I'm not a nugget hunter, but a few things that may help others answer your question: Are you talking about fed, state, county or city land?

And oddly, the answers can vary depending on what you're finding/searching for. For example, sometimes there's cultural heritage verbage when it comes to detecting .... right? But naturally occuring nuggets are not under the over-or-under 50 yr., rule, so would having nothing to do with archaeological garbage. And ... heck, some people are even now meteorite hunting, so they would side-skirt any rules about minerals and such, since, afterall: meteorites come from space, and are not produced from the ground. Or heck, better yet: you're just looking for the wedding ring your wife lost here last week, RIGHT? :)

Welcome to the addiction from White Plains, New York! I run a gold prospecting school in Arizona, where I grew up. On our BLM page BLM, Bureau of Land Management Office Locations I have listed all of the BLM offices. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), http://www.blm.gov is the agency that can answer your questions. The other suggestion I have, is to join a local club. Google "Connecticut Gold Prospecting Club." Good Luck!
