Speaking of guessing, what about that rod they used to find water....? Can't think of the name of that thing.

NO KNOWLEDGE...just a guess? What about the pan with holes in it like prospectors used when they hunted for gold? I know it was Virginia and not the "Gold Rush", but might they have 'panned' for something and just called the pan a 'search'. Sounds better than a probe for hunting for bullets. :) Margaret ==== VA-SOUTHSIDE Mailing List ==== USGenWeb Archives Census Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/census/ ============================== Join the RootsWeb WorldConnect Project: Linking the world, one GEDCOM at a time. http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com
