Questions Jon Collins-Black Did Not Answer

In the Six Questions I had asked Jon Collins-Black, there were a few questions he chose not to answer. These are interesting because to avoid them might offer clues.

The Jon Collins-Black questions of which he didn’t answer are as follows:

You acquired the Olive Jar with Forrest Fenn’s autobiography. Please share what you can about the contents and what you thought about them.

He didn’t answer this and he seems to want the only information given about to be what he wrote in the book. However, from a MW Q/A with Forrest Fenn – we do know it contained more than his Autobiography. It was to include Forrest Fenn’s hair.

Here is that Q/A:

Question answered by Forrest Fenn on 6/26/2014:
You have mentioned sealing a bottle that is included in the chest with wax. What was your reason for doing this? Were you concerned merely for damp conditions or is the Chest hidden in water? ~ Izcajun

Thanks for the questions Izcajun. When I was ready to put the olive jar that contained my autobiography and two of my hairs in the treasure chest I studied the lid. It was made of tin coated steel, which is not easily oxidized in air or water. Over time those characteristics can break down.

Although I am not ready to say the treasure is not in water, I certainly didn’t want moisture to enter the jar. So I melted a chunk of microcrystalline wax to the point that it started smoking, which meant it was at its thinnest viscosity. Then I dipped the jar in the molten wax deep enough to cover the lid and part of the jar, and held it there for several seconds. I wanted the wax to seal the threads on both the lid and the jar, but I didn’t want the heat to break the glass. After it cooled for a minute or so and the wax hardened, I repeated the process two times, increasing the wax thickness on the lid. The wax was petroleum based and won’t evaporate or deteriorate. When cold, it becomes brittle. That’s why I wanted the threads on the lid and jar clogged.

All I know are the facts, if you want the truth go next door to the psychology department.f

Did the jar contain something more? Will have to find the chest to know!

Other questions Jon chose not to answer:

In your FAQ you mention there are not any grand ciphers to crack. Please share, however, if the clues will then provide a conclusive and precise location for each different location, without ambiguity.
Do you feel there may be some subjectiveness to the solutions?
Will searchers know they have undoubtedly solved the correct clues for finding a treasure box?
Have you put in place methods to know whether a treasure box has been located and/or moved?
Are the treasure boxes accessible year-round 24/7 to discover?
Will weather have any effect on the locations? Will weather affect the boxes – are they waterproof?
How do you envision the ending of the hunt?

These are the Questions he didn’t answer from the list I gave him. Although he was to answer Six Questions, my 6th Question had said, “This last question is more of a series of questions.” And then I listed them.

In the final Six Q’s it shows I asked about safety, and a few others (which he didn’t necessarily answer).
