Morning-
New guy here, just bought my first detector last month.
I'm looking for a place to find old maps on the middleburg area. I've been giving access to an old farm, 600+ acres and would like to do a little research on the property. Supposedly it's virgin MD territory w/ civil war history.

Thanks in advance,
PDW

Thanks, I think I've found something to work with. Turns out the property/farm has been around since the early 1800's. The manor house is still lived in.
With it's proximity to known battles, and the fact there are several water sources on the property, makes me think I might have a winner. 600+ acres should keep me busy for awhile.
Thanks!

Anything with in a mile left or right of RT 50 could be great digging from Aldie to Winchester! Good luck!
