how exactly can these ghost towns be found,specifically the ones in Clinton County. I mean 2miles East of whatever can have you driving or walking for quite awhile. Does the book specify any details or just short sentences?

Thanks

Arent most of the forts in America already owned by someone or the state? Most of the time it is strictly off-limits and metal detecting is a one way ticket to jail. Has anyone actually md'ed at these sites?Seems pointless listing something members of the md community cannot even step on.

Try Syracuse. Somewhere between the bleek and unbearable winter, the extraordinarily high gas prices, and the general lack of a pulse ya got one heck of a ghost town right there. :P

P.S. It's o.k. I'm from that area originally. I can make fun.

Just because Gldhntr listed these town names doesnt mean you can just march in and hunt. Now its up to anyone interested to research the areas,seek out the old maps and then see where the old towns actually stood and IF you can hunt the area. Gldhntr found these towns listed as is in Thomas P.Terry's books and posted them here as researchable leads as a favor to the rest of us........ some of these towns along with the legends of treasure still take a lot of cross researching to find.



PS....Too funny Tricia
