[QUOTE="Daggarjon, post: 300436, member: 4230"]When i lived in Mass, we had cemetaries around that hadnt' been used in a hundred years. As kids, we would run amok and juct not have a care in the world. Som eof the grave buildings were unlocked and open - creepy. Anyhoot... i would have the same reservations as you do. But if your desire out weighs the reservations.. then by al means go ahead -- but with this advice :) treat the dead with the same respect as you might in an active grave yard. Dont walk on the tops of the graves, and dont dig on the tops of the graves. Over time, i am sure the burial mounds have long faded, but being a bright person, i am sure you can easily figure the width and length that you might want to steer clear from. Besides, if the person was buried, all the dirt below had been disturbed at one point - i would doubt anything of numismatic interest would be in that dirt. So any ground between the graves would/should be ok :) happy hunting... and if Zombies do start chasing after you... head to jhonn's place - it sounds like he may had had some success in dealing with the critters inthe past :D[/QUOTE]
