Anyone in or around Gatlinburg????

[JvilleHunter]

Hello to everyone. Was hoping I could get some positive response on this posting. My sons and I are heading up to Gatlinburg for some snow skiing and was hoping there might be some TN'ers on here that are around this beautiful town. Ever since I was a young boy, i've always wanted to find arrowheads and never was able to. Was hoping maybe a few of you might know of a good place to go hunting for them around Gatlinburg. I would be in HEAVEN if I just found one. So, if there's anyone who may know of a few good spots around Gatlinburg...I would be much much much appreciated if you could point me in the right direction.....

Thank You in Advance....

I live in Lenoir City and there are several of us that live in the Knoxville area. I have never hunted Gatlinburg. It is very close to the National Park which is off limits to metal detecting. I wish I could help you in that area but I have never hunted in that area. It is very beautiful down there.
