Very cool stuff, indeed.

This is a spot I've been investigating as a potential detecting site. It was, at one time, the largest mental hospital in the state.

Northern State Ghost Town

Once the largest hospital for mentally ill people in Washington State, Northern State Mental Hospital was a town unto itself. Parts of the site are still in use and off-limits, but the farm is now a recreation area. It is located just north of the Skagit River near the town of Sedro-Woolley...

There's a lot of stories about the place, and I just ain't sure I want to go beeping around some spot where deceased people had been secretly buried.
