Hello all,
I'm just getting into Metal Detecting and i live in the Naugatuck Valley. Im curious if there has been anyone in the area who found anything. And if so can u give me any pointers in which areas or towns to look at for some treasure?
I'm in CT and I'm Vice President of a club called the Yankee Territory Coinshooters. We meet the second Tuesday of every Month at the East Hartford Public Library. I highly reccomend you come to a meeting. All are welcome and you won't be sorry you did. We have fun hunts all the time. let me know if you want more info.

Hi Casino Phil, I am also in the Naugatuck Valley area, this area is very rich in history dating back to the Revolutionary war, lots of places around here, are you a relic hunter or mainly coinshooter? I'd recommend going to your local historical society to peruse old maps, photos etc., they are usually very helpful, waterbury is also very rich in history, being the brass city, good luck.
I think I contacted you last year, schools and parks are great places especially the older places.
I have found anywhere people have been are good places, old houses are great if you can get permission.
I started working a old foundation hole in my home town of Wolcott, I found several mercury dimes a silver
Roosevelt dime a 1894 barber quarter and a eagle "I" military button. My buddy found a 1864 IHP at the same spot.
I found over a hundred wheat pennies last year and over 2000 modern coins, when I went to cash them in
the coin-star machine rejected about twenty dollars of nasty corroded pennies.
Last year was my first year but I think I did pretty good I have been detecting mainly in Wolcott and Southington
If you want to get together some time let me know, that goes for anyone in the area. I don't go into work until 5:00pm
so mornings and days are good for me.
