Jim Wosochlo will unveil pre-Civil War discoveries from his family's farm in Schuylkill County, Pa., at the Sept. 18 meeting of the Incorporated Orange County Chapter of the New York State Archaeological Association.
"According to my great-grandparents, a blacksmith lived at the site just before the Civil War," Wosochlo said. "Among the items discovered on this site are prehistoric Lehigh Broad (spear) points and other native artifacts. For the historic finds, I have a great coin collection including a counterfeit 1854 half dollar, a large group of buttons, pipe stems, marbles and other historic artifacts."
The group will meet at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 18 in the community room of the Goshen Methodist Church, 115 Main St, Goshen.For more information, e-mail ioccnysaa@gmail.com or go to http://ioccnysaa.blogspot.com/---www.recordonline.com
