No, I do not post on every treasure threads nor I have been on this one for many months and have a plan to write advice very few times a month to avoid being insulted. There are very few true treasure stories about Connecticut buried treasures and ghost towns. I always enjoy giving advice to young people about treasures hunting and the untrue stories. Yes, I had find other treasures hunters to search parks and beaches and for true buried treasures. I have no car, but a detector.

REMEMBER: The Golden Rule.

Good luck on your ghost town locations.
Don't depend on someone giving the exact locations of ghost towns, they've probably been picked over. Research and research some more on your own.

Depending on just how old they are, If they were located on old long gone Indian trails or long gone pioneer wagon trails instead of the roads today, they're gonna be a #$%*& to find. And some of those pre1900 maps aren't all that accurate. The earlier the map i found, the less accurate.
Research old maps for towns that disappeared on modern maps and then locate some reference point(s) shown on both the old and modern maps to triangulate the possible location.

I agree with Post 345. There are very few ghost towns in Connecticut that has not been written about. The known ghost towns has been search too many times to find coins and other things.

This hobby to me is '' Dig and see what I have found" I don't care about other people detecting on public land , I like to think that my detector can find what you missed. ------And my wife says I can find anything----- What more could you want????------------------------after1-----------

Same exact thing with sailors.... travel half way around the world, find some desolate cove on the far reaches of some out of the way island away from everything. Drop anchor and go to sleep... in the morning there will be a good chance another boat will be beside you... just like fishing... get a catch and here comes the knucklehead stampede. Detecting to me is more than looking for things, it's my alone time, my "me time". I never approach another boater, fisherman, or person detecting. You can bet anything, that when they get close they will want to talk about equipment... same thing hiking. Find some solitude, and poof like some kinda retarded magic trick, some guy appears wanting to know what kinda pack you have, and wanting to show off his stove., or boat, or ............ humans baffle the hell out of me.

I think most knuckleheads are too inept to find their own way, so they huddle together like cows.
