What Are the 10 Clues in Justin Posey's Treasure Poem

Clues in Justin Posey’s treasure poem

What are the clues in Justin Posey’s treasure poem? In the recent MW Six Questions, Justin says there are (at least) 10 clues in the poem. They form a trail of breadcrumbs to the treasure.

In the hunt for the Forrest Fenn treasure, Forrest said this about his clues:

I would advise new searchers to look for the clues in my poem and try to marry them to a place on a map.

Might the same advice be applied to Justin’s clues? Might each clue connect to a point on a map?

What Are the 10 Clues in the Poem?

Although I believe every word in the poem is important, I feel some words help to identify and support the location of the ‘clue’ found – and while important – not one of the defining 10 clues for the path.

For instance, the line –

“Her foot of three at twenty degree” may help to describe ‘His bride’ – so when we identify the location of ‘His bride’ – this line offers support for it being correct by fitting in with those details. Vital for the solution by helping to marry a clue to a geographic location on a map – but more of a supportive hint to the clue’s location.

So upon first consideration – and I’m sure I’ll change my mind as soon as I post this and many times after – here are thoughts for what I think the 10 clues might be.

In just trying to list them is a great exercise to get the mind thinking.

And a note – Justin has said the clues are in consecutive order. But as you will notice I have Wisdom waits as my 10th Clue. I feel the poem could wrap around.

My first clue is ‘As Hope surges – clear and bright – and ends with wisdom. (maybe what we are looking for)

Hope to Wisdom.

Netflix Gold and Greed Documentary Clue?

In the Netflix documentary, Justin says the Forrest Fenn treasure hunt was a ‘Beacon of Hope’ – does Justin’s Poem Line – ‘As hope surges’ connect these? Does it start at Yellowstone (where the Fenn Treasure was hidden – with the word surges providing support with the many geysers there) but then moves on to ‘Wisdom waits in shadowed sight’ (Miles away).

In the Netflix series there was also the combination of the safe shown – (clearly a clue of some sorts)…. The numbers were 44 – 26 -1 – 10.5. Applying these numbers to coordinates (44.26 N 110.5 W) takes you to Heart Lake, Yellowstone NP. I don’t think it is there – but is either a starting point or easter egg to find.
