After a controversial, decade-long chase, New Mexico multimillionaire Forrest Fenn revealed someone has finally found the treasure that he hid in the Rocky Mountains in 2010.

"I can confirm it's been found," Fenn told TODAY. "It was found by a man from back East, but he's shy. He doesn't want his name released."

The treasure is believed to include a windfall valued at more than $2 million, including gold coins, diamonds and emeralds, among other gems.

Fenn confirmed the man had, indeed, found the treasure by asking him to send a photo of the chest. Fenn declined to share where it was located.

"I don't want to share too much information right now," he said.

The news of the discovery was first reported by Thrill of the Chase, a blog devoted to the treasure hunt.

According to the post, apparently penned by Fenn himself, the chest "was under a canopy of stars in the lush, forested vegetation of the Rocky Mountains and had not moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago. I do not know the person who found it."
