I actually found a literal native burial ground while camping.

I came across several sunken in mounds and disturbed ground in the middle of a remote forest. Had no idea what it was at first until I noticed some "totems sticks" hanging in the trees above. I then considered the mounds might be graves. It seemed like an unlikely Scooby-Doo plot when I first considered it, but I later confirmed it with a local native historian. He went into his archives and found a report from the early '70s on the specific spot. interesting read. It used to be a spiritual site and hunting camp hundreds of years ago, and more recently became a burial ground. It appears to be unused now. Most recent burial was in 2003, according to a plaque nailed to one of the trees. I didn't notice the plaque at first because it had grown upwards with the tree. It was quite high up and I only accidentally spotted it while hunting grouse.

I actually go back and camp there very frequently. It is an excellent location, aside from the spoopy graves. Excellent gold panning, geode collecting, and sight seeing nearby. There are some caves filled with quartz, a couple waterfalls, and some spectacular summer swimming holes. Fishing and hunting is also very good. It is extremely remote and I've never seen people there, besides a couple natives doing some kind of dance / chant on New Years Day. I was respectful and left when I saw them.

Don't have any pics of the graves, but here's the swimming hole immediately below them.

We swim a little ways downstream. Glacier fed and freezing, but worth it on a hot day.

Never seen another person here in 5+ years of camping and hiking. Won't find the trail online anywhere or in a map book because we carved it and kept it hidden.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge about this sort of stuff. I'm mostly just a bushcraft guy / hunter. Appreciate the info!

Anyway, my spot is a pretty much unknown area on a giant native reserve in remote Canada. The entire region is gated off and sees no public use. I have a key / access due to being on good terms with my local band (long story). That said, I have literally never seen signs of anyone else in this area in 4 years of frequent camping. I don't think anyone goes there.

I'm wondering now -- could this spot be a hidden goldmine (no pun)? Is quartz a good indicator of gold?

It's worth mentioning that last summer I panned this river and found a whole bunch of small flakes of gold beneath the black sand in my pan. I thought that was normal though because it was my first time trying and I had no idea what I was doing.

Pic related. My summer swimming hole.
