Just discovered the site and have never really ventured into treasure hunting but in the back of my mind I thought maybe this could be a gas. I am fortunate enough to have some Civil War lands around me and a relatively active running stream through my property lots of washed in gravel that is replenished by mother nature after heavy rains. I do take the gravel out in small quantities to replace what mother natures removes from my drive way but have never really examined it other than glancing. Maybe theres a big (or little) gold nugget or maybe rubies or diamonds or.....I did find an old canon ball!
Im thinking along the lines of a metal detector to evaluate the gravel.

Well I sure have enjoyed such a warm welcome! Thank ya'll very much. I see 3 Tn neighbors and no Jeff haven't met CoilyGirl as of yet :happysmiley:

Started looking at all the options, I had no idea. I do have a question though. My being on a very fixed income Ive narrowed it down for now to those under $300. When comparing features what would be the 5 most important, Ive found a good cross ref for comparison? Reading the reviews makes a difference Im finding some interesting comments. This probably isn't the best thread area for a bunch of questions but is Hz bigger or smaller better?

One more mention I am a federally licensed gunsmith and dealer and would love to see if some bartering of services or product my be tempting, just a thought.

Im sure of one thing I'll bet there are more mule shoes than carters got pills in these hills but a buried cannon sure would make my day or some gold bars! Thanks for the welcome Im sure I'll be around for a long time (God willing).

Greetings from the south east corner. You got civil stuff "out the wazoo" over there. Woodbury and McMinnville. I used to come over there to hunt many years ago. I was once in a place called Hill's Cove and it had a historic marker. We were reading the marker and I got a detector out of our car and checked the ground right there and hells bells dug a few bullets right at the marker. It shocked the people with me. :headbang:
