In search of ole Abijah !

[rip]

Got out today with Danback and family today.It was a very warm day for this time of year and i'm hoping it stays this way all winter ! We have been trying to locate the cabin site of Abijah Gilbert,the founder of Gilbertsville NY.We searched part of a large hayfield but havent located the site yet,but in the meantime Dan has been finding some decent coins( barber dime and 1840 large cent).This field was also a golfcourse at one time(1940's) so theres a possibility of finding colonial and modern coins.Also while researching Abijah i found the name of the Colonel that i think may have lost the "chicken colonal buttons" that i have found.His name was David Shaw and he was the leader of the local malitia during the war of 1812 and was also town superviser from 1826-28 and again in 1839,Have to research it some more though.I managed to find 1 very corroded buffalo 1 1928-d weat and 2 indians 1900 and 18?8.Dan's woopin me on find's for a change now that he's learning to work his minelab ! HH all !

You have been doing some good research. THat sounds like a place to dream of.
GOOD LUCK
