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 2010. 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. To see a clip for the first episode

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.
