AT is about a podcast dedicated to modern day treasure hunts. We follow along the journey of a treasure hider (Jon Collins-Black) who hid his treasure "There's Treasure Inside" in 5 different locations in America. To explore Jon's treasure we look at past and current treasures along the way to get a glimpse at how we can look forward, and maybe get some clues to finding JCB's treasure.

American Treasure: Appalachian Trail Box
Q: Why did you decide to open up about the map and its creation process now?
To give listeners a sense of how the hunt evolved, share the thought process behind puzzle design, and build trust by explaining the balance between challenge and accessibility for future solvers.
American Treasure: Solves With You part 1
Q: How confident are you in the general area and what factors are driving that confidence?
We're in the high range of confidence because multiple clues align—maps, terrain features, and personal observations—though we acknowledge the possibility of being correct by coincidence and the need for actual discovery to confirm.
American Treasure: Solves With You part 1
Q: In the last interview with Jon, we talked about the map and the three ways to solve it. Have you come up with an idea of what that means?
We're highly confident in the general area, with converging clues from both partners, but the final confirmation requires boots-on-the-ground verification of the exact spot.
