I live in Clarkville...Yeah the clarksville parks dept guy is a real moron, I have dealt with him before, and I posted the emails right here on TNET, too !!! The deputy director is kevin...anyways, you can legally hunt the county parks, no issue. Also, there are alot of places out in the dover/woodlawn areas that look promising.

Go to Ft. Defiance. Go down the hill to Red River. Hunt about 100 yards from the Cumberland. You will find red brick and other debris. There are a lot of square nails.

There was some type of warehouse that burned down. I found a round of grayish heavy metal about the size of a coffee cup saucer. Scratched it and it was shiny. Left it there thinking it was lead. Later I heard that some coins were in the fire and could have melted together.

Haven't been back due to a bum knee. Knee is getting better so the next time I go to Clarksville I might give it a try. I am sure I can find it again but you are welcomed to search.

Let me know what you find.

Toyman,

Where, exactly are you talking about? Surely you are not talking about in FT Defiance Park?

That is a Historical area, strickly forbiden to metal detect! Are you talking about "A" st (Where FT Defiance is),
or do you mean over by Trice Landing area?
Here is the correct link to FT Defiance Park:

Soar,

Read my post again. I said go to Ft. Defiance then go down to Red River. I know that Ft. Defiance is a city park. I was giving you the best way to get to the river. Of course you could try and park at the rock quarry and follow the river bank from there towards the Cumberland river. Here's a Google Earth image.

Study rail roads and camps during the civil war.Look for old house sites from historical maps. Study the movements of troops out of nashville thru middle Tenn. This will take to places with a good variety of trasure.
Good luck guys.

P.s also check out the big civil war atlas of maps and se what is near you.
