Is it possible/probable?

[Sharryn]

I'm in Huntingdon County and wonder if anyone in our state has found Civil War relics in counties that there were no battles fought. I would think there would have been people passing through that could have dropped something along the way. I'm curious to hear your thoughts/experiences.

I'm interested in just about anything. I just got my AT Pro metal detector a couple of weeks ago, but as you know the weather has turned nasty so it will have to wait until spring for its maiden voyage outside. I do love rocks though and collect some, even if it's just because it has a neat shape or texture.

I will be sure to check out the rocks and gem forum. Thanks again!

Ive found Civil War buttons at an old school in Chester County so who knows. Could have been gatherings with Military folks attending. You never know until you try. I'm east of you.
