Another CT member it seems

[Twobit]

Hello all and thanks for the knowledge I've already gleaned from your pages. I'm a history nut from central CT who has recently caught the bug. I have been fascinated by the hunt for spaces that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years but only recently realized that I should be out there inspecting them. I have some good leads lined up and lots of permission requests queued up but there's much I have to learn.

Welcome aboard Lou from western MA. Del (Dan) and I do some work with archaeologists in CT, and have been helping preserve some history of the early battlefields in our area. Whatever machine you have, someone here can help you with the basics of operating it.

Hello and Welcome from Northern Illinois

[Twobit]

Thanks for the warm welcome all. I really look forward to meeting up with others and learning some. I'd also happily donate my time to some archeologists. I know the anthropology staff at CCSU as I was one if their victims...errm..students...be cool if I could help out Dr. Feder.
Right now I'm learning my Ace 350 and I think I've got a decent feel for it. I'm working on my ability to differentiate when to go for the deeper stuff and when to pass. I'm always curious and I love trying to figure out the "story" of a small area based on the things I find in it....so it's hard to not dig...

This hobby is clearly addictive as I keep losing focus while driving because I'm busy looking for juicy spots to investigate...

I ran the ace 350 and remember it being a seriously deep machine.

[Twobit]

Well, it's all I know but I have found pennies at 8 inches. I'm not sure how that compares to others. I use it with no discrimination and avoid the specialized modes because I figure I need to learn its voice. Once I found what appears to be a burned down barn and had to tune out the hundreds of old nails that seemed to outnumber the grass...but I feel like I must have missed something interesting.

Welcome and good luck. You have a lot of stiff competition up there. Safe & HH

Welcome from Illinois!

It sounds like you have been bitten by the metal detecting bug! You seem to be well on your way to learning your Ace 350. Definitely lots of history up there in CT and many sites to investigate.

Best of luck and be sure to keep us posted on your progress!
