Hello all 😊
I hope your hunts have been fantastic. This past Sunday I was detecting my property and found an early 1800’s NY Militia button. I did some research and discovered during the War of 1812 they banded a large group of troops from all over to proceed from Dayton, OH to Detroit, MI. They would have walked through my land during that journey. So cool to think a gentleman on a journey, that may have been his last, dropped a reminder of his presence.
Happy hunting!
