Search for Washington's Camp
Yesterday and today my wife and I went out to what supposely was the camp where George Washington's troop stayed over nite headed to Valley Forge. It's an old grismill from 1790's. They made it into a park, and last week while detecting a local park a Pa. Fish ad Game worker stopped and was asking me if I had done the old Grismill so we scoped it out and set the plan in motion.
So after 4 hours on Sunday and another 2 today its with great disappointment that we ended up with:
a hood ornament
fishing reel spool
5 memorials
1 clad dime
1 1946 wheatie
silver plated fork
and a button
We had a friend with us on Sunday and he got an old sign that was for shaping tools and in 3 peices and a metal counter wheel and 2 memorials, a dime, and some scrape metal pieces(Not shown)
So the hunt for the camp continues!!
Thanks for looking.
