New Doc Series Includes Local Actor and Treasure Hunt for “Lost Gold” The tales have been passed on for generations about a gold coin stash hidden along the Dawson Trail that, by today’s value, could be worth $1,000,000. Now a team is out our way creating a new documentary series that includes a contemporary search for the gold and a portal into the true history. Local resident Mark Lanouette was cast as the rider responsible to move the gold along the newly completed Dawson Trail. “He was the perfect man for the job to help us film our re-enactment scenes of the solider on a horse tossing the gold on the Dawson Trail,” said series Producer Hannah Hermanson. Filming is taking place in La Coulee, Richer, Ste. Anne, East Braintree, Winnipeg, Falcon Lake area, all along the Dawson Trail, including the Whitemouth and Brokenhead Rivers. It will air on APTN sometime in late 2024.
