Greetings wise forum members. I've been reading through alot of the posts on this awesome forum over the past couple night. I'm compelled to start contributing to the forum. I'm from a old coal town on vancouver island. Been beating the bushes finding old mine sites exploring the underground tunnels. My treasures have come in the form of pictures and the odd complete brick that I plan on building a patio with one day, when I get enough. I think I have the makings of a treasure hunter the thrill of the hunt and the find. The coolest thing I found was a arrow head from a coast salish indian I found it on the beach at Locarno on Gabriola island. I spent a couple days over on Valdes island a couple weeks ago went to Codfish bay one of the hideouts for the Brother 13 colony found an interesting well, but thats it. apparently they buried gold on decourcy island but they probably buried treasures on valdes too. I guess I need a metal detector. some of the coins and stashs found around are incredible!
I was up Mount Sicker a couple days last week and I'm going back this afternoon, I really want to find the location of the three old townsites up there, I found three slopes and one shaft one slope is in really good shape, I'm bringing my flash today might post some photos later. the other two slopes one was flooded and the Lenora was plugged about 30 feet in, it was interesting at the portal to the Lenora there was a large Ore body on the surface and they mined it out in an open pit and there are alot of really incredible rocks around with noticeable metal mixed in the quartz, they got alot of copper silver and gold out of this ore and it's really cool to see I love rocks but I don't know much about them.
Been reading up a bit on some of the treasures being found on our coast in caves and such got me pretty excited. Got a boat and I'm really getting excited about the old stuff. Thinking there must be old camps all the way up the coast, Nootka, Kyuquot. Got a boat that's going to get me to the quiet places. I'll post some photos next time just wanted to write this up fast before I start pm'ing. Have a great day!
Almost forgot GO CANUCKS GO!
