“Begin it where warm waters halt /
And take it in the canyon down, /
Not far, but too far to walk. /
Put in below the home of Brown,”
reads the second stanza of Fenn’s poem that would send treasure hunters to scour five western states.
On 7 June, Fenn, a former air force fighter pilot turned art and antiquities dealer, told the Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper that a man from the eastern US had recently located his treasure, which has variously been valued anywhere from $1m to $2m.
According to Fenn’s website, it was found “under a canopy of stars in the lush, forested vegetation of the Rocky Mountains and had not moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago”.

"The announcement that Trump would hold a political rally on Juneteenth in a city — where as many as 300 black people were killed by mobs of white people — shocked some historians.
“It’s almost blasphemous to the people of Tulsa and insulting to the notion of freedom for our people, which is what Juneteenth symbolizes,” said CeLillianne Green, a historian, poet, lawyer and author of the book “A Bridge: The Poetic Primer on African and African American Experiences.”
“I’m speechless. That day is the day those people in Texas found out they were free. The juxtaposition of the massacre of black people and Juneteenth, the delayed notice you are free, is outrageous. Juneteenth symbolized our freedom.”

"BARTIROMO: What happened to your suit with -- what happened to your suit against CNN? I mean, they're going to say, free speech.
NUNES: Yes, well, that's still -- that's still ongoing, right? That's a good example.
Just a few months ago, after their impeachment hoax blew up in the House of Representatives, what did they do? They said that I was doing nefarious things in Vienna, Austria, when, in fact, I had proof that I wasn't in Vienna, Austria, when they said that I was there.
This is a very similar case, in that they said that I spoke to the president, went to the White House and spoke to the president about Admiral Maguire.
BARTIROMO: Yes.
NUNES: Look, I was in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on the days in question.
BARTIROMO: OK. "

"Rep. Devin Nunes, the ranking Republican member on the House Intelligence Committee, spent nearly $57,000 on a trip to Europe for him and his staff to allegedly investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, records show.
The figures seem to confirm allegations made by Lev Parnas—a Ukrainian-born American who worked as a "fixer" for Rudy Giuliani before being indicted on criminal charges—who said that he helped Nunes arrange meetings with various Ukrainian officials to dig up dirt on Biden.
Parnas said he met Nunes in a secretive trip to Vienna, Austria, between November and December 2018, and put him in touch with former Ukrainian Prosecutor General Victor Shokin—the lawyer who was ousted from his position in 2016 after pressure from Western leaders, including Biden, who said he was not doing enough to combat corruption.
Reports filed with the Office of the Clerk for the House of Representatives show that Nunes claimed expenses for a four-day trip to Europe at the time in question between November 30 and December 3.
Four entries for "commercial airfare" were claimed for Scott Glabe, George Pappas, Derek Harvey and Nunes himself."
They accuse Trump and his associates of allegedly attempting to enlist a foreign government to dig up dirt on a domestic political opponent, while Congressionally approved aid was withheld until the request was met—in essence, bribery."

"OKLAHOMA CITY, April 25 -- The Secret Service began paying its last respects to at least five agents killed in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. State troopers fired a three-gun salute and many officers were in tears Monday when agent Cynthia Campbell Brown, 26, was buried with military honors at Sherman, Texas, about 200 miles south of Oklahoma City.
Brown was one of six agents in the Secret Service office last Wednesday when the 9:04 a.m. explosion tore the nine-story building apart. One agent is among the more than 160 people still missing, officials said. Classmates who graduated with Brown from Secret Service training less than a year ago carried her flag-draped coffin.
The native of Rantoul, Ill, grew up in Sherman and attended Baylor University at Waco. Secret Service Director Eljay Bowron, his voice breaking with emotion, said Brown was 'special' because of the pride she and her fellow classmates exhibited when they graduated last year. 'We will not allow the heinous act in Oklahoma City to damage that bond,' he said. 'That is the fabric that has held this agency together for nearly 130 years.'
Just six weeks ago, Brown was wed to special agent Ron Brown, who is stationed in Portland, Ore.
The marriage ceremony was in the Grace United Methodist Church, the same church where her funeral was held. Bowron said five Secret Service agents were confirmed killed in the blast and a sixth is still missing.
Officials confirmed Secret Service agents Alan G. Whicher, Donald R. Leonard, Mickey Maroney and Kathy Seidl also were killed.
Maroney worked on Lady Bird Johnson's protective detail and Whicher was part of President George Bush's detail during the Reagan years.
Since the Secret Service was formed in 1865, only 21 agents have been killed in the line of duty."
