New to the area and looking for MD partners willing to share a site.

Yes, I am in the area and can make a few suggestions. GF has several nice large parks that I MD. Also Hudson, Sawmills and Lenoir. A small older park in Rhodhiss has been good to me in the past. Search out history of the Lake Rhodhiss for locations of old past beaches there were many swimming, sun bathing , camping spots. May need a kayak to reach some of those. Good luck hope this gets you started.

I haven't had much luck at local parks but I'm still new to the hobbies, still trying to find my great grandfather's moonshine money if the story's true. Maybe we could all link up sometime.

Nice! I grew up in Hudson and spent a number of years on Lake Roadhiss in a water ski club, so I know those areas well. I left town after high school, but come back to visit the family every couple of months.

Hi, I have been MDing off and on for several years. I live in the Lenoir, NC area and would like to meet up with fellow MDers in the area. I have had some fair finds around old abandoned farm home sites.

I am located in the Statesville area for anyone who wants to hunt with an experienced metal detectorist. Any skill level welcome. I hunt relics at old colonial sites all the way to coin shooting. I would also like to try gold hunting if anyone is willing to show me the ropes. But it doesnt matter if you read this post 10 years from now, feel free to text or call me 216-767-3118 Kevin Hope to hear from you!

fxdigger, looks like you have potential partners coming out of the woodwork down there.

I guess you guys are saturated in that area.

BUT NEVER GIVE UP! You'll find pretty things :)

Hickory Area detecting meetup

Thanks to all who replied to me!

I spoke to n4hwk1 (one of you who responded) today and we made plans to meet up somewhere near Hickory on Saturday August 25, around lunchtime. Figured we could meet and discuss the idea of organizing a group of us who would like to find sites and MD together from time to time.

Anyone else who sees this is welcome to contact me and join our meetup.
