At the age of 58, Finn was diagnosed with cancer and had to put a stop to his beloved outdoor adventures, resting at home instead.
Knowing his days were numbered, he thought of starting a treasure hunting adventure.

Feeling again that his time was running short, he recalled that early "treasure hunt plan."
