>>2007094yes i ve looked I think 3 times with local friends, twice by helicopter and once on foot. Its incredibly tough country to try and hike in, and weather can change without warning in those coast peaks.
We did find gold but not what was described by by the stories. mostly flower gold in small streams that appeared and disappeared at random with no real cause it seemed. I ve been to the approximate spot of Volcanic Browns camp but didnt find much there either. If the spot was a mine it has likely been wiped out by land slides or changing land features. The box canyon mentioned by Jaxon could match any number of locations up in those mountains. I do recall though we found a miners pick and a decomposed backpack, but that was from the late 60s not from the turn of the century.
