Reading History for places to go metal detecting! Very Good! If nothing else you will be steeped in certain portions of Civil War History. Good Reading.....................63bkpkr

they can be good sources for virgin spots
My thoughts are many people have hunted out areas that pop up searching on the Internet , some details that never made it to the web may be rewarding....I've had great results so far doing old school research.
