hi gnerble, Welcome and Best of luck with your operation & recovery. I'm also in the FingerLakes and that's a great area where you are, I've had permissions in the past and done some hunting in Hector and Lodi. I use a Tesoro Toltec ll I bought from a friend and love the machine, and at this point I don't ever plan on buying anything other than Tesoro in the future. Good luck with your equipment purchases and hunting.

Last year (well, end of 2015) did some research for some articles I helped out on for the local historical society, whom I write for from time to time. We figured there was a camp somewhere between Hector and Ovid, whether it was Lodi or not is debatable. Still, they went through here for sure, and they had a lot of men in front and behind the main group so I assume they could have camped anywhere. I remember reading about the abandoned indian campfires and such they kept finding as they moved along.

I know where all the big camps were just need the OK on the land you might know the owners.
I have access the over 60 different officers day by day reports of the whole Sullivan Expedition,my avatar USA Buttons came from that research .
The first scouts of Sullivan report in the village near Lodi they found a brightly painted elevated rectangle box 6 to 7 feet long, with a small hole at each end....in side was a dead Indian...he must have been important.
Luke Sweat A prisoner of the Seneca`s told of being held captive in a cave near that village also.
You ever heard of any cave up there ?

I thought you were very ill and could not hunt anymore,if you are feeling up to it maybe we could meet up with gnerble and choppa and work out a hunt .
I go out most every day and have found older maps of our area and lots of great old spots you won`t believe.
Let me know if you are well enough now to hunt .

Hi Gary, I did a 4 hour hunt on Sunday for the first time in along time and still suffering from it, but getting better slow but sure. I look forward to getting together with you again and banging out some finds. When I see you next I will fill you in on whats going on. Greg

I would LOVE to read your primary sources on this, as I planned on doing a few follow up articles on the Sullivan push through the area. I will ask around about the cave. I don't think it's near the waterfall, but maybe above toward town.

As for me, this is day 11 since I had my kidney removed. I'm still pretty sore. Pathology came back positive as cancer, but it was so deeply contained in the kidney that I only have a 10-15% chance of recurrence. No need for chemo/radiation or any of that, just CT scans and whatnot to keep an eye on things. It'll be awhile before I can do much, as doc doesn't even want me lifting more than 10lbs for the next couple months. I'm healing well, though!

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

Nice to see so many people from my part or the woods. I grew up there and still hunt over in Interlaken. I'm in the big town of Waterloo now. I am in the market for a detector too. I have used a Bounty Hunter Commander and a couple cheaper bounty hunters. I am looking at the Fisher F series but I am keeping an open mind. Probably get a mid range detector and a good pin pointer. The Tesoro has come up a few times in my research. I can't get out to much due to new 9 to 5 job. That is the one thing I miss about my old sales job, made my own schedule. Send me a PM if you want to chat. Most of my research has been in the Waterloo area but I am very curious about the Lodi, Interlaken history.

Looking for fellow metal detectors to hunt with. I live in Hammondsport Ny. If your interested please let me know. I believe we met at a swap meet 5 or 6 years ago and you invited me down to your area but somehow lost your number and life happened.
