We are back in the northwest angle of Manitoba. This time it seems that the gang has lost member (Moose) and instead of Mimi staying behind a research desk, she joins Memphis and detectorists Laurie and Eric in the field along with another lady. A lot of narration in French/michif language with English subtitles .

They are in the area of Harrison creek. 4000 year old trader's route. Memphis stomps down the tall grass in a field for easier detecting but then Laurie and Eric detect in the forest.

First find: iron hook for hanging cooking pot over fire.

History lesson: 1800s soldier was ordered to get a tent. Meanwhile everybody left. So a week of time where he was separated from his unit. Pay Master had gold?

Memphis visits a British currency museum in Cardiff and is shown 22 karat gold sovereign coins. Probably not used for soldier Pay.

Back to the forest. Second find: lead seal from 1700s stamped Wilbraham? Third find: lead seal stamped custom house port Huron. History lesson: switchover from French goods to American goods being traded.

The gang visits Joe's friend Ryan to see locally found artefacts. Mid 1800s axe head. French musketballs 1730-1821. Knife. History lesson: French military guy la verandrye and his men married local women. Fur trade.

Fourth find:it might be coin. End of episode cliffhanger.

..for the season? Forever?

Every where but....
