#0181- Forrest Fenn and the Treasure Hunt That Never Ends - 03/31/2025
Good morning, my peeps. What up? It's Victor Wilt. It's definitely a Monday here. Got my second monitor not working yet again, so I'm gonna have to do some tinkering with that.
Yay. Yay for that. Anyway, aside from that, just looking for things to share with you. I was reading through a thread, and, it kinda aggravated me. You should never dive into something relating to sleep at 6AM on a Monday morning.
And the thread was called people who don't hit snooze in the morning. What is your secret? Why why do I even care? Because I'm the guy who hits snooze a lot. Alright?
Does it make it better? No. I don't think it does. I don't think you really get much extra sleep. I mean, I don't know.
Every little bit counts when you're me. Ugh. So, you know, what what kind of tips am I gonna get in here to to just be real? Yeah. Jump out of bed right when it goes off.
Right? That that's the secret. Just get up and don't push snooze. You know, people are saying things like, well, hearing the alarm again in ten minutes is more annoying than just getting up. I don't know.
The alarm is as annoying every single time. So I I don't know. The first one is definitely always the most annoying. You know, generally, I just hit snooze until I see a time on there that makes me panic a little bit. And if I counted on the first alarm to wake me up, then I wouldn't worry about it much, but I don't really count on that.
You know? I sometimes that first alarm, I don't remember hitting snooze, so I can't really set it as the latest alarm, but well, I guess it would be the only one, the latest time. Yeah. This person says, I never understood snooze for that reason. If I wanted to go back to sleep, I would rather reset my alarm for thirty to sixty minutes.
Well, yeah. That's not an option. The time I gotta get up. And one person said some things that make some sense, like, oh, my dog will start going crazy if I don't get out of bed. You know?
So, my cats, I think they understand the snooze because they don't start really bothering me till I've hit snooze, you know, three times. Then they're like, alright. We know what this means. Come on. Give us that food.
Get up. Again, why am I talking about this at this time of day? This is like, you know, probably the worst kind of break to do for the first day or the first break of the show on a Monday. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
But it it's what I stumbled across. Now the the best way to ensure that you get up without pushing snooze, I think, is to have somebody else sleeping in the room. You know? Because they're gonna, like, smack you if you start hitting snooze over and over again. Like, just get out of bed.
What are you doing? You're driving me crazy. That's the only way that I personally can think of being able to wake up the first time my alarm's going off, and that's to have someone else in the room that I would feel guilty for, punishing with the snooze button. So, thankfully, generally, I don't have to even have an alarm set because I'm on vacation or something if I've got people. You know?
My lady's staying at my house. So, yeah, that's the best way to live. Have a schedule where you don't need to use an alarm. Oh, how would that be? Not for this shift.
That's for sure. So let's talk about the Chevelle tickets we're giving away this week. If you didn't hear, band's gonna be right here in East Idaho popping up at the Mountain America Center on Tuesday, September 30. And what you need to do is brush up on those emojis. Alright.
This is, a little bit different style giveaway. What you need to do is get the k Bear one zero one app and sign up for, you know, messages from K Bear. Every morning at 7AM this week, Peaches is gonna blast out a special message with a group of emojis in a row. And if you can decipher what the song title is that the emojis are symbolizing, at some point during the day, we'll ask for caller number 20, and then caller number 20 gets the first guess. These could be songs from Chevelle, Asking Alexandria or dead poet society, all of the bands on the bill.
So, you know, they're they're gonna be songs you're familiar with. So just, you know, look at the emojis, figure out what song it is, and then be ready to call when we throw that cue to call out there. Hopefully, you could win some tickets to the show. Chevelle asking Alexandria and dead poet society at the mountain America center again, Tuesday, September 30. Tickets are on sale now.
You can find the link to buy those tickets in our app or by visiting riverbendmediagroup.com. Alright. We'll be back. So speaking of Motley Crue and, well, no. It it wasn't the shout at the devil tour.
I think Lou said it was the doctor feel good tour. Anyway, I mentioned last week I've been listening to Lou Brutus's, audiobook a bit. You can find that on Spotify if you have the, Spotify premium. And, you know, I recommend buying the book from Lou's website. It's an excellent read if you've never checked it out.
Has all of Lou's wildest rock and roll stories. And the one I most recently listened to was about when Lou did a couple nights, you know, doing stage time, introducing motley crew, I believe, in Providence, Rhode Island. It's some arena there, and he tells the story of Nick the pig. What is that all about? Well, you'll have to listen to the audiobook or buy the actual book itself and give it a read.
It it pretty funny stuff. Also, if you're a, you know, aspiring personality of any sort, whether that be doing like YouTube content or radio or whatever. You're, you're gonna find some great tips and tricks in there. Some great advice from, you know, radio legend, rock radio legend, Lou Brutus. So it's been very enjoyable to listen to.
I've read the book, but it's a little bit different when it's Lou himself telling you the story. So listening to that book is kinda like hanging out with Lou Brutus outside of work because he uses naughty language and things like that. So you can get a little bit of insight into what Lou's like off the air. And, you know, hear these stories that I guarantee he doesn't tell on the air because they're just so crazy. So Lou Brutus, sonic warrior, my life as a rock and roll reprobate.
Buy it. Go to Lou's website. Check it out. Or, you know, if you wanna give it a preview, you can always do the audiobook if you have Spotify premium. So I don't know about the other streaming services, but, yeah, been having a good time checking that out.
Good day to you. Thank you for your company. Hope you had an awesome weekend. Mine was it was busy. It was busy, but it was really good.
However, by, you know, yesterday, I was just exhausted. And then I noticed this morning, I did a lot of, walking and being on my feet this weekend, and I am out of shape. My legs are sore. Good to get some exercise, though. So Friday night, went to the benefit show at the gym, for Ryan Johnson's family and saw a number of bands play.
Saw a brand new band called Flora. That was cool. Anytime you get to see a young group's first show, I don't know. There's just something special about it. I remember my first show.
It was pretty wild. It was opening up for the Jim Rose circus sideshow at the roach motel in Pocatello. And I guess I shouldn't say opening because we actually closed the show. If you're not familiar with the Jim Rose Circus, basically a freak show. Is that, okay to say nowadays?
I mean, that's I don't know. That's what they build themselves as. It was crazy. Just look up videos on YouTube of the, Jim Rose circus. You could see what I'm talking about there.
Has to be one of the most insane shows you could possibly have as your first ever show. The first real band we opened for was, static x, so that was pretty cool. I got spoiled back in the day. I really did. Most bands' first shows, you know, you're just playing a local show.
I don't know how we got so lucky opening up for touring bands when we had no experience and we weren't very good, but we'd we'd made the best of it, you know, tried to, keep people entertained. And I thought it went over good, you know, but I'm sure if I saw a video of it, I'd be like, oh, wow. We were pretty sloppy. So, some of the other bands that played Friday night, passage of Acheron and Godbone, there was a, like, kind of bluegrass style thing or something. I can't remember the name of the band.
I'm sorry. It's my bad, but it was a fun night. It was a fun night getting to hang out with the local scene, help raise some money for a good cause, hang out with my homie, Dan Ditto, which is always a good time. And then I made my made sure to get myself to bed at a reasonable time because Saturday, cruise down to the make them suffer show with Ben from the advocates and Jade, and it was a blast. You know, always nice hanging out with a good crew of people, having fun, and seeing an awesome show.
They also had another show going on in the complex at the same time, the band movements and some others. So we popped over and checked out a little bit of that here and there but, all the bands at the show we showed up to see were just awesome. Make them suffer killed it, Like Monster Flames was great. Aviana opened up the show and they were awesome. Wind Waker was really cool as well.
Yeah. Didn't get in the pit, but when Make them Suffer was playing, Ben and I did run through the pit to get up front and, enjoyed watching the show from the front of the stage until the sea of crowd surfers began. There was one point where it was like we were trapped in a time loop, which is bam. Crowd surfer after crowd surfer. It was just pretty much my hands over my head doing my best to use my forearms to, you know, not get kicked in the face.
So, yeah, I I feel like I got a a pretty good overall core workout. You know, arms are kinda sore from the crowd surfer mayhem. Legs are sore from walking Salt Lake. Because if you've never been to Salt Lake, you know, you look on a map and you're like, okay. Our hotel is five blocks away.
A Salt Lake City block is not like a block in any other city in America. They're like I don't know how many normal blocks long they are, but, yeah we we got some good exercise so that was nice and then middle of the night you know we we were actually still awake you know just just chatting it up and stuff and all of a sudden, the fire alarm goes off in our hotel about 01:30. It's like, oh, I'm just about to go to bed. So next thing you know, we're down on the street with everybody from in the hotel just kinda going, what's happening? And, you know, Jade and I did smell what smelled like an electrical fire.
You know, that burning wire smell or burning electronics. Yeah. Something was going on, but thankfully, we only had to stay outside till, like, I don't know. It was probably two in the morning or something. You know?
And we were already awake, like I said, so we weren't as miserable as these families with little little kids and stuff. So bad for the families with the little kids. I mean, it it wasn't terribly cold outside, thankfully, but it wasn't what I would call nice outside either. So after all that, then you're, you know, waiting inside because for some reason, only one of the elevators was working of the massive two elevators they have. And we had already been joking about the elevators since we got there because it seemed like they had ghosts in them.
They'd be stopping at floors for no reason. It took forever to use these elevators. So when they got down to only one working to start letting people back to their rooms, yeah, it took forever. So I don't know exactly how late I was up Saturday night, but it was way too late. And yesterday, I was just just hating it and tired.
And then you got the drive back home. Oh, we left it, I don't know, probably ten. You know? Got some sleep, but, boy, I was exhausted. And I got a lot to get done this week, so I'm really hoping I get some kind of, a first wind.
Haven't had a first wind this morning. I pounded some coffee, but the weekend just, drained me. But it was a great time with great people, and I'm I'm really happy I was able to do it. You know, trying to get myself out of the house more. Lots of people were really excited to see me at both shows and said really nice things.
So, you know, I need to stop being a hermit, and I've I've been doing pretty good with it recently. So, yeah, I should probably do it more often just to be on my feet because apparently, yeah, I'm out of shape. Anyway, there was my weekend recap. Be back in a minute. Button not working.
Come on. Come on. If you've ever been to Utah, you know you can occasionally see some weird things happen. You know? It's kind of a strange place.
Lot of different types of people. Though we don't usually get a lot of crazy news out of Provo. Yeah. Only thing I know about Provo is that I'm always very excited to get past Provo when driving to, say, Vegas because finally, the traffic starts letting up. Yeah.
It's just jam packed from about the time you hit Tremont and all the way to South Of Provo, so I'm always very happy to leave Provo. I've never really hung out in the actual city. Just maybe hit the gas station, pick up some liquid cheese. Yeah. Get some nachos.
Okay. Anyway, be careful hitting up some restaurants in Provo. You never know what you're gonna see. You might have bumped into Ralph Lauren, twenty four year old man who was arrested after walking into a Provo restaurant naked, holding a gun, and flexing his muscles aggressively. Oh, yeah.
Good. Jeez. This happened on a Saturday afternoon. Apparently, someone saw him taking off his clothes at Bicentiel Park near the restaurant. And, yeah, he was just kinda walking around in there, flexing his muscles aggressively, and following people.
Ugh. You know, you stop to get some lunch in Provo, then you've got a naked Provo man following you around and aggressively flexing his muscles. I thought at first when they said, you know, somebody said he had a gun that, they just didn't wanna say what they were, really seeing. No. He had an actual gun, but, facing a lot of charges.
I tell you what. There there are a few places you don't want to be naked in public. Idaho's probably the number one place. Utah gotta be a a very close number two. Right?
I don't know all of the different laws because they seem to be making new laws all the time, but, I don't recommend you go out in public naked. You're going to go to jail and you're going to end up on a list and probably the news. Alright? People talking about you nationwide, you don't wanna be an embarrassment to your family. So if you want to be outside naked, you need to go to one of the places where it's appropriate to do so.
You gotta pay your way into some kind of a nude resort, something like that. Not random Provo Restaurant. That's jail time, buddy. Alright. Let's dive into a little bit of freak news action.
Having the issue this morning where one of my monitors just isn't working. So, yeah, I don't I don't remember where I store the freak news intro, outside of where it's easy to find. So yeah. No. Here you go.
Good enough intro. Okay. Let's see where we wanna begin here. How do I describe this one on air? There's a neighborhood in Pennsylvania where, I guess, they were worried about drivers traveling too too quickly.
You know, there's kids in the neighborhood, so they wanted to try to slow people down. So they changed the lanes on the road to these just wavy lines. Looking at the photos here, oh, it just would give me a headache if I rolled up on this road because you gotta just swerve back and forth and back and forth. People are saying most people are just driving straight through it anyway. So, good luck to them on that working.
Can't you just put up the slow children. You put, you know, a speed limit sign or park a cop there, arrest some people, give out some tickets, and, you know, eventually people settle down. I don't know. I mean, I do like that it's different. Not every day you roll up on a road where the the lines are just nonsensical and wave all over the place even though the road itself is straight.
But yeah. Yeah. I don't know if we'll be seeing that one around here. Hopefully, we won't be seeing this one around here. Some guy has every week in Portland opened up his garbage can and found it full of just gallons of bottles of pee.
Like, I don't know why he took them out of the garbage can, I guess, to show them off for the news? Got, seven jugs, all of which are at least a gallon, and he can't figure out why. I can't figure out why either. That I mean, that's a lot of pee. You know, is this one person to blame?
An entire family? Got some kind of a weird cult in the neighborhood? I don't know. So anyway, how about putting some cameras out there, buddy? That's how I find out if anybody's doing anything weird in my neighborhood.
Yeah. I'll get motion detected. I would know if someone was dumping gallons of pee into my garbage can. Thankfully, they're in bottles, you know, but still, it's gross. Oh, a neighbor did have surveillance video.
I missed this line, but it's grainy and hard to tell. Yeah. In this day and age, you should be able to afford a camera with, good quality images. So, yeah, don't go cheap on that. They've gotten to be way more affordable.
Let's see. Don't fly out of Washington DC. Delta plane nearly collided with an air force jet at that same airport where two planes collided a while back and sixty seven people were killed. Can we get our airports under control? Alright.
I got people, that I know who will be doing a little bit of traveling soon. I don't like all these, airline collision stories popping up as of late. Oh, jeez. You'd think if they had one incident in that particular airspace, They'd be working to keep things a little bit more on track. Also, Washington DC, the nation's capital, probably a place where they need to keep a good watch on our skies.
I don't know what's going on there, but I would not wanna take a flight out of Washington DC. And then, you know, I'm into collecting books. Most people have something that they enjoy collecting. You should probably avoid, collecting all of the elements in the periodic table. I don't know what the law is in America, but in Australia, you can't be loading up on plutonium.
And this guy, Emmanuel Liddon, I guess he ordered some off of, Amazon. Well, now he's, facing charges of breaching nuclear nonproliferation laws. Yeah. He he could go to jail for up to ten years, and he's like, no. I'm just, you know, into the science.
I just collect the elements. Well, you gotta check out your local laws before you start ordering up the, plutonium. Yeah. Ordered a sample from a US based science website, and, yeah. They just raided his house immediately and dragged him in.
Yeah. Stick with books. You know? Something that well, okay. Never mind.
You know, with what they've done with books in the last couple years, there could potentially become a point where if you own certain books, they raid your house and take you to jail. Wouldn't surprise me at all, at least not around here. You know, the news and the world have gotten to be so unhinged and crazy that you just don't know what you're pulling up. If it's true or not. And, you know, I'm scrolling through the news and I stumble across this article and I'm all tired and I'm like, what is going on?
What? Okay. Here's the headline. Spare human bodies grown in artificial wombs in lab as scientists insist bodyoids feel no pain and conserve as meat. That's a real news headline.
Yeah. Cutting edge scientists have unveiled a disturbing plan to grow soulless spare human bodies that can be used for medical experiments and even meat. Oh, yeah. Well, you know, normally I wouldn't eat people but it doesn't have a soul. It doesn't even feel any pain.
It's fine. Let's make ourselves a nice bodyoid sandwich. What is going on? Where is this? Alright.
You got these scientists, Karsten Charlesworth, Henry Greeley, and Hiramitsu Nakauchi, making a bizarre pitch for this in the MIT Technology Review, and they're saying, you know, I know it sound weird, but this is gonna revolutionize medicine because we could test out new medicines and growing human organs for transplants. Alright. I I don't know what the baby steps to get to this point are, but I don't feel like there have been any baby steps. We jumped from, what, maybe a growing fake hamburger, You know, in a lab too. Okay.
Let's just grow some soulless people. I have a feeling they're gonna face some, ethical challenges on this one. Yeah. Especially if they're trying to make them for food. But believe in research.
People are gonna be like, what if they do have a soul? How do you know? This is crazy. What? Well, anyway, if I get any updates on this, I'll let you know.
But this is a real in-depth news story here. If you wanna dive in, just search for bodyoids on Google News. I don't know how I feel about that one. It definitely does sound weird. Because imagine that these, you know, supposedly soulless humans, what what if they aren't soulless or, you know, even if we're not talking about souls because who knows what what that means.
Okay. Let's just talk about brain function. K? You know, even if they can't feel pain, if they're aware and they're, you know, strapped down, they're doing all these tests on them, I that just doesn't sound very, good to me. Just talking about science, Peaches, the Victor Wilt Science News on a Monday.
That's how my focus meetings go with with Jade is that he ties me to the chair and, you know, berates me. Okay. Well I'm just messing. Think they're berating these, soulless bodies just doing medical testing on them, growing supposedly fake people, peaches. This is where we're at with science today.
Yeah. Weird. I already did the whole break, so I'm not gonna recap it. No. You're fine.
I heard you. Yeah. You'll have to dive into this one, man. Alright. Pretty pretty crazy stuff.
How was your weekend? It was good. It was good. Just slept a little bit more, cleaned up more. Oh, that was like the opposite of what I did this weekend.
I experimented with cooking again. Oh, what'd you cook? I, made this olive garden Italian pasta dish in the slow cooker for, like, six hours. Turned out good? Oh, yeah.
Nice. Nice. Yeah. I just, went to shows. That was all I did all weekend was go to shows.
Right. And, yeah, did not get much sleep. I mentioned it earlier. Probably woulda got sleep Saturday night at around 01:30 or so, which is late, but then, fire alarm went off in the hotel. We had to evacuate the hotel at 01:30 in the morning and hang out outside till, I don't know, at least two or so.
There was somebody pranking it. What No. There was there was like, you could smell some kind of an electrical fire. So the fire department was there and everything. Yeah.
I think it's Jade's fault. It could've been. The electrical fires follow him wherever he goes. That's true. That's true.
We did have that outlet shooting sparks recently. Yeah. So, anyway, it it was a good time. Make them suffer was awesome. Show was great.
I figured they would be great. Yeah. It was a wild night. You know, they had two shows in the venue, so the place was just packed to the brim. But, bumped into lots of Kay Bear listeners.
And, yeah, it was a very good time. So, eventually, I'll post some video from it. I was just too tired yesterday to monkey with the socials, but I got some video. Yeah. I came here last night around, like, 10PM because I was freaking out about the, the music being scheduled.
Ah. So I was like, you know what? I'll just go over there and check. No big deal. Well, thanks for not, hitting me up to check from home because I was out cold.
Oh, I know past 8PM. I I can't can't contact you. I I appreciate that. Right. Yeah.
You know, I'm an old man. I go to bed early except on the weekends. Well, there's one Halloween you went to bed, like, at seven. That's true. Sometimes.
I mean, last night, I tried to get into bed at about 07:30. So I don't know exactly when I fell asleep, but I got a proper night of sleep. Good. So I'm a I'm about, 50% today where yesterday, it was, like, 25. Legs hurt from walking.
You know? Ugh. Arms hurt from crowds. Dude, the crowd surfers were out of control. Alright.
Salt Lake is just nuts. Yeah. It's just nuts. But During that Lorna Shore show, there was tons of crowd surfers. So So imagine the same thing for me.
It was in that small room. Yeah. So yeah, you, you know, if you're in the center of the crowd, you're going to be, just pummeled by crowd surfers. At least you don't like me and you won't get the boot to the head if you don't pay attention. I I just stood there like this till they were done.
Till the wave of crowd surfers were done. Put deodorant on. I don't care. It's a metal show. No.
I'm I'm sure I smelled fine. Coworkers. Yeah. Peaches actually told me about this story on Friday. I thought I was gonna throw peaches under the bus.
No. No. Peaches is a good coworker. This person, however, is not Wisconsin man facing felony charges after pouring super glue into his coworkers can of Coca Cola. Joseph Ross.
He's in jail, Dude, super glue. And it was gorilla glue. You know, the extra hardcore super glue. Apparently, they were all working at the Wisconsin state fair park office. And, this woman said that two to three weeks ago, she began to suspect that beverages on her desk were being contaminated by chemical substance.
And she's like, just kind of reeks and it tastes weird. So they set up a camera at her desk and lo and behold, Ross rolls in and, yeah, just squeezes super glue into her Coke. He's wearing latex gloves, I guess, to, cover up fingerprints and things like that. Didn't notice the camera. Yeah.
There are cameras everywhere nowadays, everybody. You're probably gonna get caught doing whatever you do. So they searched his desk, found, in the garbage, the clear protective gloves wrapped up in a ball, pulled them apart and inside of the gloves, the super glue and lid. So, he admitted to putting a supplement is what the article says. I don't think you can call super glue a supplement supplement supplement.
I told you I needed a power nap, but, that seems like it could really mess you up. Super glue on your insides. I don't know how it works. I know what happens when, you know, you get some on your fingers. That sucks, but what a piece of garbage this guy, Joseph Ross, is.
Holy cow. Make you feel a little bit better about your annoying coworker. Alright. You got somebody who bothers you. Long as they are putting super glue into your food, you know, they're probably not that bad.
Holy cow. Well, anyway, just trying to make you feel better about those in the office today. Alright. Let's talk about treasure hunting. Ah, so pumped to dig into some treasure news.
It's been a long time. You know, ever since Forrest Fenn's treasure was found, we had no treasure to talk about. Well, I was stoked to see on Netflix a documentary about the Forrest Fenn treasure pop up, and I, last night, spent the entirety of my evening watching the entire thing. If you're not familiar with the Forrest Fenn treasure, the best way I can now recommend for you to become familiar would be to watch that documentary now available on Netflix. It's in, you know, like, the the top new shows.
It's called Gold and Greed. And back when this treasure hunt was announced, I got pretty into it. Now I never went out boots on the ground as they say, but I did spend a lot of time going over the clues, busting out the maps, and trying to figure out where I thought the treasure was. And I did want to road trip it because it was supposed to be somewhere in the Rocky Mountains north of Santa Fe, New Mexico. And they narrowed it down to four states, which were Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico.
Now my solves for the the clues either put me in Yellowstone National Park or, just on the edge of the Montana, Wyoming border. I had a spot that I thought could be a good location, but then, yeah, somebody found the treasure, so I, never went and looked for it. Now in this documentary, they do get into where this guy, Jason Posey, believes they found the treasure. And it was kind of exciting because that was in Yellowstone, 1 of these specific spots that, I wanted to go look, but it's never been a % verified where this treasure was. And, you know, there's a lot of controversy surrounding it.
Some people died searching for the treasure and such. What do we got? A treasure hunter on the line who wants to talk? Hang on here. K Bear, you are live on the show.
Who's this? Hey. It's Zach. How are we doing? Zach doing pretty good.
Oh, are you calling me back about what you called me about earlier? Yes, sir. Do you want me to call again? No. It'll be fine.
Just wanted to let you know those are available for pickup at the front desk any weekday between, 8AM and 5PM. Oh, that's perfect. Thank you, sir. Alright. There you go, man.
Alrighty. Alright. Peace. Okay. So back to treasure.
Treasure hunting. Okay. What's exciting about this aside from just the fun of, you know, me feeling nostalgic watching this documentary? I mean, I was really into this. If you're a long time listener, I'm sure you've heard me talk about Forrest Fenn's treasure.
What's exciting is at the very end, one of the guys in the show, Jason, announced he has hidden another treasure chest somewhere in the Western US. And he's he's following a similar path, that Forrest Fenn did. He's got the poem with the clues. He's got a book you can pick up that can help you figure out more information. And, you know, at the very end of the documentaries when he mentions this, he has sprinkled clues throughout the documentary for the treasure hunt.
And it's a 60 pound box full of gold and jewels, part of the Forest Fend treasures in there. And where we're in the West, we got easy access to get out and do some searching. Now he hid it, I believe, last year or maybe it was 2023. And I can tell you from my years of experience as a keyboard warrior regarding treasure hunting in the West, it's probably still a little bit early to be getting out there trying to find this. K?
You know, you gotta wait till the the snow melts off. But I was looking at the subreddit that I didn't know existed called treasure hunting, And, there's a lot of people throwing out ideas. Somebody mentioned Island Park. Now I'm really curious. I haven't even read the poem yet.
And I I was watching this when I was trying to get to sleep last night, but, you know, as if I don't have enough to do as, you know, without these kind of distractions because there's something I think it goes back to my love of the movie The Goonies when I was a kid. Something so exciting about treasure hunting. So, again, recommend you watch the documentary, but if you wanna get right to the current treasure hunt, let's see. Let me see if I can find the, link here. It's beyond the maps edge.
I think that's the name of his website. Beyondthemapsedge. Okay. Treasure.quest/en. That's easy enough to remember.
Okay. You gotta, agree to the terms? Sure. Sure. Alright.
Where's the poem? Alright. Here's the clues. I feel like we need The Goonies music on. I know I have The Goonies music somewhere in here.
Where is it? This this is no fun. Not having The Goonies tunes. Alright. Well, it doesn't matter.
We'll we'll just throw something else on. Here's the clues. Can you find what lives in time flowing through each measured rhyme? Wisdom waits in shadowed sight for those who read these words just right. As hope surges clear and bright, walk near water's silent flight.
Round the bend past the hole and alright. I'm seeing a clear right there. Hole is capitalized with an h. Jackson Hole? I don't know.
There's a lot of different, blank holes in the West. I wait for you to cast your pole. Okay. Some, a fishing area. In Ursa East, his realm awaits.
His bride stands guard at ancient gates. Her foot of three at 20 degree return her face to find the place. Alright. Double arcs on granite bold where secrets of the past still hold beyond the reach of time swift race, wonder guards this sacred place. Truth rests not in clever minds, not entangled twisted fines like a river's steady flow.
What you seek, you already know. That's harder than the forest fenpone. I don't even know where to go with that. I need to watch the documentary, find all the clues. The nice thing is that the treasure hunters online get really into this, and they start posting their thoughts and ideas.
And you can use those to kind of get yourself in a new direction. So if you're looking for a hobby, I'm telling you hunting for a treasure. What's more fun than that. And you know, it's not going to be in a dangerous place because you know, they don't want people to die. Alright.
I really gotta get my truck fixed. Now I'm gonna be heading off road. I've I've I gotta get my truck dealt with. I need to treasure hunt. Anyway, that's what I got obsessed with last night.
And, oh boy, it's gonna get wild, gonna get wild. I know I'm not gonna be able to, stop looking at this stuff. So anyway, if you're into that kind of thing, you're welcome. Keep me posted on on your thoughts and yourselves. But, yeah, watch the documentary.
It's it's pretty good. I thought it was good, but I was also really into that when it was a thing. And there's a lot of, crazy treasure hunters out there. They got some, unique characters in the documentary. So, anyway, back in a minute.
Alright. It's apparently treasure hunting day on the Victor Wiltshire. If you're just tuning in, I was talking about the new documentary Golden Greed on Netflix, which outlines the Forrest Fenn treasure. It was a big treasure hunt that went on for about a decade where this, kinda weird guy from New Mexico hid a treasure chest somewhere North Of Santa Fe in the Rocky Mountains, and, eventually, somebody found it. But, you know, after it ended, it was like, oh, it's a bummer.
There's no more treasure hunting going on. And then they announced a new treasure hunt at the end of that documentary, which is pretty cool. And now I know I'm going to be checking out the treasure hunting subreddit and reading everybody's stuff all the time when I should be being productive. Well, anyhow, listener Stewart called me and told me about an ongoing treasure hunt in Idaho that I may have heard of at some point and just forgotten about. I mean, you know me.
My memory's garbage. Let's see. Where did where did that website go? Okay. 40thirdstateofmind.
40 third state of mind Com. There are a number of treasure chests hidden around Idaho. Some of them have been found. Looks like six of them have been found, but there are three more remaining. So, one of them that looks like it's in our area would be the Deception Point treasure chest located, and buried below the forty fifth parallel and east of one fifteen longitude.
Then there are some others that would be in the Panhandle area as well as, Southwestern US. So, the fact that people have found these is pretty cool. Now you're not looking at a pile of booty like you'd get with the Forrest Fenn treasure or the new one that they announced, at the end of that documentary. But looks like they have a value of about $500. So, you know, something fun to get you out of the house and searching around, and maybe you could score yourself some gold and silver worth about $500, peaches.
We're talking treasure, honey. I'll take it. Well, you and your buddies are heading to, you know, Twin Falls later this year. Right. I was reading through some of the speculation on, you know, the this forty third state of mind buried treasure and, you know, the Twin Falls area could be a good place to find something.
Magic Valley, you know? I'll be like that guy on the beach with a metal detector just going along. Well and I haven't dove deep into this website. When I was talking to Stuart, he said he thought that when you get there, they are actually marked with, like, a a red x, so you wouldn't necessarily need a metal detector. I'm thinking for the other treasure I was talking about earlier, metal detector's probably a good idea.
But depending on where you're at, you might not be able to use it. Might be breaking the rules. Right. Like, I don't think you can go into a national park with a a metal detector and just start wandering around. Well, I I don't think you can show up to a national park either with a shovel.
Probably not. Because they don't want you defacing Nate the beauty of it. Yeah. But there are rule breakers out there. And when the forest Fend treasure was found, people thought the guy may have used a metal detector.
They they never even really said for sure where it was found. It was kind of a shady situation. And I assume, like, hiding something in a national park, federal land that's not public land, you would think the government might have some, ability to say that's ours, right, if it was in a national park. So Oh, yeah. Yeah.
That's what made me wonder if maybe it was in Yellowstone and they just never said because the government could go, oh, well, that was on our property. So I would think public land would be a great place to start looking. You know, it's not gonna be on private property or anything like that. Do you believe in those places like a Diamond Park where you can find, like, natural diamonds, or do you think that's all just a a scam to get people to show up there? I well, I mean, we have the Opel lines near here.
Right. But I'm saying, like, this is like there was one time the story popped up of this guy finding a giant diamond just sitting there on the surface. I think I've heard that. That caused a lot of controversy within, like, all of, like, that was totally a setup to get people to pay money to get into this park and, you know, somehow find a diamond just like this guy did. It could be.
I mean, that that sounds like good marketing to me. Some rando going, look at the giant diamond I found. Obviously, that's gonna get people who have a treasure fever heading in. I think there are still gold mining too in Southern California. Oh, there's gold mining all over the, country.
Can you imagine doing that? Haven't you ever watched that show Gold Rush? No. Oh. I got addicted to it for a bit, and I don't know why.
I don't pay attention to the stuff like that in the History Channel, that weird crap, the what's their like, Deadliest Catch of no. I've never watched Deadliest Catch, but I have watched Gold Rush. But that's probably because there's some part of me that is into treasure hunting, you know, and I think it comes from The Goonies like I talked about. Do you have Netflix right now, Peaches? Yes.
I do. Okay. Go watch the, Golden Greed documentary that just came out about the Forest Fend treasure. I was obsessed with that for years and years. Figured out where I thought it was.
And in the documentary, one of the places that I thought was a, good spot turns out to be where they the one guy claims it was likely at. So that made me mad that I'd never, got out and did the boots on the ground and, went and actually looked around. But I also was like, well, would they put it in Yellowstone? Because of all the restrictions and the potential of the government taking it. So We could do a Cave Bear treasure hunt just to have people go crazy.
We've done those things before. But just one big chest that has, like, I don't know, a note that says, come by the studio and win your tickets or something and bury it somewhere. Well, we we've talked about how we hid the rocks back in the day. Yeah. And, you know, I don't remember what prize we had, but at one point, somebody just took the rock Mhmm.
And they never brought it here to get the prize. So I was like, may maybe our prizes weren't cooler than the rock because it was one of those big rocks. Yeah. Yeah, man. It's all engraved.
If I was a listener and saw that cool rock, I feel like I would take it too as, like, some with someone of a souvenir. Yeah. Because it's one of a kind. Well, two of a kind. And, like, you want to have that, like, rare item that no one else has when it comes to, like, your favorite radio station.
Whoever stole the rock, you need to give it back. We won't turn you into the police or anything. We'll give you a prize. But if you have the giant k Bear rock that's engraved that we hid years ago and somebody just stole it. I know I know, like, our our old GM gave me, like, this weird Kaibear jacket that was, like, one of one.
Mhmm. Because it was a two XL and he knew that would fit me. So he just that's, like, my rare Kaibear item is that weird jacket thing that barely fits me, but I like it. Yeah. That's why if we're gonna do, some kind of a find the item and turn it in for tickets, the item has to be something nobody wants.
You know? Garbage. But what if we were to, like, dig a hole and put treasure below and then fill it in and Well put it somewhere. I think you'd have to put it on public land, right, to be able to dig the hole. And, hopefully, we'll continue to have public lands for a while.
Put it in somebody's farm. So you gotta do private property, PJ. I know. You just get them in trouble. Well, yeah.
Around here, you don't wanna go on some farmer's property with a shovel. They'll come out and start, blasting at you. On a side by side with a shotgun screaming? Yeah. Yeah.
Don't don't go on private land. That's the fun of it. That's what you you gotta evade old, old Sheldon the farmer. Oh, jeez. Alright.
Well, okay. I'm down to make it extra exciting. Stay tuned. We'll do some kind of a treasure hunt at some point because it's fun. But alright, Peaches.
I'm gonna get back to researching so I can find the gold. Yeah. You better. Yeah. Actually, I need to get back to doing other things.
Make it big, move to the Oregon Coast, never to be heard from again. Yeah. Just become a a treasure hunter. You know, that'll become my new job. Leave me a note like the Shawshank Redemption where you're like, I'm I'm in my new area.
Yeah. I'm in my new life. And you gotta figure out the clues to find out where I'm gonna be. Right. Yeah.
You're on a boat somewhere just cleaning it and like, oh, there he is. That's right. Living on the beach. Living the good life. Thank you again for tuning in to the Victor Wilt Show.
