Hidden treasure of gold worth a million dollars found in Canada: Discover its location now!
In an exciting turn of events, The Northern Miner has launched the Great Canadian Treasure Hunt, a cross-country contest that has captured the imagination of Canadians across the nation. The central clue of this intriguing hunt is a 52-line poem, filled with cryptic clues hinting at a million-dollar treasure.
The poem, a veritable treasure trove of enigmatic verses, suggests that the prize might be found in landmarks such as the Canadian Shield and coastal areas from northern Labrador to Nunavut's Ellesmere Island. However, it also mentions that certain landmarks, like mountains, might mislead, and the path lies where birch trees grew. Interestingly, white birch trees, common in Canada, do not typically grow in the central Arctic, adding another layer of mystery to the hunt.
The grand prize is a weatherproof case containing 217 one-ounce gold coins, vault certified and physically held. The number of coins per prize remains constant regardless of gold price fluctuations, ensuring the value of the treasure remains substantial.
Participants are advised to take precautions for weather conditions, bring a buddy, a fully charged phone, beware of wildlife, and respect the environment and Canadian heritage. Certain areas are off-limits, including private property, underwater or underground sites, man-made structures, grave sites, cemeteries, construction sites, hazardous waste dumps, and locations requiring climbing gear or "risky stunts".
The locations of the treasures are tightly held, known only to one organizer. The poem also mentions man-made landmarks such as "Flinty's claim," possibly referring to Josiah Flintabattey Flonatin, the fictional prospector and namesake of Flin Flon, Man., and Bathurst, said to have a "deepest bell" ringing, which could refer to the major street in Toronto or the coastal zinc-mining community of the same name in northern New Brunswick.
The poem makes frequent reference to bodies of water, like potentially oceanside "brine" and "salt air," rivers, and waterfalls, as well as a "mirror" and "silence" among water that "hums," suggesting a calm lake or pond. The treasure may be found "by shore," but anywhere underwater is off-limits.
The final two stanzas seem to offer a window into the hiding place itself, suggesting a "sliver" hidden in the overgrowth, and the case containing the winning code could be magnetized, an "invisible X that marks the spot." Additional bonus prizes of six coins each, or $25,000, will be awarded for finding 12 codes hidden in Canada.
The contest's safety page reminds treasure hunters that the real treasure isn't just the gold, but the adventure, the stories, and coming home safe to tell them. The exact location of the million-dollar treasure remains publicly undisclosed and remains unknown. As the hunt continues, Canadians are encouraged to participate, solve the cryptic clues, and potentially uncover the Great Canadian Treasure.
