Any ACE250/Garrett users in NE Ohio besides me wanna check out an old camp?

On a recent camping trip near Pymatuning Lake, my son and I went exploring a heavily wooded area on a tip from an Andover Ohio cop about a 1800's-early 1900's camp that was abandoned when the lake was impounded (1930's)
After sweating and swatting mousquitos (that IGNORED deep woods off) we finally located not only the two outhouses (both with ceramic toilets intact but walls collapsed) but the stone foundation of the HUGE main lodge and out cabin. By then we were soaked in sweat and covered in bug bites, and spent only a 1/2 hr swinging but only dug a few old shotgun casings and bullets, but there were a TON of ferrous-sounding targets, and a LOT of soil detritus covering the remains. We then left, thinking we'd go back early spring or late fall when foilage and temp and bugs wouldn't be an issue.
Also, it would be needed to bring relic shovels and other tools to remove some more soil, but I am SURE there should be lots of good targets.
My idea is that we could organize a Garrett hunt there this fall and gang up on this place. It's located literally 1/4 mile from the lake, right outside Andover.
Also, we found a bottle-dump with some intact old stuff. We only brought out a 1923 Coke bottle and some old whiskey bottle. There's more there.
Ideas? Thoughts?

The Miles Rd. Dirve In just recently had the screen, projector building and concession torn down, and a bulldozer plowed up each row of speaker poles. The area is mostly a mess, being redied for housing construction, but SOME areas have had the "upper layer" of crud stripped off (CRAPLOADS of pulltabs and screwcaps, etc) and some older coins are practically laying on the surface.
So far in three trips there recently I have 3 Mercs, the oldest a 1921, about a dozen wheaties, and a ton of clad. It's still frustrating with the amount of trash and deep ruts from heavy equipment, but doable.
I may be heading back there this Sunday (no construction on Sundays) if you're interested Fred call me on my cell 440-343-1404
