What is Beyond the Map's Edge?
Beyond the Map's Edge is a high-stakes treasure hunt released on March 27, 2025 by Justin Posey — a name well-known in the treasure hunting world. Justin was one of the most dedicated searchers in the Forrest Fenn treasure hunt, was featured in the Netflix documentary Gold & Greed, and ultimately purchased the legendary Fenn treasure chest at auction. Now, he's hidden his own collection worth over a million dollars somewhere in the American West.
The treasure — a 60-pound collection — includes historical artifacts, gold bars, precious gems, cryptocurrency, a meteorite, and items from the original Forrest Fenn chest. This is one of the largest active treasure hunts in the world right now.
How to Get Started
All essential clues are contained within a poem freely available on the official website Treasure.Quest. The companion book (available on Amazon) provides additional insights and perspectives, but the poem alone contains everything needed to find the treasure.
The poem contains 5 stanzas of 4 lines each, with at least 10 clues working in consecutive order. Justin has confirmed there are no red herrings, the treasure is not near a trail, and access to the location is free and available 24/7.
