Detecting during an Earthquake

Got out to one of my old colonial sites Sunday morning to do a little detecting. The only excitement for the hunt was an earthquake. I heard this loud low rumbling noise and thought it was a squadron of jet fighters from the base on Cape Cod coming towards me. After no jets appeared I thought that must have been an earthquake. Turns out I was about 8 miles from the epicenter. The odd bit is I didn't feel any shaking...just heard the roar from the magnitude 4 quake. I called my wife and she said the dishes and pics on the wall and stuff in the attic rattled pretty good for a few seconds, but no major damage reported anywhere in the area.

I wish I could say it shook a few coppers to the surface but no such luck. ;)

Quakes aren't that common out your way are they?!?

I felt one that woke me up in the early 1980s in Danbury, CT. It was difficult to roust me in those days. :lol: They nicknamed me Sleepy Drew on the college intramural teams. I thought I gained the moniker with my calm, smooth jump shot, but I guess it was because I didn't get up until noon.
