What up weridos!? You found the fictional treasure yet? 😂
Hey guys have you found the fictional treasure boxes yet?
Find the treasure yet?
Whats up guys!? You found that treasure chest yet? The falsely advertised fiction one? Just asking for my friend kpro 😂😂
I’m not gonna lie y’all, listening to this podcast while playing Black Ops 1 Zombies is a mood 🎉
This is incredible hahaha
How come you guys didn’t ask what he did to get the money?
I just discovered your podcast on Spotify and am hooked! Y’all make history approachable and break things down in a way that’s easy to understand. Love the storytelling and how you both interact during the show. Excited to listen to more!
So glad you found us and hope you enjoy the rest of the episodes!
Im going to get the book today!
If you find a treasure, let us know!
I miss your podcast, but I appreciate all your hardwork. I'm a new listener and luckily, I have a lot of episodes to catch up on!
Good news is we'll be back soon with brand new episodes
You two are amazing 😁
Have you found the ficitonal treasure yet?!
lol
Amazing glasses
Amazing episodes.
please give us some more new episodes this year! i miss listening to y'all so much <3
Oh we will!
You guys still searching for that fictional treasure?
Solid interview! Polite and playful on Jon’s side. Steph & Andrew did very well and were thoughtful in their questioning as hosts. The interviewers actually let Jon talk and pitch his books and (be present) and be interviewed. Unlike other interviews I’ve watch as of late where the interviewers liked the sound of their own voice and totally went off topic for personal ego benefit, sadly… ENJOY and find some joy as Jon suggests…🤓
Thank you! We're both so glad that you enjoyed watching the episode <3 JCB is a fascinating guy so it was pretty easy for us to just sit back, shut up and listen to him talk haha
Dont believe this scam! Its fictional treasure!
@@frostysparklez sorry you feel that way ma’am…wish you could read his book for nothing less than a good read…
Legend created with the series pilot😕
The saying is, "Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future." At least according to Ludo.
Absolutely!
Please do an episode on the mysterious death of Edgar Allan Poe!
As a Christian, it was interesting to hear a different theory that Joan may have been ill instead of divinely chosen. However, I must admit, that is where the intrigue ended in this particular episode. After listening to the tales of Alexander the Great and Cleopatra Syra, I felt that this episode left out so much of her life, character, achievements, and especially the tragedies surrounding her marderdom and the events that followed her death.
Jack Stuef found Fenn's treasure in 2020.
😂😂😂😂 says the author of this fictional story
That’s not accurate
k
It's so, so interesting, I really love the podcast and the way to tell the history. Thanks.
Our pleasure!
As a Weirdo in Anchorage, Alaska, I can confirm that there is a place here to send letters to Santa! 😁
This is key info right here!
Even if it wasn't real, the idea to get people away from the political, racial arguments now, and get them outside, excited about something is fantastic
Love this
That would be great if it wasn't falsely advertising a fictional pen written story as you can acutally find 2 million in non fictional hidden treasure. Alot of effort to pull of a scam for 15 years
Whoever registers a patent on it, if he hasn't, will make a lot of money!
You can't patent false advertising
12.4.2024-- 3:57pm (pst...) From Sir Nicholas In Seattle of Vashon. Jon I wrote you a very long letter via email in reply to your email. I just replied to another--- only this one is shorter . . . much shorter. Please take the time to read and reply in kind. Thanks kindly! Interesting Interview. I'm skeptical Jon, quite Skeptical since I see a direct correlation of your book with Forrest's as-well with Byron's books on Hidden Treasures. In the email I just received from your Advertisement Venue, it is very focused on 'The Sales" of your 'book.' and thee avenues that you're pursuing to get more book exposure to make more from sales. It seems like a huge Play Jon. I hope that I'm wrong in how this seems. As for those other treasure hunt Authors, I solved ALL of them. Yes All. The Scammers are extremely SAVVY where it comes to MAKING MONEY and MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF IT. National Treasure (The Movie...) made a fortune because people LOVE a Treasure Hunt. Sadly--- Your Book has now gained their FOCUSED ATTENTION on how well yours, Foprrest's and Byron's Books have gained fortunes. I told Forrest that I thought he was very clever because, "By creating this Hidden Treasure & Hunt in Book/Novel form, he has made FAR MORE $$$ than the Treasure he had Hidden in West Yellowstone. (<--- Yes! I knew exactly where it was before Jack MAGICALLY and SUDDENLY managed to find it, after being STUMPED for 2+ years. You said Forrest's Treasure held around 500K. Well, the story was told by Forrest that there was Over a million, and then it grew to around 3 million and then to around 5 million. This reminded me of thee old Fish Stories, "Oh yeah. I caught a MONSTER FISH... it was at least 18 inches. Next time they claimed it was about 2-1/2 feet long, then 4 then 8 then 10 etc..." It's an OLD SALEMAN'S TRICKERY. Raise the Value and gain MORE and MORE INTEREST. And honesty FADES TO BLACK in the midst. i seriously hope and pray that you are not doing the same Jon. GOD forgive you IF you are! Sir Nicholas In Seattle of Vashon
Why is the book sold out on all links?
@TheresTreasureInside Watch for the Jon Collins-Black email he sent to subscribers. People are having good luck with their shipments once they order the book. Which I never had. To find ALL FIVE BOXES. Jon. ❤️
When people buy all copies that are printed, a book will become 'sold out'. This also occurs at a store when someone buys all of the available product.
Because it got flagged for false advertising
Here we go again. Guess someone said what happened to Forrest won't happen to them. If you have to resort to a gimmick like this to sell books, you're not a good writer.
There was no $40 book required to purchase to search for Forest Fenn's far more valuable treasure. Just saying folk$.
All you need is the Poem. 🤠
Fiction book! 😂😂😂😂😂
Amd how much ypu spent on other bs worthless things?
surprised this hasn't gotten more views. nice work, guys
Thank you! Stephanie and I both have been scouring the book for clues
Oh it will once everyone realizes this is fictional pen written treasure 😂😂
Interesting these two had never heard of Fenn. But on the flip side, if I had never heard of Fenn I never would have put 140k miles on my car and spent thousands on gas and hotel. Be glad you never heard of him.
I never went BOTG until I was absolutely certain of my search area. West Yellowstone was 4.5 hours away and I camped at places like Baker's Hole on the Madison River and Campfire Lodge below Hebgen Dam. But I am smart that way. Too bad on Day One on The Chase that I didn't believe Forrest Fenn would dare to hide that treasure chest at Nine Mile Hole in Yellowstone National Park. But I guess that's what a MAVERICK would do, right? 🤠
@@lisacesari89 Did you ever search the East side of Yellowstone along the road from Cody? That's where I think it was.
@@Wade-vo1ul Nope! Glad you explored that beautiful area, though. Too bad it was across the Madison River at Nine Mile Hole. The picture of Fenn Rock with the Nine Mile Hole caption under it was in TTOTC book. ✔️
There have been at least two other treasures before this one that were hidden and the clues were in books that were written. Masquerade and Fandango. The Masquerade treasure was found. And the Fandango treasure hunt creators used Masquerade as their inspiration. But the Fandango treasure was never found because the creators ceased answering and talking to anybody. On forums or emails. And they had a date chosen that if nobody found it by then the hunt wpuld end. That was November 2020. Its almost like they decided they had sold enough books. Nobody knows if the treasure was real. There was one guy whose solution took him all the way to Bar Harbor where the treasure was said to be. And when he went inside the establishment,a restaurant or a bar, to get the key that you needed to unlock the safety deposit box which held the money thatvwas the treasure, the people and the manager said they had never heard of a treasure hunt
Its all a scam to sell books they are fictional stories fasley advertised as non-fiction
Jon Collins-Black As of my knowledge cutoff in October 2023, I don't have any specific information about an individual named Jon Collins-Black who would be widely recognized in popular media, academia, or other notable public domains. It's possible that he is a private individual or someone who gained prominence after my last update. If Jon Collins-Black is a figure in a specific field (like business, academia, or local politics), more context about his area of expertise or profession could help me assist you further. If he's a figure who became notable after 2023, I recommend checking more current sources, like news websites or social media, to find updated information. Let me know if you have more details - CHATGPT
Stef- please recommend The Autobiography of Santa Claus ❤ it's cute and I think he will enjoy it.
All the violence related theories don't work for me because there would have been blood or something. I'm also very interested in the broken handrail... broken in which direction, etc Great episode. Hope y'all are well, and getting some good r&r
Thank you
I be setting this up too if I win the Mega! HOW FUN!! Trying to talk my 4 kids, good thing we fly for free. Lol. Luv Yellowstone Park, Hiked 3 miles in that snow but was worth it!! Your literally above the clouds!! But Rocky Mountains!! Afraid of heights here...so excited!! He is giving alot of hints in this video folks!! Good luck! He is definitely a kid at heart. So fun.
Don’t waste your time and money. This treasure hunt is a fraud.
Omg!! My 3 kids are Alexander!!! Ages 21 to 30. WE are kids at hearts and collect gems, fossils and love outdoors natures too. WOWZ!! our conversations over Thanksgiving! Exciting. Love all those National Treasures hunt movies, Nicolas Cage is really good.
Just watched "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" on TV. There is a Chinese Puzzle Boxes solution in that one. ✔️
I got my book on 10.21 wasn’t supposed to get it early. But, it is going to be very hard to find these boxes.
Its super hard to find fictional treasure.
Hi, Jon Collins-Black! This is how you spell 'Ernest' like in the Ready Player One's book author name, Ernest Cline. 😁
35:00 was an epic clue! Thx!
Except those areas on the map COULD be an indicator of the true locations of the FIVE TREASURE BOXES, right? 💋
Take him at his word. Agreed that this above statement is really not a clue just Jon being conscientious to our hunt…his style has not changed since the other interview about 9 years ago. Maybe in my mind, him meeting Kimberly and having children has made him more kind and him on his way to mastering is author mastery…
@@wizard8715 What interview Nine Years Ago? Jon Collins-Black joined the Forrest Fenn Hunt 2016-2020. 🤔
@@wizard8715 I already have the PERFECT X on the Map with the Pokemon Box at the center for ALL FIVE BOXES. Spread perfectly in geographic formation across the United States. One in EACH region reflected in that graphic video. So, there's that. 😙
@ wonderful!! I can’t wait to see all the bounty you acquire…stay safe & hydrated. Treasure on!!!
Plans on selling more than $2 million from the overpriced book I guess.
Profits from the book go to charity. Don't malign people's character for no reason.
@@PaulOtt But the $2 million is recovered before any "profits" so nothing I said was wrong, nor did it mallign his character. He does in fact plan on selling more than $2 million.
This was awesome! I have the book my daughter is wildly excited to go on a treasure hunt and it is worth her looking back in life and saying my daddy took me out of school for a couple of days and we went on a treasure hunt. Kitties put your claws away she is top of her class and helps other students with their work when she finishes so I promise she will be perfectly ok. To the interviewers have you started your hunt and are you on any of the social media sites? Are you partnering with anyone? hope to run into many people on the hunt.
I love this, my dad took me on many a business trip as I was growing up. I missed a fair bit of school but my childhood was so wonderful, driving around and exploring new states with my daddy. She will remember that forever ❤
Just make sure she knows this is fictional treasure. You shouldnt lie to kids. Maybe buy his kids book the unbreakable scam 😂😂😂
I pre-ordered in April but it hasn't been sent yet. What do I do?
Depending on who you ordered it from check there site for delivery date. I ordered in Sept. and the book hadn't been released yet. Mine is scheduled to be here Nov.12th
Send it back.... unless you love searching for pen written fictional treasure 😂
Double omegas honesty god Snow White by your own fruitions self published world wide a clue a hint without written consent
Fictional treasure scam I mean hunt 😂
So, here’s a guy no one has really heard of-a children’s author with modest book sales and a mysterious background involving an undisclosed career site he won’t reveal. Suddenly, he’s offering to give away over $2 million. He insists he’s not interested in recouping his investment, yet he’s pricing his book at a steep $45, about double the average price. Whether it’s clever marketing or something else, I can’t help but feel skeptical. It would be all too convenient if these treasures are either never found or simply go unreported. Frankly, it seems like the only person benefiting from this “hunt” will be Jon Collins Black himself, raking in millions from book sales and securing a place in history as “The Long Lost Treasure of Jon Collins Black.” As for me? I’m not buying it. When things seem too good to be true, they almost always are. Something here just doesn’t add up. During his interview, he seemed visibly uncomfortable, stumbling over his words and even blushing when discussing his sudden fortune.
good one less person looking lol
@ wasn’t my goal. I seriously just don’t buy it! I think this is a genius marketing tactic. It took people 10 years to find the Fenn treasure. Would be easy to fake a treasure hunt and just say no one has found them yet, or no one has reported them found.
@@Wezley That one was probably fake too.
@@jacksteuff186Nope! 💋
