They should find some very interesting stuff. Most of the area around there is still woods and farmland and has not been developed. I would have loved to take a metal detector over that property when I visited...

The Saratoga National Historical Park 9 miles south of Saratoga, New York, includes the battlefield, a visitor center, the restored country house of American General Philip Schuyler, a monument, and Victory Woods where the British surrendered on October 17, 1777.

Would like to get there sometime. How far is it from Eastern PA?

One of my ancestors was captured there in 1777. He was a British soldier. After his release, he never returned to England but stayed in America and started a family here.

This will be interesting. Archeology at the Little Bighorn added quite a bit to the historical narrative. Good stuff.
