Red River Gold

In 1870, a trove of gold coins disappeared without a trace. The coins were on their way to fund a military force marching across Canada to confront Louis Riel and the Métis during the Red River Resistance. The gold has never been recovered and the Royal Mint of England still considers it lost or stolen. Now, a group of treasure seekers want to find it!

Memphis Pambrun, a Métis musician, podcast host and owner and operator of a satellite/aerial imagery and data company, along with Laurie, a genuine treasure hunter, metal detector expert and self-proclaimed explorer, and local Métis guide Bill "Moose" Marsh, travel the Old Dawson Trail on the search for the missing gold. The trail is a historic and abandoned "highway" that once connected the Canadian East with the West.

Armed with metal detectors, trowels, backhoes, and the latest technology in radar and topographic imagery, these treasure hunters travel through the traditional homeland of the Métis, discovering and analysing clues as to the lost gold's location. Along the way, the team meets with historians and long-time locals, gathering oral and written historical knowledge to aid in their search. Ultimately, the team uncovers more than a gold bounty; they unearth truths, both storied and physical, about the culture and history of the area, from a Métis perspective. Each story, and physical artefact that they find, leads them further down the abandoned trail ... and one step closer to the gold.
