zoom fight
um but i don't know you know he's got
family and all that stuff going on too
so who knows
who knows i'll uh hopefully and if i see
him in chat i'll let you know
uh chasing and he says can you ask dale
if fenn ever mentioned
at the doctor at to him
fenn mentioned it to myself and others
i don't i don't know what that means
okay chasing india elaborate on that
i know i'm behind on questions i'll try
and keep up while still letting you guys talk
talk
um wasn't that fenn's doctor uh
at some point or or his friend that was
a doctor that had come up to
i think wyoming or montana to search
does that sound is that her question
candy's questions about
trump's doctor that's certainly yeah
well she needs to specify okay specify
michael steven
stefan uh says could you thank dale for the
the
finding carl story that was awesome oh
it was please ask cynthia this question
will we ever hear from any of the fenn family
family
i have no idea yeah that's
oh m-e-h michael cool is in the room hi michael
michael
arigato oh wait what is it where he is
is it konichiwa or is it
ohio let us know anyway he says
question for dale if it hasn't been
answered already
how did you hear of the finder's article
where you contacted directly
uh no somebody sent me a link to the article
and and i went there and looked
and uh oh well no
no i take that back well how did i find
it cynthia did you tell me about it this morning
morning
yes i called you immediately yeah and i
didn't know about it before then did i
no no so it was cynthia okay you forgot
that cynthia how can you forget a call
uh you know you're talking to a pretty
old guy here okay
i make that joke because you i've been
making mistakes all day because of
so many things going on and like you
know when i went live before
it was because everyone was just like go
live now
so the real question you should be
asking michael is how did
hmm cynthia [Laughter]
[Laughter]
i have people that call me
you have people you have people good people
that is an excellent question you know cynthia's
cynthia's
always my source of information i don't
know why you're asking me this
cynthia cynthia uh
for cynthia knew that that forrest had
died and was the person to call me and
tell me i didn't know about it
until she called me and and i didn't
know about this article until putting
cynthia in the hot seat
absolutely getting uncomfortable i will
not give up my sources
okay so k-pro has a question but i don't
understand exactly what it means
uh she says forrest gave him rights to
the academic
authorship and f got his side of the cut
winky face i don't know what that means
what i'll read it again forrest gave him
rights to the academic authorship
and and f got his side of the cut
winky face i think it's something
playful but
okay specified k bro i i'm sorry i did
not convey that right i don't know what
it means
um i may be responding to something we
were talking about
uh maybe the tankersley book like before
or something
right i know i'm i'm trying to catch up
you might be talking about ken
tankersley and and the fact that he his
name is on the book and not forests
okay all right and you can specify cabro
and like i say i know i'm behind but um
i actually have a story from forrest
about the tanker sleep in that book
so so they're just frozen that book that
is first i guess uh somebody doesn't
want you to tell us that story
oh no it's it must be you dale we can
see her oh my frozen darn
somebody doesn't want me to know about
that story
so so cut tail off so
dale the book you just showed horace
was part of that hunt right he's just not
not
credited as being an author is that
correct that's correct yeah so forrest
was telling me
since i brought up ken anyway we had a
really good visit that day
he was telling me that the way he got
the fen cash
was oh this this wasn't
i don't know who it was now anyway so
he's out out in the boonies with some
old man and his
kid and they and the boy and and the boy
like a
15 or 16 year old boy they were working
on um some real real old beat up pickup truck
truck
they could the kid was having a hard
time getting it running
blah blah blah blah and forrest said
to them how would you like to have a
brand new pickup truck
for the fin cash or something like that because
because
i don't know if i'm even allowed to be
telling this but
i don't think there's anything wrong
maybe i shouldn't go there but
i you know what could happen now huh
i heard a different story about that did
you hear something about that though
i have heard that but i didn't think
that was defend cash he acquired
something that was worth so much more yeah
yeah
yeah incredible and all he had to do was
by the
the father and the son a brand new truck
and he got
a collection that was valued way way more
more
than that truck ever would have cost
he knew how to deal to get what he wanted
wanted
right working it yeah and what did you
hear dale that was different
i don't even remember if mine is about
the fenn cash but i thought it was
and but i thought he wrote this story uh oh
oh
well he might have it might be in one of
the scrapbooks yeah it might be
there's something where there were there
were a couple of guys that were
at uh they they showed up at uh
at another gallery i think
uh with this collection of clovis points
that were crudely mounted on a piece of plywood
plywood
that's the one i heard okay yeah and
and uh he had him come over to his gallery
gallery
he he bought them i can't remember it
was a pretty substantial amount of money
i mean he gave him quite a bit of money
for it i'm gonna say a hundred thousand
bucks but i don't know that that's
the actual figure and and and acquired
it that way
and later on he went and visited them
and they showed him where his their
father had had it tacked up on the wall
uh his their father had found it they
didn't know where
it had been in the family house for as
long as they could remember
i think that is one of the actual
stories because i've heard that and i
probably read it or something
but i mean then what is cynthia's i mean
well there was you know there were a
couple of fen caches actually i mean
there there's one that's called the fen
cache but there was another one that was found
found
down on um down
on this off of the snake river south of uh
uh
yellowstone lake um
and and and
i don't know i don't remember exactly
what that's called
i wish i knew because for a long time i
believe that that may have been the
place where
he hid the the chest
oh wow obviously i don't
no i don't think about it but i mean
conjecture but still yeah yeah
i was trying to quick little thing from
allen k cynthia
allen k says i'm coming on soon i got
uh chasing andy says uh amy seeks asked justin
justin
if fenn talked to him about trump's
doctor searching for the treasure and
oh sorry my internet cut out there i
think i heard my name though what was that
okay i have no idea what this is about
is this a question that shouldn't be asked
asked
i don't know what was the question
oh you're serious i thought you were
being funny yeah no it actually did cut out
out
uncanny timing that's pretty funny
okay so basically she was asking if you
okay wait no let me read this so i get
it right
asked justin if fenn talked to him about
trump's doctor
searching for the treasure and what he
said to justin
uh he he didn't mention trump's doctor
to me but i did read about it
that's that's how i knew from earlier
there you go um oh
shoot so when i was talking to michael
hool in japan
he said it's but then it's all in in kanji
kanji
it's in you know it's not in english so
i have no idea what it is because i
don't know kanji
if i even have kanji right that is the
word for the script right
i don't know if that's kambawa or ohio because
because
um so i'll say them all three again um
nomadic madman who is cynthia cynthia is

and ask the questions from the chat
so we don't get so far behind okay okay
i know i mean if i scroll down holy crap
i'm trying my best people though but at
the same time letting everyone talk who
has information
um uh forrest once said that there was
several things he sent to tale that dale
decided not to post
can you tell us some of those things um and
and
any reason why uh you weren't interested
in posting
no accusations intended just curious
forrest said a lot of things and a lot
of them about me
had to do with getting me in trouble
forest generation in my generation as well
well
you know you don't know somebody likes
you until they start giving you a hard time
time
and and and forrest did that with me oftentimes
oftentimes
uh and that was one of those situations
trust me if flora sent me something and
wanted it posted
what kind of a fool would i be not to
post it
there was nothing for a cent that i
didn't post
sometimes he and i would discuss a piece
and he would decide not to post it
but it wasn't me who made that decision
it was him
and sometimes he po he would write a
piece i mean oftentimes he would write a
piece and he would ask me to edit it and
i might find something in there that
that i would
say needed clarification or i didn't
quite know what it meant and i'd
i'd suggest that he rewrite it and he would
would
but no there would he did not send me a
bunch of stuff that i refused
to super secret hints
the keyword phrase is for secret hints
yeah i mean come on folks i didn't find
the chest and and and if he'd have given
me any
any information that i could have used
to find it uh
you know i i'd have it by now but oh
where's this
where's the solution there yeah that's
that is the number one evidence for
anyone who is frustrated by someone
having information before they did
they don't have the chest hey justin you

alan whether or not he actually had the nez purse trail
he actually had the nez purse trail crossing creek any of those things in
crossing creek any of those things in his solves
to be flat out honest never nev's purse i mean i know i found familiar with that
i mean i know i found familiar with that solve and i know k-pro
solve and i know k-pro was huge on that salt i am a strictly
was huge on that salt i am a strictly north east yellowstone searcher
north east yellowstone searcher so my question back to you cynthia is
so my question back to you cynthia is did you ever go through the northeast
did you ever go through the northeast corner of yellowstone in 2018
corner of yellowstone in 2018 and maybe i did i i
and maybe i did i i used that way to get to cody often and
used that way to get to cody often and um
um or not often but i actually
or not often but i actually even in um when i when i was this in
even in um when i when i was this in cody lately
cody lately i almost always have a day or two that i
i almost always have a day or two that i leave cody and go into the park i mean
leave cody and go into the park i mean if
if if i'm going to be that close to
if i'm going to be that close to yellowstone i don't not go into
yellowstone i don't not go into yellowstone i love it so much there
yellowstone i love it so much there so i used oh i went through
so i used oh i went through cook city and silvergate many times
cook city and silvergate many times since 2017 i've i've traveled and
since 2017 i've i've traveled and doesn't
doesn't and if you're going to use the analogy
and if you're going to use the analogy as if he's implying something in your
as if he's implying something in your back pocket
back pocket doesn't like a hidden corner of
doesn't like a hidden corner of yellowstone maybe relate more to it than
yellowstone maybe relate more to it than something that's right in front of your
something that's right in front of your face like if you're searching this
face like if you're searching this pierce
pierce and he's telling you it's in your back
and he's telling you it's in your back pocket i would i would assume it's
pocket i would i would assume it's in a hidden corner of where you're
in a hidden corner of where you're actually looking down
actually looking down that's you know i just walked in here so
that's you know i just walked in here so sorry
sorry that's my immediate thought on the back
that's my immediate thought on the back pocket analogy there
pocket analogy there yeah no i like it that's why i wanted to
yeah no i like it that's why i wanted to talk to you
talk to you it almost looks like you know you're
it almost looks like you know you're carrying a yellow stone right like
carrying a yellow stone right like yeah yeah a little yellow stone right
yeah yeah a little yellow stone right but the chest
but the chest yeah i think it's the same exact color
yeah i think it's the same exact color as the chest that he had me jumping over
as the chest that he had me jumping over to
to so he used the same marker to draw the
so he used the same marker to draw the big chest
big chest that i'm jumping across the creek to as
that i'm jumping across the creek to as it's the same color as what he put in my
it's the same color as what he put in my back pocket
back pocket but yeah no i i love allen what you just

whether or not like you're actually able to get across this precipice or if
able to get across this precipice or if if you know you weren't meant to i don't
if you know you weren't meant to i don't i don't know that's
