New England C.A.S.H. Bash Competition Hunt In Connecticut

Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts

Every year, when it is time for National Metal Detecting League competition hunt, C.A.S.H. Bash, the rains arrive to the North-East USA. But they did not stop my old treasure hunting buddies and me from going to Connecticut and join other detectorists from eight states for collective metal detecting fun!:) And it was great to get out of New York state (of mind) for a little while too!

Before We  Travel To Massachusetts

As soon as we left Albany, the Capital of New York State, got onto Mass Turnpike, and travelled through Massachusetts, the sky turned black. But it was still ok to drive normally. I noticed that all three of us were visually examining the passing by forest for any stonewalls or cellar holes, even in that poor visibility! That would be a strong habit of a treasure hunter!

We Reached Springfield, Massachussets, in No Time

Travel To Springfield Massachusetts

We passed by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, the $45 million, 80,000-square-foot facility, which was opened on September 28, 2002. Springfield is where the game of basketball was invented by James Naismith, a physical education student at the YMCA Training School, now Springfield College, in 1891.

The Basketball Hall of Fame has the three-story spherical museum with 35,000 square feet of exhibit space for basketball memorabilia and artifacts, three theaters, interactive kiosks with Hall of Famer data and trivia, a McDonald's "In the Zone" restaurant with basketball themes, a Reebok Concept Store and a Hall of Fame gift shop.To "Kid's Summer Camp Claire" on Page 2
