King George County Virginia Civil War sites

[3121]

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows about some Civil war sites in King George county Va. that might might be worth metal detecting perhaps along the Potomac river? What type of relics can one expect to find in King George County Va. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Any site on the river that held a period bridge,ferry, or crossing would be worth checking out. Virginia is full of sites that are yet to be discovered. You need to research and hunt on a hunch. Good Luck!

Never hunted in that part of Va, however, since it is across the river from Md, I would imagine you might find a Confederate pickett post or calvary vidette on some high ground near a main road.

Pretty much what Mike just said.....Start off with some CW map's and find out where the troop's were.I hunt up in the easier crossing's of the Potomac,King George Potomac is pretty vast compared.Do the research and maybe start knocking on door's,talking to the old folk's,farmer's,whom ever and start gaining access.You just never know......Research is the key though.

P.S. If you need a hand Diggin'.....Let me Know Good Luck and HH!!
