Comments on the location information

  • Changed County to Tolland (was previously listed incorrectly as Hartford), based on location shown on USGS map GQ-1320. Entered more precise lat/long determined by using USGS 1:24,000 topographic map from on-line USGS Geographic Names Information systems (GNIS) [as plotted in Google Earth] to plot gold location shown on USGS map GQ-1320. Changed datum from NAD27 to WGS84

    [Previous coordinates: 42.02300, -72.20100; Datum: NAD27]
