We're not sure exactly where we are going to stay yet. In the past we have stayed in Rocky Hill. We had such a good time the last two times we were there that we're heading back.
We will be arriving early morning on Saturday the 12th of April. My buddy Tim (NOAH) will be accompanying Alec and I this trip.
I really hope that we can get together with some of our New England friends this trip as well.
If anyone has any free time that week, we would love to get together for a hunt!

I envy you Don! I had SUCH a great time in Connecticut. The guys took us to all the best spots too. Such hospitality! I wish I could go with you. Best wishes and I hope you score a gold coin.

Looks like the mid-westerners are coming back to pillage our area...again. Hey guys you are more than welcome and I will do my best to try to secure a field(my favorite type of hunting). I usually have tues, wed and thur off.

If not, oh well, I'm going to have fun trying!

It's getting closer!!!
We'll be leaving Illinois 30 days from today. ( arriving and ready to hunt Saturday morning, April 13th. )
I'm looking forward to seeing you guys again. Other than our arrival time, we have made no plans yet so we are open to anytime / any day for whoever might have time to get together. It's noah's first time out there. I think I might have to plant a few Rosies for him to find. LOL

The beauty of detecting in Connecticut is you can get a Rosie and a KG III right next to each other! Pretty hard to do that in Illinois (yes I remember)!

I should be available to detect that morning with you guys , I'm hoping to do it again that Sunday as well . Hopefully I'll have an old colonial field to detect and get a few of us members together .

Saturday (tomorrow) we will be detecting a very old couple of fields in Pomfret Ct , any members nearby who would like to join us are more than welcome . I know of some very decent old colonial coppers have been found there in the past and the fields are very large and in no way hunted out . Please message me and I'll give the location and time to meet up .

Good luck to the American Detectorist gang ! The showers expected overnight might help those fields give up some extra goodies. You know Dan will get all the shoe buckles but hopefully there will be a copper or two in all your pouches at the end of the day.
