Do you think I stand a chance of finding anything on this land?? It is mostly residential now, I'm looking for permission to dig in a few places.

Has anyone ever heard of anything interesting about this site??

    There's a great deal of information about the site you're proposing to hunt. I say if you get permission to hunt even the smallest of areas, go for it! Mary

    Detecting in Buffalo City parks is a big No-no. As you say, much of the Expo land is now residential homes so you would need permission from the home owners. I don't think you'll find many places where the origional soil is in place with the streets being built and grading for lawns etc. but with many of the homes at 80-100 yrs old Im sure theres stuff to find. If you get permission and need a hunting partner give me a yell.

    I've got an overlay map and I am going to drive around and see if there are any potential places to dig.

    From the map it appears that today's Delaware Park lays on just the southern tip of where the expo was.

    The northern border of the expo was a railroad track, which is still there today. I was thinking of possibly digging just south of the tracks if possible.

    I'll know much more when I go there in a few days.

    I figured it would be worth a shot to go down there and see if there are any possibilities.
