Now that's a lot of change, bet the metal detector guys are itching to go in as soon as the clean up is finished. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman ANA Life Member #3288 in good standing since 1982 • 2¢ variety collector. |

There may be "left-overs" after the wrecking yard magnetic crane leaves the area, since not all of Cananda's coinage is magnetic...is it?

 If you plan on going metal detecting there at this time of this year be sure to take a lot of bug repellent with you. It'll soon be black fly time in them thar' woods.

With all that repellant, the ephasis must be on the word 'FLY'!

They'll be finding coins around that area for years.

Watch the video, they put a lot of useless effort into clearing all of that. After all, its a guarantee that if the authorities left it alone and returned in a few days they would find it had all been cleaned up for them.  Seriously - a comment on the page said that insurance would cover this for Brinks? If this is true, I wonder what they do with the coins? I also hope the drivers come out of this OK.

They claim on the news that they have recovered 95%, and the truck is on route to Toronto with police escourt.

They might make the area, a no detecting zone, soon I`m sure that there is some locals who have already been there with their machines.

I think after these coins are gathered the RCM can make a profit on them by marketing them as "truck crash" coins similar to shipwreck coins.
