Collins-Black has hidden five caches of valuables - which range from gold bars and rare Pokemon cards to shipwreck-salvaged gold doubloons and cryptocurrency wallets - at various locations across the United States and has tasked the general public with finding them.

To aid in this quest, he has published a book - There's Treasure Inside - containing cryptic clues as to the treasure's whereabouts.

"You don't have to be a genius to solve the clues," he said. "There's no grand cypher."

"If you have curiosity, imagination, and the willingness to try something new, you can find the treasures that I've hidden."Collins-Black maintains that the treasure caches are all situated in publicly accessible land, are within three miles of a public road and are all in a safe place that won't put participants in any danger.

They are also seemingly out in the open and not buried in the ground.

"I created this treasure hunt because I live for adventure," he said.

"I hope to ignite that same sense of wonder and curiosity in everyone who joins this journey."
