MACKINAW CITY, MI - Excavators at Colonial Michilimackinac uncovered a 250-year-old piece of trade silver earlier this week; their second big find this summer.

According to Dr. Lynn Evans, curator of archaeology at Mackinac State Historic Parks, the triangle-shaped artifact has a small hole in it, which means it was likely part of an earring or pendent worn around 1765.

Our buddy Robert Rogers held command here for a short while before the British stripped him of command for wandering off in search of the Northwest passage.

Rogers really did get around.  I'm going to have to read more about him.

As an aside---TURN last night?  I was watching online with some other female Simcoe fans... holy cow.  All I can say is, Alex Rose promised us some equal time on Twitter, and damn if he didn't come through.

Rogers rules of ranging are still used by our military today.
