I found out about this site, then moved out of the Northeast. Interested to know if anyone has detected it and also to provide this info to anyone who wishes to pursue it. This is a parcel donated to the town, has old carriage roads, unclear if detecting is allowed...here's what I found...
At the northern end, by Route 9, is a tablet about the forest. The land was donated by the wife of Henry Sargent Hunnewell in 1932 in recognition to beautify Natick. Known as the last, substantial piece of land in Natick held by Native Americans, it abuts the land occupied by the home of Captain William Farris, who was among the first English settlers of the town and may well have commanded Praying Indian troops in the mid-18th century.
