Back To Pazsaz Entertainment Network's Treasure Hunter: Kirsten Gum Page

Cascade Crystals
Blasting away the side of a mountain with explosives, rappelling down dangerous cliffs and working on death-defying ledges, all to find the rare combination of Pyrite and Quartz Crystals. Even getting trapped with the crew in this forest outside Seattle doesn't stop ther intrepid treasure hunter.

Golden Treasures
Kirsten battles death-defying cliffs, explosives and a locked forest service gate in search of the rare combination of Pyrite and Quartz Crystals. Pyrite is often called "Fool's Gold," but there is no fooling around during this high adventure for our treasure hunter. Then Kirsten turns back the hands of time - mining for real California gold like the 1849ers. She ultimately uses modern tools as well - diving into the freezing waters of the Mokelume River to get those shiny, valuable nuggets.

Volcanic Treasures
Kirsten is on the hunt for treasures created by volcanoes. First, she travels to the big island of Hawaii where Mt. Kilauea has been erupting for over 20 years. She dives for rare Hawaiian shells that live in lava tubes and tries her hand at the ancient art of spear fishing. Next stop is Modoc State Park in California to find the beautiful Rainbow Obsidian - a volcanic glass - that has been used by the Native American tribes here for centuries.

Treasures Of The Wild West
Join Kirsten Gum as she takes her treasure hunting skills to the peaks and valleys of the Wild West. First, she climbs to the top of a 14,000 ft. peak in Colorado in search of valuable gemstones: Aquamarine and Smoky Quartz. Then she saddles up her horse to work as a ranch hand in the desolation of West Texas to get some rare Red Plume Agate - the only place in the world where it's found.

Bones And Relics
Treasure hunting isn't all about gemstones and this week Kirsten is going off the beaten path for unusual finds. She will dive off the shark-infested coast of Florida in search of fossilized sharks' teeth and then brave the hot, sticky swampland of South Carolina to recover relics from the time plantations were a way of life.

Treasures Of The Deep
Kirsten never passes up an opportunity to treasure hunt in the ocean. This week's treasure is the delectable Dungeness Crab found off the Pacific Coast. Crab fishing is one of the most dangerous jobs around and she'll come face to face with rough seas, dangerous equipment and the wrath of these razor-clawed crustaceans. Then it's a beachcomber's dream. Kirsten kayaks to a hidden beach in the middle of San Francisco Bay and battles the dangerous surf off Santa Cruz in search of Sea Glass.
