$1M treasure in Rocky Mountains has been found, says Forrest Fenn
I buried a wooden ship in the sand at the beach when my little boy was 5 years old.<p>We were digging sand castles when "he found it".<p>Back at the house when his grandfather was having a closer look at the ship, grandad "discovered" an old map and little key inside the ship - strange we hadn't noticed it earlier.<p>The map had a big X marked on it - also down at the beach near a big cave.  I happened to know just that area....<p>So we went down there and dug in the sand and found a wooden treasure box wrapped in a metal chain and padlocked.  When my little boy tried the key in the lock.... it fit!<p>Inside the box was overflowing with jewellery and coins and weird little trinkets.  He had discovered buried treasure!<p>In fact I had bought the wooden ship, and the wooden jewellery box from the local opportunity shop and also bought $5 worth of shiny junk jewellery and old overseas coins and trinkets and filled it up. I then bought a chain and padlock and wrapped it up and buried it.<p>He's 11 years old now and still doesn't know the true story.  Credit is due to my friend who did this first - he buried a pouch in the sand for his kids to find - I just expanded on the idea with the ship and the map and the treasure box, chains and padlock etc.
