Hunting for Civil War treasure in Cape Girardeau

Jeff Jamito, of Scott City, uses a metal detector Monday at the former Cape Girardeau Convention and Visitors Bureau site, Broadway and Main Street in Cape Girardeau, before it becomes a parking lot. "I'm fascinated by Civil War history," Jamito said, "and I want to preserve what's here to reflect Civil War camp life. My best finds are on display at the history museums in Marble Hill, [Mo.] and New Madrid, [Mo.]"
