Following are the top puzzle solutions in There’s Treasure Inside – by Jon Collins-Black. Do not read more if want to solve/find them on your own.
Also note – as of this writing none of the treasure boxes have been found – so the solutions are only believed ‘pieces’ to finding a box. They are considered possible clues used towards a final solution.

Past & Future Treasure Box Puzzle Solutions
Word Search Secret Message
After finding words in the Word Search in the Past & Future Box Chapter, some of the remaining letters are used to provide a ‘Secret Message’. The complete message is debated – as are the words to find in the Word Search. However, it is clear there is a hidden message and many believe it says:
There are five clues in this word search. But do not tell anyone. There are no special bends or turns. Just remains steady to complete the mission. X
(“line them up” – possibly included too)

Cryptogram
The Cryptogram on the bottom of page has been solved. It says:
FROM ROCK TO FIELD FROM STRONG TO STREAM,
PAST TREE AND POSTS TO FOREST GREEN,
ARRIVE YOU NOW WHERE BEAUTY SHEENS.
IT’S UNDER, OVER, IN BETWEEN.
There may be possible clues in the cryptogram key – it’s interesting that O =H , I =O is in its key. As well as the C =U, U=C and N=Y, Y=N. Plus THIS = FROM.

Forrest Fenn Treasure Box Puzzle Solutions
Jon CollinsBlack has said all you need is the poem to find the Forrest Fenn Treasure box. In that poem are two phrases that have been linked to songs. Both potentially leading to the box being hidden in Colorado. This state is not confirmed.
The song phrases matching poem phrases are:
1) Cool water flows
‘Cool water flows’ appears in the song Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival. The Green River area is a hot spot for the FF box, and other clues in the poem can be connected to it.
2) A road I know
This phrase is found in the song I 70 Westbound by the RailBenders. I 70 is a major highway in Colorado.
