Okay, Canada… who’s ready to drop everything and go chase actual buried treasure? There’s a full-on nationwide hunt happening right now with $1 million in gold up for grabs.
It’s all put together by The Northern Miner newspaper, and here’s how it works: solve a 52-line poem that’s packed with cryptic clues about where the loot is hiding. The big prize? 217 one-ounce gold coins. Oh, and if that’s not enough to get your shovel hand twitching, there are also 12 smaller stashes worth $25,000 each tucked away across the country.
Before you go full “Indiana Jones,” a couple ground rules: don’t dig up someone’s backyard, stay away from dangerous spots, no crazy stunts, and you won’t need special gear. Just your brain, a love of puzzles, and maybe a buddy who’s good at reading riddles.
The poem drops hints about trees, water, minerals, landmarks… but heads up, there are fake-outs built in too. So yeah, it’s going to be a mental workout.
But the organizers say the real prize isn’t just the gold—it’s the adventure, the stories, and making it home safe.

(And no, I tried asking ChatGPT where the treasure is—it’s got nothing. 😅)
