hi folks im lee....new to detecting over here but done a lot in old england.
until yesterday i thought i was the only detectorist in ct !!! but last night i met angel who put me onto this site so oi oi (hello) to everyone.
the wife bought me a whites coinmaster for me birthday 3 weeks ago and after 20yrs away from the hobby im hooked again !!!
not found much yet...flintlock pull back thingy (dont know the real name for it) bit of dress jewlry and about 3o bucks in change ha ha ha (never thought i would get bored finding money i can spend but i am,,lol.
in england i found a lot of what i thought was great stuff....few roman constaintin 1 coins plenty of victorean bun pennys and a few george 2 farthings plus a lot of coins from edward to elizabeth 2 (god bless ya mam).
i live in old wethersfield in a house built in 1775 by james frances the master brick builder and im very much into history of any type,infact the last owner of the house has kept the inside just how it was in 1775.
anyway....hello to everyone and thanks to angel for putting me onto the site.
realy would like to pick your minds on places to go detecting and pointers on how i might start to find a few nice coins and relics.
ps...
im a butcher by trade so some steak and sausages could change hands if ya know what i mean....ha ha ha

Cheese token and a couple of zincs is considered a great day in the spots I hunt . thumbsup01 Those guys you're going to be hunting with will have you digging flowing hairs and King George coppers before you know it . :yes:
 
Lee it was great to meet you in person tonight at the metal detecting meeting , sorry i didn't get alot of time to talk to you as it gets a little crazy around us when George and i have some nice goodies to bring in . i would like to get together sometime when i have some free time with the exception of this weekend fridays and saturdays are usually good for me. hey give those areas around your yard a try . talk to you soon ,
