Bitcoin investor, entrepreneur, and lifelong adventurer Jon Collins-Black has orchestrated the most revolutionary treasure hunt to capture the imagination of adventurers from coast to coast. In an audacious attempt to catalyze curiosity and adventure, Collins-Black has buried five treasure chests valued in excess of $2 million in publicly accessible locations around the United States.
The key to finding these treasures lies in his new book, There’s Treasure Inside, released on November 12, 2024. It contains intricate puzzles, detailed maps, and cryptic clues for the would-be treasure hunters while weaving captivating tales of the historical artifacts and collectibles within the chests.
Each treasure chest will be filled with a different dazzling array of valuable items, all gathered in the last five years through collaboration with historians and auction houses. Treasures will include:
Historical artifacts: Range from the famous to the infamous, including items associated with legendary figures like George Washington, Amelia Earhart, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
The Rare Collectibles: Michael Jordan’s rookie card, some very rare Pokémon cards, and a Casascius Bitcoin-a real, physical Bitcoin.
Precious stones and jewelry: An Emerald from Colombia and jewelry relating to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
Cultural Relics: Shipwreck artifacts and pieces from icons such as Pablo Picasso and Louis Comfort Tiffany.
Collins-Black’s ambition went beyond the monetary worth of the treasure but to compile a treasure that would spark the interest and involvement of participants from all walks of life.
This treasure hunt is planned considering accessibility and safety. All chests will be hidden in locations, hence no dangerous exploration or digging is required, by which any average healthy person can join the adventure. That includes everything from scenic national parks to bustling urban landscapes; all places intended to inspire wanderlust and optimism.
“There’s no need for diving into lakes or scaling cliffs,” Collins-Black said. “This hunt is about the thrill of discovery and the joy of solving puzzles, not taking risks.”
It is this fondness for mythical adventures, puzzles, and games such as Dungeons & Dragons that began when Collins-Black was just a young boy fueled this ambitious project. It had occurred after he read of a treasure hunt created by a man called Forrest Fenn. The idea is to include much more people: instead of having one hidden chest, Collins-Black spread five across the country to give as many people as possible the chance to participate in the action.
This was about bringing adventure to everybody,” he shared. “I wanted people to feel the thrill of possibility and embark on a journey of their own.
Financed through his Bitcoin fortune, Collins-Black was meticulous in planning the project, keeping even the exact locations a secret from his closest confidants. “The fewer people who knew, the more integrity the hunt maintained,” he explained.
Since the book was published, There’s Treasure Inside has generated a frenzy among thousands of participants. Online communities have exploded on Discord and other platforms, discussing theories and collaborating on decodings. Speculation has centered around which states the treasures might be in, while Collins-Black teased that more clues could be published if the chests are not found after too much time has passed.
“I hope it’s challenging enough to take some time, but not so difficult that the treasures are never found,” said Collins-Black, laughing, a hint there could be another if need be.
Whether you are the would-be treasure hunter or one of those people who like to hear a good yarn, Treasure Inside has something to entice an individual whatever the type. The book is filled with ghostly accounts of the treasures themselves and their historical values; hence, it invites the readers on a never-to-forget adventure. Get your copy of There’s Treasure Inside and join the hunt that has swept the nation. You never know-you may be the one to find a piece of history-and a fortune.
