Julie Schablitsky, the chief archeologist for Maryland’s state highway administration, used a metal detector, hoping for nails or other signs of an old building. Instead, along the roadway, she found an 1808 coin imprinted with the word “liberty”. “When this thing came out of the ground, I was shocked,” Schablitsky told the Guardian. Her discovery in November became a hopeful calling card: she and her team understood they might be getting close to finding the one-time home of Ben Ross, father of the famed Underground Railroad conductor, political activist and abolitionist Harriet Tubman.

Lindsley/Library of Congress/AP) Archaeologist Julie Schablitsky found the coin with her metal detector along an old, abandoned road in an isolated area of Maryland’s Eastern Shore. She dug it out of the ground and scraped off the mud. She hadn’t been finding much as she and her team probed the swampy terrain of Dorchester County last fall searching for the lost site where the famous Underground Railroad conductor Harriet Tubman lived with her family in the early 1800s.
