New poster. My brother, father and I wandered the Downingtown farm property off Skelp Level Road from the early 60's until the late 70's. The Summer Camp that owns the property worked with the township around three to four years ago to set up a hiking loop trail that gives a bit more access to the area. About two years ago workers from the camp cleared the vines away from the house foundation, but there are clear warnings about snooping around the house, the spring house and the barn ruins that were still overgrown. Now keeping in mind that the family would have to be able to locate any buried gold without too much effort should it be needed, landmarks become important. With that thought in mind, I have two spots with intact landmarks that would be prime detecting locations. I am pretty sure both the township and the camp would not allow any detecting and would be pretty aggressive in going after anyone who did, so for the time being (unless someone has a bright idea), I have to sit on my hands until I can figure out how to approach the issue. Any located gold would be the property of the Camp with the Township and State Historical Commission getting their fingers into it as well, so the person who located it might get a pat on the back and an article in the paper at best.
