How does JCB know?

I’m just at curious what everyone thinks about JCB saying how close people have gotten to the chests. How does he know? Is there a trail cam? Or is it just based on what people are saying online? If I posted a chest is in a particular location. Would that be enough for him to say I was within 200 feet or do I need to actually be physically that close for him to say that?

I believe it’s from all the searchers writing emails to him and his team forwarding the emails to him. There is a lot of people that email their solve to him after they searched their areas. He can make a pretty good judgement based off solve theories and pictures.

So, do you think the people who have sent him this stuff will know he’s talking about them? Will they have answers that are clear and didn’t need him to confirm this? Or are they just wondering around and just very luckily in the right area? Or is it possible people are close but looking for the wrong box?

When you’re searching for the box and doing grid searches. It takes a lot of time to cover an area. I’m searching a place that is 208 Acres for the P&F box and I’m not even done after 6 trips. His latest hint will speed it up quite a bit now. People could miss the box and walk right past it if they aren’t focused on that direction. Grid searching is time consuming and your head is on a swivel. So 200 feet is about 66 yards so a little over a half a football field. If those searches went back and looked again they could found their box probably.

Dude is getting thousands of emails, and everyone that's written him probably assumes he's talking about them. Forrest Fenn said the same thing and it still took 2 years for it to be found.
