:canadaflag:CBC reporter called me

[Leslie(nova scotia)]

From the land of the Bluenose....had a reporter from CBC call and asked me how the new treasure trove laws will effect metal detectorists. To this I responded not at all as the revamped act deals primarily with commercial salvager...........good news or just the start?

When asked by the reporter regarding what laws I as a detectorist would like to see in place one thought came to mind.....Like the UK who have their shi# in place.

Jack indicated that he will forward my name in relation to a possible appearance on CBC TV Morning show regarding our hobby.

A few years ago I did a similar show on tv...was a hoot! Lady was sweet!

Also stress things like we make playgrounds safer by removing sharp metal trash that could injure a child, or how we take out the trash from fields we hunt, thereby performing a FREE public service...How we try to locate and educate new hunters. Also how we DO NOT condone those who are rogues in the hobby and feel the rules do not apply to them...That this hobby is more of a brotherhood/sisterhood kind of thing and how we like to share our knowledge and rules with others...And as stated how we try to find the rightful owners of a find whenever possible...
Thanks for representing...
