Hi.
I live in the South Mountain area of Franklin county Pa, just
15minutes shy of Waynesboro Pa. zip code is 17261 incase you were wondering.
Anyway. I came across your site today looking for treasure hunting sites of
Pa.
I saw on your site a place to email and tell your stories of
treasure hunting. So here's one you may want to add to the ADAMS county
area. I live right near the border of Franklin and Adams.
Just a minute down the road from me in Adams county resided a Hotel
that originated in 1876. Its name was The Cold Springs Hotel. This hotel
stood 4 stories high and as the story claims was used during and just after
the Civil War and the Battle of Gettysburg. People used this hotel as well
as a place to come and bask in the bubbling springs that are still there
today.
The hotel had burnt to the ground and everything that stood fell
straight to the basement. Now the Boro of Waynesboro owns the property it
resides on and all that is merely left is stone foundation and the bubbling
pond. It has a game fence around the perimeter, as the forestry dept. of
Mount a lot campus people have been keeping care of the trees for the Boro. However
the outside perimeter is state ground and can be detected. This area holds
a lot of history that is merely unknown by most.
I know also just a mile down the road on a road called NEWMAN ROAD
soldiers had discarded cannons on the way back from the war. Still hidden in
the woods of this road to this day? Another area of possible interest for
the detectorist.
