Wow! Wiita Mining and Exploration has been asked to do a television series for The Men's Outdoor and Recreation Channel. We are going to call the show North American Treasure Hunter. My wife Jennifer, and myself are going to write, produce, film, and edit the series that we hope will premier in 2008. We're going to shoot this series all over the Western United States. We're going to visit the best gem, and mineral collection sites, relic hunt in ghost towns, prospect for gold in areas open to the public. Some of the sites are fee dig sites, but many are on open BLM land open to collecting.

Well I knew filming this series was going to be an adventure, , but I never figured Murphy could follow us across the Western United States. I'm sure you have all heard of Murphy, the old anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

Well it really wasn't that bad, but I'm sure you heard about the wildfires in Utah, we were there trying to find areas not blocked off by fire fighting lines, so needless to say we had to skip a few Utah shows. Next stop Colorado, well our family had a snowball fight on June, 27 up on Independance Pass. If you were watching the news around that time maybe you heard about the mudslide in Buena Vista, Colorado after 5" of rain in 2 hours, yup we were there also. There were no clear enough days to tackle Mount Antero, although with a little help from the great folks at The Rock Doc Rock Shop in Nathrop, Colorado we found some fantastic locations to film. The Rock Doc in Nathrop is a must stop, this shop, and its employees were awesome, so knowledgible. Thanks again Cindy, check out their website at www.therockdoc.net          or call them at 719-539-2019 these people LOVE rocks, my kinda people.  So between Fires, and floods we managed  to get some great footage, and we finally lost Murphy somewhere in Arizona.  

North American Treasure Hunter is going to be a little different than other similar shows. First of all, a piece of treasure from each show will be raffled off to one of the viewing audience, yea no kidding. Whether it's a gold nugget, relic, or gem stone one of our lucky viewers will get it for their personal collection. At the end of each North American Treasure Hunter we will accept e-mails for 48 hours, print them out, and draw the lucky winner. We will NEVER sell, or give out any of these e-mail addresses. After the drawing all entries will be shredded, and disposed of properly. 

All emails must be sent to: Natreasurehunter@aol.com

Please check out our show schedule page, it has alot of MUST SEE locations that we encountered along our travels.
