Oliver Baker and Bella Ruppert have found six 1-oz. gold coins valued at about $35,000 (US$25,000) after months of tracing clues through New Brunswick’s old mining districts.
The pair uncovered the bonus prize for The Great Canadian Treasure Hunt over the May long weekend beneath an old hydro structure at Tetagouche Falls, north of Bathurst. The pair had spent months following The Great Canadian Treasure Hunt before uncovering the New Brunswick bonus prize – six 1-oz. gold coins.
But when they finally found the box, they weren’t convinced it contained the treasure and nearly left it behind.
In this interview, Baker and Rupert explain how geology, mining history and persistence helped them crack the clues and claim the gold.
