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
The Bedford Sackville Weekly News: News | Metal 'detectorist' can help find what's lost

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

Just great to see that you're having as much fun as a newbie even though you've been hunting for 3 decades. It's always good to see something in the press that is positive about TH'ing. Spring is just around the corner and we are all looking forward to seeing your finds for this season, they never disappoint.

Cheers,

Wow! What a great article. I really like how you really put such a positive light on our hobby. I think the perception is that we're more scavangers than anything, so to see that you're offering services for free is GREAT! I think that it's also good from a human standpoint because you're showing a willingness for human contact and kindness. Thanks Leslie, for being such an upstanding guy. Great job I'm honored to know you!!!!
