I'd love for it to be real. I would want to know where it was and get an explanation of each line in the poem

You aren't the only one who thinks that.
From the Santa Fe New Mexican article, linked to in the Guardian article:
Quote:
One treasure hunter taking Fenn to court was skeptical of the timing.
Brian Erskine of Prescott, Ariz., said in his complaint, filed in U.S. District Court, that he “solved the quest.”
Erskine said the site in question is in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, between the towns of Silverton and Ouray and accessible by U.S. 550, also known as the “Million Dollar Highway.”
“He just got served with my lawsuit, and now we have this press release,” he said in an interview Sunday.
Among other arguments for his case, Erskine says abandoning a chest of valuables in the wild, as Fenn says he has done, means he couldn’t “give title” as Fenn writes in his memoir, The Thrill of the Chase.
