Alec and I are making a road trip Connecticut at the end of March. My wife booked us a room for a few nights so we can detect "Out East"
How cool is that? As it turns out, Hiluxyota is driving out the same week to meet up with us.. I'm keeping at least one day open in the hopes of meeting some of our Forum friends.
And of coarse, we plan on doing some door knocking while there.
Soooo, if anybody would like to get together for a hunt, let us know.:detecting:

We are getting there on Friday. So Saturday the 26th could work. My wife booked us a room in Rocky Hill. She kind of threw a dart at a map.
. Anyway, thanks for the invite, it would be great to meet you and maybe find something old.

Rocky hill is very centered in the state and only about 35 to 40 minutes away from me and that saturday will work out fine . I been researching a lot of sites so far this year and will save a couple for you and Al . I look forward to meeting you and Al .

Ive got a site that is big enough to handle a lot of people and its in rocky hill... which is handy , lot of history dating back to early 1700s and Ive hit about one percent of it.

Maybe... Might be out of the way, but could cut through Glastonbury to get back to Rocky Hill... That's also depending on which site Dan chooses.

He, Drew and I can be the NE ambassadors. Lol.

No wonder you were texting. You had a big spot to tackle. Right outside of Middletown, Rocky Hill is fairly old.

Don what kind of settings do you use on E-trac. I see you find a lot of coins. Is it because you hunt a lot of hours and places? Need all the help I can find. This will be my 2nd year with the etrac. I could use any advice you could give. You could send me a PM of your settings. Thanks.

You need to attend the Tony Two-Cent school of metal detecting! It's not so much about the machine as it is the technique. Don and Alec can show you in person (if they are willing). It's hard to describe in writing. HH, Dave.

If there's a site large enough for another, count me in. Be great to detect with the Illinois guys and many CT folks I have yet to hunt with.

Trooper Bri , is trying to get us permission on a 10 or 12 acre field that had a colonial home on it once as soon as I hear from him about an answer i'll give out particulars on the details . I t probably won't be this saturday though but maybe another day next week .
