Treasure Hunting

The Guatrain is a long railway project being constructed in South Africa. Supposedly there is a story milling about today *wink wink* how there has been a large find of gold coins that have halted the project all together. This is a 25 Billion dollar project that employs around 63k jobs, imagine all of that halted for a treasure discovery.

Construction of the Gautrain in Johannesburg has been halted for six months after workers found a large quantity of gold coins minted between 1892 and 1898 at the construction site in Rosebank. Excited historians believe the coins could be the missing Kruger millions.

Historians pointed out that they will need to further comb the area for any additional coins or other clues. Work on the Gautrain will be suspended from today.

We’ve mentioned geocaching on this site before, but Parks Canada is doing its part to help spread the word about this exciting activity.

Parks Canada has opened, and encouraging the use of, all of the national historic sites, national parks, and national marine conservation areas that they manage. New guidelines have been developed that will encourage wide and meaningful participation in this activity, which you can view here: Guidelines to encourage geocaching

It seems Parks Canada is asking the caches to be interesting stories about a favorite park area, hoping it will spread the enthusiasm for the parks and geocaching.
