Dear New York History List: I received an inquiry on New York History Net this weekend that has me stumped. Can anyone help this fellow? Edward Knoblauch Webmaster, New York History Net Dear Mr. Knoblauch, I recently unearthed a lead Seal of The State of N.Y. while metal detecting near an old cellar hole in the Town of Solon, N.Y.. The seal appears to have been stamped into the lead and is very detailed. The reverse is however rough. Where can I get information on this type of find, its use, etc, etc.. The seal measures about 1.5" in diameter and is round. The obverse is rough (unworked) and has taken on a white glazelike coating as old lead does. There are no holes in the seal. I do not know much about the site, other than a home was once located there and all that remains is the laid up stone foundation. <signed>
