Until someone pipes in - you might consider browsing Sub-Forums: Arizona for information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state.

So went out to the territorial fort remains and found a bunch of lead. I found 1 musket ball I think and a square nail.

arizona did NOT have many forts as people understand...camps were the common...camp verde is an example...was only a fort after the military had left the ao...

i grew up in arizona, am not familiar with any fort above phoenix.

I don't see anything that is "just north" of Phoenix but you can find some information of others in the area at Fortwiki.

It just off Table Mesa Rd, east of 17. There are rows of stones. I saw it on Google maps and the pics about it said it was a fort. So it's gotta be true, right?
