I found Slumach's lost gold mine on vancouver island.

[hmmm]

yes i found his lost mine a long time ago, but last summer we found the lost spanish placer mine that he found.
It appears that the spanish found a older placer mine as well.
the lost mine is directly connected to the caves with dem boards.
-----------lost mine storys from the area.--------
Fosters lost ledge 1903 -
Lost lemon ,mine 1907 -
Mcleod's missing millions 1907
Leach towns mystery tunnel lined with Spanish gold bars.
The lost Spanish mine. 1522 to 1600
These are only a few lost mine legends to be found in British Columbia.
Although some one has claimed they found the mine and has the gold to prove it, they did not stake it.
These stories all parallel each other.
In 1903 slumach was followed by an American prospector.
In the lost Lemon mine Jack Lemon found a creek "ankle deep in gold"
In 1903 foster hacked raw gold from a vein.
All these turn of the century prospectors found a very rich placer mine and all had "rough gold hacked from a gold vein".
"Foster was flashing his gold ,"not just nuggets but chunks of the priced ore hacked from a ledge"
slumach had "Fist sized nuggets and Raw gold with a little rock shot through it."
In jolly jacks lost placer "one of the prospectors who saw the gold described it as course and heavy" in 1903 he died . "the secret of the course , copper - colored nuggets died with him."
one story that also parallels the creek i found is, McLeod's missing millions.
google it and you will see it also is a oasis in the cold of winter.
My creek is on the west coast of VI.
In the dead of winter the creek is warm and green, yet 3 miles in land you find snow all the way to newfound land. It truly is a green oasis in the cold Canadian winter.
------------------------------------------
I posted a topic that shows the lost placer mine, the past miners placed bolders and a slab of quartz in such a way as to keep the blue clay exposed.

As i said, the caves are connected to the lost mine and this is what happened to the past miners who found the lost mine in the past. read with caution.

I hope to see you post pics of dem nuggets you will soon find!

[hmmm]

We went out to dig out the blue ground hole we opened 25 years ago, but it was filled in, we dug, but never got to the blue ground and realised the bolders where huge. i think its going to take a crew to get to bed rock where the fist size nuggets are.
bare with me, 25 years ago we found 2 spots where the blue ground was exposed, in this tiny creek 2 miles long.
we had never got down stream far enough to see the wall of blue.
the 2 spots are completly filled in now, which leads me to believe they where exposed by the american prospectors who followed slumach to the lost creek mine. they did do some placer minning where they found the fist size nuggets.

i think slumach was the local chief who in 1862 was helped to massacure bunch of prospectors, his partner natives returned to there own country leaving slumach. the only indian who knew about the lost spanish gold mine. then slumach went to new west minster to try through off any more prospectors.
leading on a wild gooes chase to the mountains behind pitt lake. smart.

if any one wants to read the indians account of the lost spanish mine it can be found in this book.

Eventuly slumach was followed by SOME american prospectors, the father of my old friend walter. walts father moved here in the turn of the century, he found a gold mine but never exposed it, he did hand these chunks of silver to his son, after his son died 15 years ago, his wife let me photo them.
the gold from the story.
I GUESS WHERE THIS GETS WEIRED AND RELATES TO DEM DONES IS , the creek drAINS ON THE OCEAN NEXT TO A SAND STONE CAVE THAT IS CLEARLY A SMELTER, when i took the local shamon to the cave , he told me it was thousands of years old and was made by a bearded people from the beginning of time. this is where it gets weireder, the blue wall is at the odd elivation of 666 feet above sea level. if the smelter is thousands of years old then maybe to, is the placer mine. hmmm
hold your hats, but there is a cave painting in the cave, pigments imbedded in the sand stone. to see the cave painting of the prospectors from the beginning of time, see the photo below , if you can handel it.

That is real history....metal detect and dig around the smelter and possibly you will find evidence of who these people were. Maybe they left a few bars and never got back to get them....you never know. I would do this on your own...if our illustrious leaders see this they will send in their buddies. Good luck and I hope you are able to find out who these bearded people were....anything is possible...this is meant for YOU to find.....seek it out.....

screwed up, had a post and lost it .try again.
i would like to detect it but its 14 miles round trip. i want to do a arch dig, just look what they find in France.
i believe the smelter was used by the vikings and was taken from the Indians, until the indians took it back. its a thousand years later and its a national park, that means its back in the original builders hands again.
its mentioned in these sagas which i believe is just another vinland saga,

the picture below shows the smelter from above, the painting is behind the smelter.
out the cave, in the sand stone, is anthracite coal seams, needed to smelt the ore.

Hmmm

I'm sure that I can handle it, but the pic is too small to make out details.

eagledown , "handle it" was a joke.
the old shaman i took to the cave told me "only the predecessors of the people who created the art can see it and understand it."
with that said look closer at the painting and think , faces of the artist who painted it.
we have decided to go back and try down stream, to get away from the big bolders. for me, 2 hours of digging caused two days of virtago, but it should be worth it.
the blue hole was there 25 years ago, it did not go away.

Now, that pic is great. Unfortunately, this old indians eyes are not what they use to be.

[hmmm]

Before the shaman's chiefs son died, the son of the old chief told me his father was really interested in what i found. the old chief was killed by a drunk driver, sad, actually they have all 3 passed away now. the son told me that the person who knew the story's and location of the caves was the harpoon man, because the builders where going to come back via water and it was the harpoon man who would first see them.
i think the reason the natives could not see the painting is because they never knew what the white man looked like. un fortunately like drakes story , it to is locked up.
i will say , these caves and the art work is directly connected to slumaches lost gold mine. But the big question is , who is the little man in the caves.
