What a fascinating story of Spanish Hill. This is the most information I have seen on it. There was a woman who did a YT video on the history of Spanish Hill as well. Wish I were closer. The woman said that eventually the hill got farmed and flattened out. However a metal detector surely could still find stuff. This is hours away from where I am.

Very mysterious place there and a lot more around .

Gary - When you say there is a lot more around, do you mean in the immediate area?
This is definitely verification that the Spanish were in PA, which I suspected.

I am sure there are people who could take a closer look at the sword and cross artifacts and determine age and ownership. I visited the website of the museum who have said artifacts, but they don't have anything there.

I am curious who was here in PA 300 or so years ago due to one of the treasure sights I am working.
