Don Waite recently confided to me that on a hunch as a result of his 1974 interview with Aunt Mandy Charnley, he and his two sons had checked out a bench-shaped outcropping just above the hot springs at Second Canyon gorge on the Upper Pitt River. Sure enough, the site had quartz that was extremely rich in gold. It took the three a couple of days to hack out chunks of the gold-bearing rock, including the specimen he shows here. The trio managed to sell everything through a dealer in Vancouver just after Christmas of last year.
