After living here for over 40 years, being a plumbing repairman in town for 38 of those years and a metal detector hobbyist since 1982 I have gotten a certain notoriety alright!

My detecting exploits have gotten me a write-up in the Hartford Courant three times over the years. (Twice for returning rings and once for some comments about a question regarding the law about antiquities and metal detecting in Connecticut which was addressed by the States Attorney General in the next issue of the paper.)

Thanks for your kind words Fred,
