The treasure hunt, which Collins-Black has been planning for five years, invites participants to solve a series of complex clues laid out in his book There’s Treasure Inside.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the entrepreneur began acquiring rare and valuable items to fill the chests. These include a Casascius Bitcoin (one of the first physical bitcoins ever made), a green Colombian emerald, a 2002 Shining Charizard Pokémon card, antiques from a shipwreck, and George Washington’s jelly glass.

However, he warns that the treasure hunt isn’t for the faint-hearted. “You need to follow a series of clues and have a sharp mind to find even one of the chests,” he told Business Insider. He also stressed that only he knows the chests’ locations, so quizzing friends or family will be futile.

“I was actually trying to figure out what the sweet spot would be as far as how big to make this without making it too big, I didn’t want people to go too crazy, ” Collins-Black said

According to him, he had a “loose budget” for the treasure’s value. Based on the price he paid for the items at auction, he estimated that the total value of the stash, at press time, was between $2 million and $3 million. But frequently fluctuating items such as bitcoin could change the chests’ worth.

Collins-Black expressed his excitement about the potential impact on the lucky finders. “If Bitcoin goes to $500,000 or $1 million, or these treasures are worth $10 million in five to seven years, then I think I’ll just celebrate that and be happy for it,” he said.

For those who find the book’s clues too cryptic, Collins-Black has a contingency plan. He intends to release additional hints in 8 to 10 years if the treasures remain undiscovered.

However, he has no desire for the hunt to become a never-ending mystery. “I don’t want this to outlive me,” he explained. “I don’t want to drag it on forever.”
