Linda Foster swings her metal detector through Raymond Park in search of buried treasure. She ordered the detector at the start of the pandemic two years ago and usually searches with her husband. “It was the best thing we did.” Since then, she has turned up 19th-century coins, pocket watches—and many tin cans in Evanston. On a trip to Italy, she and her husband uncovered money dating back to 1585. “It was a thrill because we were the first people in almost 500 years to touch the coin.” (Photo by Richard Cahan)

Linda and Edmondo are personal friends. I have so enjoyed hearing of their “metal detecting travels”. I am also thankful for their professional approach as well as their helping to clean up our fair city, knowing how much garbage they dispose of. Thanks, guys!
