English term or phrase: Go in Gold
It is placed as an exclamation. The character of the novel is about to start a task and says to himself Go in Gold.
I would like to know if this is an existing idiom or if the author invented it, and if so, how would you interpret it.
The author is Canadian.
Thank you in advance
