Sorry to bust the bubble. This town is also within the confins of the Warton State Forest. Or Bass River State Park. No MD allowed!!

It is still worth it to go see any of these ghost towns. I wouldn't waste my time with a detector, even if it was allowed. These sites are so well known that they were all heavily detected back in the 1970's. You would only get frustrated after hours of detecting.

I recommend seeing the following ghost towns. Washington, Martha, Hampton Furnace and Atsion (the easiest one to get to. It is right off of route 206, a few miles north of Hammonton. Parkdale is a more modern ghost town a few miles from Atsion and Hampton Furnace.

All are worth the drive, but for some you will need 4WD.
