:They have a real phobia about detectorists. An aquaintance who has made a study of Gettysburg battlefield took me to some interesting out of the way places there. With the aid of maps and the only photo of Lincoln, we were able to place ourselves probably within feet of where Lincoln stood to give his address. Made chills go up my back. Far too many gave their lives there and it is really hallowed ground.

RE-ENACTING THE A BATTLE THAT WAS HELD AT A RAILROAD CUT. HERE IS A BREIF SCENERIAL OF THAT BATTLE.
As 1863 brought on better weather, the 95th saw minor action at Chancellorville and then were significantly engaged in the 3 day battle at Gettysburg. As part of the 1st Corps, under General Reynolds, the 95th was heavily engaged during the first day as part of Cutler

Vicky and I made a trip there last year. It was awesome. It's true what Dave said about detectors. If they find one in your car, even if it's dismantled, you'll lose your detector, your car (so I was told) and get arrested and fined.
I was fortunate enough to stay at a B&B that was on the battlefield but out of the national park. I asked the owner if I could do a little hunting and she said it was fine (boy was I excited!). Then she told me that the previous owner was a MD'r and his club hunted the place every week I found some reproduction buttons and then I found this:

I would highly suggest that you hire one of the tour guides to go with you in the car. A little pricey, but well worth it! Also drive down to Antietam and Harper's Ferry. If you want the audio tour for Antietam, I think we still have it. It's a CD tour with a map. Before you go, watch "Gettysburg" and "Gods and Generals" GREAT movies.
I walked onto the field where Pickett's charge took place. It's like the ground talks to you. I walked on little round top and big round top, even walked through Devil's den. Wow. It's hard to comprehend.
