"While at Black Beach about 15 years ago, the author encountered a gentleman emerging from the woods carrying a metal detector. He said he had been looking for cannon balls and had previously found a pile in the woods. Unfortunately, the person’s name and address were not obtained. The location of the find was on the hillside north of Black Beach and about one half mile from Frenchman’s Creek."

This kinda stuff doesn't happen by accident!

By the way... I would check the bare spots first just below the place you have marked. It will be easy to hunt, so a good place to look for signs, and chances are that guy 15 years ago started where the swinging was easy.... and maybe that's where he scored.

I would also keep researching because detector guys are sometimes known to lie about the location of a find!

There seems to be potential in the area...

From pre loyalists settlers, post loyalist, French we're around too.

Man o man I need a hunting buddy. I hate going into the woods by myself lol.

Stories like the above are fun but you have to be very lucky for a lead to work out. What you need is some early maps for the area. If someone was hunting there he was detecting early cabin sites which had nothing to do with the ship. I tell ya a map dating 1770-1790 showing houses in that area would be a very valuable map. French is tough, but there is great archived material for Loyalist land grants and settlements. If you had any idea of the potential I see in an area like that, with woods that you can't hunt and never be bothered, you'd be on the trail tomorrow looking for that map!

You didn't happen to find that beer in the same pile, did you?
