Neabsco creek in prince william county VA

Good day sir,,

Would you have any info/maps for the Neabsco creek old mine in Woodbridge VA ??
I got a map from Big ten, and it shows an old mine location on the creek.
Its 5 mins from my house on state property behind a K mart.
Went there with metal detectors ( cheapo's ) and found what I assumed to be an old building or bridge foundation.
being its so close and convenient I want to give it a thorough going over

any info you have would be appreciated, anything I can do in return, just ask.
good with mapping and Google earth searches

I'm interested in Stafford County in the area near Ramoth Church Road.

Thank you for helping. I'm brand new to the sport. I'm finding that for every hour I spend MD I spend 2 hours in research on the computer.

My husband owns land in the Alleheny and Bath County areas. I am new to this site, and really don't know my way around it yet. I would be interested in your maps for these areas. How do I contact you to give you specific areas of these counties? I really don't know how to post a private message to you. Thank you. Cfcseti

Thanks everyone for the continued interest for this thread. I haven't detected for about a year now, but I'm still interested and I will probably get back into it soon. If i haven't replied to you (through Private Message) it is most likely because you haven't given me specific properties to locate. I encourage everyone to go to the library of congress and search for the maps yourselves before asking for my help. I have lost the program I used to superimpose maps in a computer crash so I won't be doing that anytime soon. I can still offer side by side comparisons of old vs new maps. Good luck and happy hunting!

I have permission to detect a large farm in the Newbern area of Pulaski Co. I know there is a few historical sites in Newbern but unsure of other trails and houses. Any info would be great!
