Does anyone remember?

[xenaswolf03]

Awhile back I read an article online that was talking about some folks that got busted for md'ing on a Civil War Battlefield. The feds took their machines, truck etc. Anyone remember seeing this same article? Where can i find it again? Thanks

There have been several prosecutions for detecting and other digging at protected civil war battlefields. While we might disagree on a lot of things, most of those places have been correctly identified as monuments to those who served there. My greatgrandpa^3 and his brother, who fought on opposite sides, would probably cut your fingers off for picking at the bones of their fellow soldiers! Same goes for his greatgrandpa^3 who fought in the revolutionary war and his pa in the French Indian.....

Then again, what if you find a battle site that is remote, and get some great stuff?!? Need moral guidance here! How far back and by what criteria do we decide which sites are holy and which sites can be made holey?
