I have read some of the stories of gold history in BC but never heard that one!
I had a couple of gold pans for awhile and hit every creek I could find,,,most I ever got were a few flakes. I almost went with Gold-panin-Bob into the BC interior to suck gold nuggets up from the wild rivers during low water. He had this back-packable dredge-suction gizmo and needed a partner...I almost took him up on the offer but had wives & kids to look after...he came back that summer with a fucking briefcase full of huge nuggets!!!
The next year gold values skyrocked and he sold it for a big pile of cash, bought the sister fishboat to my little one, got married and lived happily everafter---
---had I jsut gone along I too would have this legacy eh!

...Really nice picture BTW--I love that wild coast country~

Looks like a postcard...simply beautiful. Love the color of that water too. :)
