Earth Ghosts: The Search Begins

Earth Ghosts is a look back at the not-to-be-duplicated days of metal detecting in Ontario, Canada during a time of huge opportunity made possible by the introduction of major technical advances in detector development.

There was a time when the soil at parks, public areas, schools and fairgrounds was crowded with signals and finds. No quiet ground. You were busy constantly.

You hear startling tales today of barely touched northern lakes where the fishing simply boggles. There was a time when targets and finds in the field for the metal detecting enthusiast were equally amazing.

Join the author as he revisits some of those magical days in the search for lost treasure at sites that once couldn't be visited enough.
