Oro y codicia: En busca del tesoro de Finn

I started this thinking I'd get a quirky treasure hunt tv show. What I got was a front-row seat to the slow, painful meltdown of logic. People sobbing over rocks, detonating boulders like they're in a low-budget Bond movie, and treating vague poetry like gospel. I swear, every minute I watched, a brain cell packed its bags and left. This wasn't a hunt for treasure-it was a televised mass delusion. By the end, I needed a map just to find my will to live. If common sense was buried out there, nobody found it. But hey, at least now I know how not to read a poem. X marked the spot where sanity died.

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.

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!

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.

Tells you more about the contemptible attitude that the aforementioned company has for its perceived demographic . To look at the characters ( mainly in the whole ) who chase this nonsense around the same area you , can see that the perpetrator is having many perverse episodes watching this mayhem unfold . There is nothing surprising about how low ( individuals with low IQ's ) will demean themselves in pursuing these whimsies . Some of them are arrested for trespass , stalking , threats to life , etc . Then you have the guy ( who wears a professional uniform in his career ) get bit in the face whilst goading a snake ?!

The race to the bottom begins here folks .
