	Searching for Artifacts from Conn.'s Tribe-Settler War « on: July 12, 2010, 09:07:31 AM »

Artifacts of a battle between a Native American tribe and English settlers, a confrontation that helped shape early American history, have sat for years below manicured lawns and children's swing sets in a Connecticut neighborhood. A project to map the battlefields of the Pequot War is bringing those musket balls, gunflints and arrowheads into the sunlight for the first time in centuries.

Nice of those homeowners to let the folks, working on the project, detect their yard.

I thought this tidbit was interesting. "A 2007 Congressional report found 62 percent of known American battlefields are on what is now private property." Sue

better on private property where we stand a chance to search them than to have the federal or state government sieze them as "historical sites" never to be hunted or touched by "amatuers" except under the direct supervision of archeologists......besides, a very large number of American battles took place on what was, at least nominally, private property when the battle was fought.
