| Great Canadian gold hunt
So this company has hidden over a million dollars in gold. There is a poem that has clues to where the location is. https://treasure.northernminer.com

Thanks ChatGPT... Quote:
Key Clues from the Poem
General Theme
Mining references everywhere: copper, zinc, iron, gold, chalco, Flinty’s claim, the Shield.
Suggests the Canadian Shield and historical mining regions.
Specific Lines
“Beyond the clouds where glaciers reign… Yet peaks mislead with gilded hue / The path lies where the birch trees grew” → Northern Canada, birch forest regions around Ontario/Quebec.
“Salt air once bore a copper song” → Maritime copper mines? But then: “The current pulls where moss still wefts” hints at rivers.
“Where fire stitched a northern name / And red seams sparked a fleeting flame” → Sudbury, Ontario. Famous for the “Big Nickel” and meteorite impact, copper/nickel mining, red seams = ore.
“A giant coin reflects the sun” → This is almost certainly the Big Nickel in Sudbury.
“Where chalco fever gripped the east / Where Flinty’s claim once never ceased” → Chalco = chalcopyrite (copper ore). “Flinty’s claim” sounds like historical Ontario mining claims.
“The Shield bends low through sleeping trees” → Refers to the Canadian Shield.
“Where iron sings and cedars lean” → Could point toward Northern Ontario iron ranges.
“Bathurst rang its deepest bell” → This is about Bathurst, New Brunswick, a famous zinc mining town (Brunswick Mine).
“Where suits and stones have struck accord / And Bay Street crowned the mining hoard” → Bay Street = Toronto, the mining finance hub.
“Not marked by gold but core alone / A silver rests in overgrown” → Could refer to Cobalt, Ontario (famous for silver rush).
“Look past the script, behind the brush / The compass turns, and all is hush” → Suggests the solution is geographical and linked to Canadian mining heritage.
Putting It Together
The Sudbury reference (“giant coin reflects the sun”) is too direct to ignore.
Bathurst (zinc), Cobalt (silver), and Bay Street (finance) are mentioned, but Sudbury ties them together as the iconic Canadian mining capital.
The compass image in the bottom of the page reinforces the theme of north / Shield / Sudbury.
✅ Decoded Location: The treasure points to Sudbury, Ontario — specifically the Big Nickel, symbol of Canadian mining.

ChatGTP gave me an exact location. Tried 3 other AI chatbots and only 1 of the 3 gave me the same location as chatgtp. The answer chatgtp gave you is different then mine.

I fed it through ChatGPT as well and it gave me the location in Bathurst, NB
Then I asked for a location close to Vancouver and it found one near the Britannia Mine Museum.
If anyone finds it there, lets go halfsies ok?

Create website > hide 1000$ in gold > charge 1$ for clues > get one of your own staff to find the gold and market the shit out of it.
Next goldhunt do 10,000 > still charge 1$ for clues, see how many people pay and sign up
Repeat with increases every time
That 1,000,000$ pot only needs 66,000 people to buy their 15$ "clue" plan, to break even.
