The sort of construction you asked about would be used in a situation where in English you would express it as something like "Not only......but also....."
Like when your mother goes around picking up your socks. "I found one over here and two over there and another one on the couch!" It isn't the mere plurality of socks she's emphasizing, it is the plurality of places that is the focus of here ire. See the distinction?

Oh! okayy.
So you would use [ko\so\aso\do]ko ni mo when you want to emphasize it.
Whereas if you just wanted to say it normally you would say it you would..
do what? because buntaro said that you'd put mo after each thing you want to include, how would you not put stress onto the places you found them?
Thanks

I would just leave off the mo if you're talking about looking for something "around and about" or scattered randomly "here, there, and everywhere." But what is the example, then ? There are the below possibilities depending basically on where it is and what the verb is in an overall sentence.
あちこちに[で], あちらこちらに, そこかしこに, ここかしこに, そちこちに ...

Hmmm. okaayy.
The example from my text book is this.

１） 鉛筆はどこですか
２） ここにもそこにもあります。

Ohhh, so all of those mean here and there, but the mo adds emphasis?

so i could just say 「ここそこにあります」？
eh, im confused
