Campbell's mill

Does anyone have any information on Campbell's mill later Campbell's mill park in Indiana county along the black lick creek? I think I have it located but just wondering if anyone's been out there looking around.

Hi Monte,
I have investigated the Campbell's Mill site and I have detected there.. Nothing of interest was found . I imagine after all of the flooding over the years, most everything has been washed away . Somewhere I have a photo of when the mill and the camping area was there . There was once several cabins there . Lot's of weeds and underbrush and a hard area to detect .

Monte here's is a tip for you. Have yo ever heard of Meco Mines ? There once was a town by the name of Meco in Indiana County . If you know where Ferriers Run is then you are real close . Across the steam and up into the woods you will find old cement pillars in the woods where several buildings once stood. It is mostly over grown with tall trees now . I have detected some of that area but not nearly all of it . I have always planned on going back but I never have and I sort of lost interest in detecting because of my lack of time to get out . I found some interesting stuff there. A few Indian head pennies, an engraved sterling silver spoon, pocket watch parts, several old mine tags and various other items . It is an interesting area and I'm sure there is plenty more digging to do there . I spent about 2 hours there . Their are some old foundations in the woods there also. Good Luck ! I'm in Homer City Pa.
