Did you ever get to hunt this property? I would love to know who owns it now. I'm just a stones throw away, may e half a mile. I find 3 ringers and buttons on my property, hoping for more.
The location is in fact at the bethel church on new salem rd. I was able to speak to the land owner. He confirmed all the stories. He's also agreed to let me hunt this area this fall.
D love to k ow who owns this now

Itā€™s awesome to see that this thread has been revived. I honestly registered for this forum back in 2019 just to monitor this thread from time to time! Iā€™ve known of the Red Cross encampment for some time. If Iā€™m not mistakenā€¦ some where in the general vicinity of the county is where a soldier or two were hit by lightning during a nasty storm.

Iā€™m just down the road in Archdaleā€¦. Unfortunately Iā€™m from VA and do all of my detecting in either central VA or SC so I donā€™t have any permissions in the area. Iā€™ve studied the area for years though and have a fair idea of where the old wagon roads and river crossings were. Iā€™m always fantasizing about what sort of goodies lay just beneath the surface when I ride out 62 and Groometown.

I just havenā€™t grown a pair and started door knocking šŸ˜‚. All of my friends live in neighborhoods so no easy permissions there.

Thatā€™s phenomenal! Glad to see confirmation of entries I come across while browsing letters and accounts from that era.

I'm in Durham County, NC and would absolutely be interested in pursuing this site for detecting if there is anyone out there still monitoring this thread (Looks like its been 9 months or so since anyone has posted in it). Let me know!
