I used to be in winnipeg, great detecting spots that way, grand beach and all the other ones on lake winnipeg, birds hill park, I never did get to the old dance hall area where a train would take people from winnipeg all the way up to lake winnipeg area back in the day, it has a short summer but a good one! I moved out to the okanagon in BC, much longer summers...and the dry arrid heat is much better! You probably need a jackhammer there right now to hunt eh.
