Gold & Greed: caccia al tesoro di Fenn

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 .

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!

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.

Okay. So I love documentaries and especially weird documentaries and this certainly falls into that category.

It's about a treasure hunt that goes spectacularly off the rails... including causing the deaths of four people.

That's assuming this is, in fact, true. I do have my doubts.

Seriously, the people we meet are so bizarre one almost has to wonder if this isn't scripted. The doofus rednecks, the tough retired woman, the obviously wealthy dude who has a lot of time on his hands, the upright 747 pilot with his upright family.

That's not to mention the crusty old creep who buries the treasure the others are trying to find.

Thank god I don't have that treasure hunting gene. I saw it in action when I was growing up in St Paul during the "Winter Carnival" when they would bury a medallion and put clues in the newspapers. But I digress..

On a serious note, this is a bit long. It could have easily been shortened to one or two episodes. It gets a bit boring and slow.

But it is watchable and entertaining. The "characters" I mention above are interesting if over-the-top.

AND... AND THIS IS IMPORTANT. You need to watch the ending. The very ending. And then decide for yourself... is it real??? It is quite a thing at the ending and it took me by surprise.

You will need to decide for yourself, and if you ARE one of those people who has the treasure hunting gene -- beware.
