Pocahontas County

[WV_Digger]

Hello everyone, Pocahontas County here. Pretty new to detecting and am looking for anyone who may like to get together soometime. Right now I am researching this area and have found a few places that may be promising if I can get the locations pinpointed, old schools, homesites etc...

Hi, I have a cabin around Dunmore and like to hunt around there sometimes too. Maybe we can compare notes sometime and help each other some. I used to hunt there often but changed jobs and not been doing it much last couple of years but want to change that this year.

 

[WV_Digger]

Let me know when you come back, maybe we find some places to hunt.

New to the whole idea of TH. No machine or any of that. Just found this site about a month ago and caught the TH bug
Down in Fayette County. Nothing but raw CW territory here. All along US 60 and US19 I'm sure you boys have an idea of the areas between Charleston, Summersville, Lewisburg, etc.
Although I have hauled lumber in and out of your areas for years, I can't say I knew much about Civil War history there until I started researching my own areas. I don't drive truck anymore, so I don't get around much, but I've decided to get a detector, sooner or later, and see just what I might find in my own yard at first since it's smack in the middle of so much CW traffic.
I've been watching this board for a while and was surprised that there was so little activity here. Hope it picks up pretty soon.

I do some fishing up Watoga every now and then. I could let you know the next time I'm up that way this spring.

Hi WV_Digger
I'm up in Green Bank all the time. I live in Greenbrier county. I've been hunting up and down Rt 219 for 3 years now. Maybe we can get together and do a little hunting.

Hey guys, I'm in the area too, lived in Lewisburg, and along route 60, I'm in Va now, but hunt greenbrier county, monroe, summers, and poco counties. Artifact rich area to say the least.The history along route 60 is amazing. Anyone in the area wants to do some artifact hunting gimme a holler.

Hey guys. I also have a family cabin at Green Bank. Turn up Green Bank Rd at the big red barn. Matter of fact was just up there this past weekend and did some detecting on Fri around the cabin. Only come up with a handful of shotgun and rifle shell casings. We only make it to the cabin 2-3 times a year but I would love to get up with someone that may know the area better and do some searching. I live in Monroe County so I would be interested in getting up with "thirty7" also. I love to detect, I just don't know very many places to go. I have done the majority of my hunting on the beaches and am really knew to relic hunting but it has always interested me

Does anyone know anything about possibly getting permission to search around Camp allegheney. I drove up there this past Sun and just looked around. I wanted so bad to get the detector out of the truck and get to digging but i didn't.

hey steelerfan, I'm in natural well va. only about 15 miles from monroe, about 20 miles from union. I have family in union, and we hunt artifacts every year, mostly arrowhead hunting. Ever find any indian relics up near greenbank? I've always wanted to hunt that area, but dont know where to start.
