The Treasure Hunters Roadshow Is In the Patch Looking for Antiques

/

The Treasure Hunters Roadshow has been set up this week at the Best Western Otonabee Inn and they're looking to purchase your antiques. These include precious metals, jewellery, antiques and toys from before 1965, and other rare finds. There has been tremendous interest from Peterborough citizens, and the lineups have kept them past their 6 p.m. close-up time. Today, rare finds were a Beatles tray and a Martin guitar. The Treasure Hunters Roadshow will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. —words and pictures by Evan Holt
