Armchair Treasure Hunts: The Quests for Hidden Treasures has been discontinued. The book included a foreword by Forrest Fenn and much of the MysteriousWritings.com material on The Thrill of the Chase treasure hunt in print. Forrest Fenn’s treasure has been found, and so the book needed a major overhaul, and updated.
That updated book is above. It is entitled: The Ultimate Guide on Armchair Treasure Hunts and includes a look at OVER 40 past armchair treasure hunts and their solutions.
