GOLD DISCOVERED
In Sept. 1858 Lieutentant C. L'Estrange went on a hunting trip on
the Tangier River which empties into Ship Harbour. In all probability,
John
Pulsifer was his guide when he discovered gold bearing quartz and
it would have been John Pulsifer who dislodged the specimen showing a trace
of the metal. Robert B. Taylor wa also with John Pulsifer
when he discovered the gold. The locale was later given the name
of Mooseland.
Because of this discovery, John Pulsifer was the first to find native gold in Nova Scotia
