Hurr y in next week! Clean out your attics, closets and lock boxes, because Treasure Hunters are coming to Oakville & Markham.

While the event will accept anything that's old, they will be focusing on: gold and silver coins made before 1970, military items, toys and trains, musical instruments, pocket and wrist watches. Scrap gold is expected to be a popular category next week due to soaring gold prices. Buyers for the event have noticed a tremendous increase in the amount of gold coming in, and for good reason. Record gold prices have guests cashing in on broken or outdated jewellery with fair and honest purchase offers. Event planners encourage anyone planning a visit to take a minute and examine their jewellery box or their lock box at the bank and gather anything that is gold. If a guest is not sure if something is gold, bring it in and the staff will test it for free. Other gold items of interest include gold coins, gold ounces, gold proof sets and dental gold. Other types of items specialists hope to see include vintage guitars. Eddie Stambaugh, one of THR's MONTE CARLO INNS 374 S SERVICE RD.
