So my buddy has a property with a foundation on it near the road. The result of being next to the road is that it was used for a dumping pit for years after. Looking on a map from 1850s shows a foundation that, according to the map, should be on the opposite side of the road. Turns out they messed up when they took that survey back in the 1850's. I decided to do a quick run to see if its worth picking the place up to detect. The only good signal I got out of the place after a quick hour or so scan was this epic new york state militia button! Guess I will be spending lots of time picking up iron and trash for awhile... I'm not sure about a date range for this button, can anyone help me out? The back is marked waterbury scovill mfg co. From what I can find it could be civil war, or possible even from the indian war? At one point the next town over from me was the furthest you could travel west, theres a site called the forbidden crossing. Apparently you were likely killed by natives if you crossed this trail or line.
