 Larry Ehlinger of the EARTH Metal Detecting Club of Central NY will be giving a presentation at the Oriskany Museum on Saturday June 1, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. Ehlinger has been detecting for over twenty years and has amassed an impressive collection of coins, jewelry, and tokens as well as mundane items like bullets, buttons, pocket knives, ax heads and iron farming tools and relics. Much of his presentation will focus on his recent recovery of colonial-era artifacts discovered by chance along the Mohawk River corridor. He will also discuss respectful recovery methods and how his many finds are researched, preserved and displayed for future historical education. Admission is free and no reservations are necessary.
The Oriskany Museum is located at 420 Utica Street in Oriskany, NY and is open to visitors Wednesday through Saturday from 1-5 p.m. For additional information about the museum or this event, please visit oriskanymuseum.com or call the museum at 315-736-7529. Find this event on Facebook.

Ever since, I always have the desire to be part of EARTH Metal Detecting Club of Central NY! Now that there will be a presentation about what they do that will happen in Oriskany Museum, I would love to catch it because I am sure that it is an event worth going to. You know that these artifacts are saying something about the past we have, so we must really care about such things. Studying it would be a great and ideal thing and EARTH Metal Detecting Club would be a huge help for this matter. Leave a Reply. |
