Title: mystery of slumach's gold
Post by: Verdi on January 17, 2015, 08:54:13 AM: I have grow up here my whole life and never hear the mystery of a lost gold mine in our hills,
I though it was an interesting video, maybe one day somebody will find it...

Fred's web page has all the factual history and is worth a read
http://www.slumach.ca/

Last year I researched from a very old Maple Ridge book called The Golden Mountains by Charles A Miller, and the early mining around the Stave Alouette area.

I managed to find most of the early diggings, some photos here http://tinyurl.com/puryr6z

I have pop bottles from the 50s and 60s Ive found in the rivers though and some solid leads on places to search if I ever get a metal detector and a boat lol.

Lots of books on Slumach, thats where the gold is

and thanks, I love exploring and taking photos~
