Stuart Brown -- Letters for sale.

Thanks to Daryl who reported the following post he found on e-Bay.

Go here for a file with all the pictures etc. No new letters -- go here for these and some other Fyles letters collected by Don.  

Doubt that anyone would have paid a penny for those letters and perhaps a few newspaper cuttings. Would have liked a copy of that picture though.

What do you think that Daryl’s hat would make on e-Bay? ? 

Is a secret gold mine hidden in the B.C. mountains?

"The Doc Project is where you'll hear the story you can't stop thinking about.” That is what the “about” page of the project on the CBC Radio 1 tells us. 

One of those stories of is the one of Pitt Lake gold splendidly told by Brad Badelt using interviews with some of us "who know it all” or think so.

Jackson’s valley found?

Click on image to enlarge. 

Add David Muise to the list of serious and informed explorers of the legendary gold. It seems that he recently found the location of Jackson’s valley within Golden Ears Provincial Park.
The markers pointing to the valley, he says, are all there as described in Jackson’s letter and therefore he has no doubt that Jackson and his gold are more than just a myth.
David is writing a book about his findings that he prepares for publication in October.
David is the host of the Rock Creek Recreation campground on Forest Lake Road, just before you get to Zajac. There he welcomes anyone who is interested to talk to him.
The picture shows David holding a lens he found that, he claims, could well be from Volcanic Brown's glasses.
