Newsletter 1 NMTHA NEWS Volume 1, Issue 1 June 2010 I NSIDE T H IS I SSUE 2Member photos 3 Classifieds 4 Changes And Info. First News letter! Chris Lewis Co-FounderWell it looks like we have moved up and got a Newsletter going for NMTHA. It has been a work in progress but we got there. This will be a monthly Newsletter that will be emailed out to everyone, and will also be available at the meetings. If you have any thing that you would like to add to this newsletter, please email it over to me at [email protected]and I will insert it into the following month’s news letter. You can send pictures, articles etc. If you do send an article that was not written by you, please provide source and original authors name that way they receive proper credit for their work. “Construction Sites” Chris Lewis Co-FounderWe are all familiar with our state flowers, the “orange barrels”. Yes these construction sites can be a pain in the ass while driving but can be very productive when it comes to detecting spots. Don’t pass up these opportunities for possible great finds.When asked to give some tips on what to look for in finding a good construction site, here was my response: “Just keep an eye out for anywhere they are tearing up streets and especially sidewalks. Can be in commercial or residential areas. No need to gain permission hunting public streets or between streets up to including sidewalks. Between sidewalks and buildings is considered private but most people don't mind if it is already dug up. But they can kick you off. Obviously the older the area the better. Look for buildings / homes built in the 1800's. Remember, historical towns are usually considered off limits but then again if already being torn up I consider fare game
