The second Bonus Prize — six one-ounce gold coins valued at over $34,000 — was discovered this week near Nipissing Falls in Cobalt, Ontario.The discovery adds to the excitement of the national treasure hunt, giving Canadians the opportunity to search for more than $1.3 million in hidden gold across the country — combining the regional bonus prizes and the ultimate $1+ million treasure still waiting to be found.The successful treasure hunter, Simon Fallon of Hamilton, Ontario, received the latest clue on Tuesday afternoon and spent the evening decoding it with his father, who has been a close companion throughout the hunt. The pair set out from Hamilton at 2 a.m., arriving in Cobalt at dawn. After several hours of searching throughout the area, their persistence paid off when they uncovered the hidden Treasure Box near Nipissing Falls just after midday.Asked about how he felt when he found the treasure, Fallon said, \"Still feels very surreal, but yeah, happy as can be.\"\"We were at the location, and I was determined to go systematically — grid-style search… you sort of have the feeling where this could be it. Definitely disbelief, and just a quiet, 'Wow, we got it.'\"Cannot view this video?
