Gold und Gier: Die Jagd nach Forrest Fenns Schatz

A not-put-together-very-well catalogue of how far some people went to find buried treasure in the hopes of improving their lives. Particularly the family of 3 men who spent two years trying to excavate a boulder. I couldn't watch them recount their experiences, but I couldn't look away either. Overall my heart was sad for them because you could actually feel their train-wreck determination, followed by the pit of despair.

Much was left unsaid, especially by the aloof family members of Forest Fenn. You couldn't help think they were full of BS.

Perhaps I dozed off with sheer frustration, but there is a big gap in the the facial-recognition guys offer being accepted by the auctioneers, to it not. Huh? Yet the dragon bracelet and other things were in HIS re-hide box? Wtf?

It was poorly filmed, and had many nut jobs akin to Tiger King. It's the kind of thing that by the end you want kick yourself for watching the whole thing.

As much Moby Dick as Treasure of the Sierra Madre, this is one of those spellbinding docs that expands its canvas the further it gets. Starting as a real, life treasure hunt initiated by a narcissistic, old man in an attempt to " stay relevant" in his old age, the story quickly evolves into one of human obsession, imagination, hope and, in the end, reconciliation. It is the story of America and her sense of destiny, desire for something better, determination and heart as big as Montana. Easy to dismiss as the foolhardy misadventures of a bunch of sad, delusional misfits but that would be a mistake. Each of the four " hunters" we follow have their own personal reasons for putting themselves through the trials they do. Their stories are crazy, delusional and utterly admirable in some ways. An extraordinary and compelling series. Highly recommended.

This show is awesome!! I highly recommend watching! This show kept me on the edge of my seat. Just when you think you have the outcome figured out, the plot turns upside down! It was non-stop excitement. The ending was really a surprise. I cant believe what some people went through to find a chest worth millions! This was defined a unique documentary on an unusual event. I've never seen anything like it. I also highly recommend reading the book Beyond The Map's Edge to find the next treasure! I really hope the author writes more books. Hopefully I'll be able to go hunt for this new treasure soon! 5 stars!!!

I could tell just by the information about this docu-series that this was going to be right up my alley. I absolutely love mysteries, treasure hunts, intrigue, etc.. I was certainly not disappointed by this! It's a one of a kind story that kept me on the edge of my seat until the bittersweet end. Nothing is more interesting in life to me than a good mystery and this encapsulates all the great things that can go along with a good mystery. A hunt for something/someone, thousands of sleuths who will stop at nothing to find the answers, and what's even better yet a treasure at the end of it. This was an absolutely amazing watch and I can't recommend this enough to documentary lovers!

An interesting docuseries about Forrest Fenn and his buried treasure in the Rocky Mountains. I have no problem with Mr. Fenn. He seems like a genuinely good person and I give him credit for the life he created for himself.

My problem is with the arrogant, mind-numbingly stupid people who call themselves treasure hunters. The ignorant hillbilly Hurst family. What a joke these people are. They really believe they're intelligent, important individuals. This couldn't be further from the truth. They thought Mr Fenn would leave them something in his wiland were crying when the lawyer said he had no idea who they are. The Hursts are the perfect representation of what's wrong with America. Too much ego, no brains.

The Meacham woman is basically an admitted whore. She's disgusting.

Justin Posey is a spoiled rich brat who surrounds himself with things to make him look smart, but unfortunately, his ego gets in the way, just like the others.

Good docuseries if you can stomach the ignorance and ego.
