Newspaper article....5 minutes of fame

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose.....can't quite get this photographed so that you can read it. See I have a project this year..to learn this digital camera better. Anyway it's the Bedford/Sackville weekly news dated the 08Feb08. Was fun to talk about this great hobby and she got most of it right in the article.



Here is the link to read the story. A few misquotes include amount last year which she quoted as $1200 was actually half that and the email was wrong with the right one being lasarkany@hotmail.com

Thank God that he gave us such a great hobby to enjoy each others company and the great outdoors!

Looks more like your 15 min. of fame. Nice story Les. Now that they messed up and said you found $1200 you will have to carry 2 detectors at all times. One to detect with, one to fend of the competition BTW, I think we all dream of the ultimate find.........I'm still looking for my gold coin

Very nice story! Have you gotten a lot of detecting requests since the story was run?

I can't think of anyone better suited as an ambassador of the hobby, so I have to give you my thanks. You make us all look good in the public eye, and I appreciate it.
