Canada is just above the US. Lots of treasure hunters up here always in search of a good target ID machine. There are some nasty soils up here as well as
mild soils. Canadian coins are a different composition than US coins and can be a real challenge for most ID machines on the market.
Personally think the folks up here can use a new detector to brighten up the days. Most are kind of stuck on the same brand, model machines and perpetuate
the promoting and selling sub par machines to beginners, they themselves bitched about being terrible machines that they couldn't wait to get rid.
I try and interject into my posts on the CA forums about other machines that I bought up from the US and how they handle CA coins and dirt............
I lived on the Buffalo, NY border with Canada since 1960. Canada is just short hop across the bridge spanning the Niagara River, for me was also like playing in the
neighbors backyard. Have hunted for relics and coins since 1969 on both sides of the border. Since 2007, moved to Canada permanently.
Just wondering if anyone is getting a Racer in Canada? I have made some extensive postings on one CA forum since the Racer Xmas picture came out to enlighten
the Canadians. Would be interesting to see how the Makro units work up here.

hobbyists set out knowing they might encounter junk to find money.

I do come across some Canadian coins here in Oregon through the years, to include the old Large Cents, or the better quality small cents similar to the good ones the US used to have, before going to the thin copper wash on a Zinc cent that will get pitted through in a very short time after being lost. From time to time I get a more modern coin from up your way, but often used them in a local purchase.
