They usually come in four sections each, so you have to trim them and tape together. They will show you where every house and road was mapped out for a specific time period. They are an invaluable reference for metal detectorists. I use them all the time to find old mills, roads that have been closed and no longer maintained and foundations. And also look for old stone walls and detect in the southern portion as that was how everything was buried in the day to avoid north wind sending odors towards a farm or house. Old outhouses are also a place where things were buried and afterwards were filled in and the out house moved. Many old bottles have been found in such a way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
