Ok then...Ryan lets pick a Sunday before the ticks get bad! The sooner the better, it seems like we are all itching to get out again. I'm sure the group will grow too...several others from the site have said they would like to join us.

Aaron CONGRATS!
According to the web site http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/parks/fortwashington.aspx the fort was located in a different area than where we were. That is why I was curious if we could hunt the Fort Hill area. It is marked on their map as "historical".

We are home safe and sound from the hospital. Thank you to eveyone for your kind words. If we go out this Sunday, maybe my Mom can watch the young one for a bit.

Hey Shane... Were you able to get a date on the spoon from the markings?

Aaron,

I researched that spoon. Here is when it was made>>

The mark Wm. Rogers surrounded by a star and eagle was used by William Rogers between 1825 to 1841 on his coin silver spoons.

These markings are on the spoon. It is silver plated though. The pics are small. I'll try to resize them later. Pretty cool. You found the spot, I just dug it .....

Glad to hear you and your wife are home and safe, Shane.

Congrats on the old siver! I think it's a cool find!

Shane;
glad all went well and your wife is home. Sunday would be good for me too!

Hey I found a spoon too. Not Wm. Rogers. Mine has "Troop 67" etched on the back!

Nothing is solid yet Hollow. It's Ryan's hunt. We need to check with him. It was a cool hunt.

Sunday's cool with me, I just have to bail out a little early, gotta take my daughter to a Beauty and the Beast play at the local high school at 2pm. I beleive Ft. Hill is the one across from the park office, there is a monument there now. All traces of the real area were destroyed by out of state workers that were working on the turn pike project during the depresion years. I've gone up there but there is a awful lot of trash. The only part of that camp that might be left would be inside the Wapiti Archery club grounds, I was on their site but couldn't find a phone number to call them to ask for permission. The other hill, Camp Hill is owned by some wierd religous group. I'm not goin up there by myself, if someone would like to go up there with me I'll go. Those people scare me!

 

[cam9457]

If you look at the map on my profile I left the pointer on Ft. Hill. The area south of the pointer and North of the Tpk is a steep hill, pretty thick, but thats where the action was on Ft Hill

 

[CanUDigIt]

Same time and place on Sunday?

 

[oldplacesnofinds]

I should be able to come. My Mom says she can watch junior.

 

[cam9457]

Sounds good to me, I'm workin on getting permission on some more large historical properties just to have more lined up. Oh, Brian, the Clifton house is where the historical society that I volunteer meets, I was there today. There isn't much ground there, maybe 1/4 acre. They just mowed the field across the street, they only do that once per year. Looks promising.

 

[oldplacesnofinds]

The more I think about it, I wonder if that spot had any small civil war skirmishes with all the ringers we found. Or, someone was just doing some shooting into a hill back in those days. Seems kind of wasteful though. What do you guys think?

 

[baspinall]

I'll be there Sunday.
