What does it take to channel the spirit of Jacques Cousteau and search for secret treasure?

For Jon Collins-Black, this question sparked an exciting journey that led him to hide five treasure chests across the United States.

His new book, Theres Treasure Inside, offers advice to avid treasure hunters, sending them on an expedition in search of hidden chests with a combined value of more than $2 million.

Collins-Black is a lifelong fantasy enthusiast, immersing himself in games and mythical adventures such as Dungeons & Dragons since childhood.

In 2015, the successful musician and entrepreneur was looking for a change of pace and considered a project that would help him reconnect with his youthful imagination.

Motivated by Forrest Fenn's infamous treasure hunt launched in 2010, Collins-Black dreamed of creating something more personal and accessible. Instead of the Fenn's single chest hidden in the Rocky Mountains, Collins-Black imagined multiple treasures allowing every person across the country the opportunity to be closer to one of the chests.

I wanted the chests to be displayed to give people an optimistic and adventurous possibility, he said.

With a creative background in writing, from poetry to children's book editing, Collins-Black has combined her skills to produce There's Treasure Inside, intended to entertain even those who have no intention of searching for the treasure.

Each chapter contains detailed clues leading to one of five chests.

Although Collins-Black remains tight-lipped about the details of the book, he promises that anyone can find the treasure. All the clues you need are in the book, he said.

To protect the integrity of the research, Collins-Black worked with as few strategists and editors as possible to prevent clues from being released to the public. He even decided to keep the locations of the treasures a secret from his wife.

I couldn't really consult other people because I didn't want it to be their burden, he said.

Without a clear plan for such an ambitious project, he experimented by trial and error, carefully programming the difficulty of the clues.

Theres Treasure Inside has already created a buzz, with thousands of participants gathering on chat channels such as Discord to share their theories. Many are even convinced they have located the states where the treasure is located, according to Collins-Black.

Adventurers don't have to worry about their safety while searching, he says. No dangerous underwater exploration, rock climbing, or entry onto private property is required, and anyone in good health can visit the sites. And it's important to know that you don't have to dig to find the treasure.

Although Collins-Black wants the scavenger hunt to be challenging, he is clear on the timeline: I hope and think it might take a little while, but I don't need it to take forever, a he declared.

If the chests remain unfound for several years, he believes he will release additional clues, or perhaps even a sequel, to bring his quest to life.

Collins-Black has carefully selected the treasures hidden within the chests to captivate a wide range of interests and provide an unparalleled treasure hunting experience.

Working with historians, Collins-Black attended auctions until he created the perfect, one-of-a-kind collection. He funded the coins with money he saved from early bitcoin investments.

I was like a kid in a candy store, he said.

Inside the chests, researchers can hope to find items such as rare Pokémon cards, bounties for shipwrecks, sports memorabilia, gold, and valuable medals.

Among the most valuable possessions are those with historical significance, including items owned or made by Pablo Picasso, George Washington, Amelia Earhart and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

As chests wait to be discovered, the value of many items continues to grow.

It's almost impossible for Collins-Black to select a favorite item from the lot, but a few specific items, a brooch that belonged to Jackie Onassis, a 96-carat emerald and Wilma Rudolph's 1960 Olympic gold medal, occupy a special place in his heart.

The only item on his wish list he couldn't get was one of Albert Einstein's pipes, which he lost in a bidding war.

One chest was intentionally made larger and more valuable than the others to raise the stakes.

I wanted to put more value into a treasure chest than ever before, Collins-Black said.

With clues to uncover and treasures to discover, the search is officially on. Will you be the one to find the grand prize?
