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!
Here is a photo from our last time there!

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.
Don , looking toward your guys visit . Hopefully we can get together With Al and Drew and a few others for another field hunt and I'll see about getting a couple of permission sites too.
Dan
Thanks Dan. That would be awesome, we had such a great time with you guys last time! You're all definitely a fun bunch to be around!Quote:

Have fun guys. I will be on the other coast that week. Definitely need to do this someday soon!
Who knows what we will find but colonial finds has always been a dream of mine. Hoping for good luck ��.
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.
We appreciate the welcome Al. I really enjoyed the field hunts last time. I'd be happy to come home with just one copper. If not, oh well, I'm going to have fun trying!Quote:

I hope that I will get to see you guys at some point this time. That would be great.
All the recent finds are inspiring. Hope you all are leaving a few for us!! Hope to meet you Donnie. :)
Hi Al! I'd love to join you if you'll have me and meet all the mid-westerners. I can't believe it's been a year since we emptied Southwick. Hope to hear from you.Quote:

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)!Quote:

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.
Good luck in my backyard tomorrow!! Wish I was around!
Good luck Don, Alec and Tim! I'm sending all my Connecticut mojo your way!
