Heading to Nashville

[mlayers]

I will be heading to Nashville, TN over Thanksgiving weekend. Was wondering if anyone would like to get together for a day hunt. I can hunt land or a beach area. Thanks Matt

Hey I live in Nashville and might could make this work.
What sort of hunting did you have in mind and on what day?

 

[mlayers]

I am coming down on Thanksgiving so I was looking for Friday or Saturday to hunt. Land or a beach area....

Well deer season will have just started so getting out into the country woods for any old places could be hazardous to our health.
But there are definitely some spots we could hit. Just found a park with some 18th (yes 18th) and 20th century significance that i started hunting. From some of my finds, its pretty clear its never been hunted by anyone. Probably due to its obscurity and location.
There's another park thats right in the line of battle during the CW. Ive hunted it once for an hour or so but only came up with trash and clad. Its a big park though.

These parks are legal to hunt but many are not. If you're not interested in nashville parks, we can hit any beach or park on Percy Priest lake.
Also, I have two small CW spots ive been looking into as well but not yet hunted. A couple of small wooded areas that have been left. They have potential due to their location but dont know for sure if theyll be good.

What do you think?

 

[mlayers]

They sound good. I will be bringing 2 of my detectors. Will have to decide where to meet up at. I will be a couple of miles from the Opry Land Hotel...

 

[deathhare]

Yeah sounds good. Possibly I could think of something else in the meantime too.
I live 10 minutes from your hotel.

I am between nashville and clarksville (about 25 mins from opryland) still a rookie. I would like to tag alone and maybe pick up a few pointers.
I have my own detector.

thanks

 

[deathhare]

Yeah that sounds fine to me.
I guess watch this thread as we work out the time and day to meet.

Best day for me is Saturday and ideally get going early in the morning.

 

[mlayers]

Yes I was also thinking about Saturday would be the best. As I would be heading back to Ohio on Sunday morning. When it gets closer to Thanksgiving I will PM you guys my number......Matt

 

[deathhare]

Sounds good to me.
Looking forward to it.

I may have found another spot to choose from today. Its only a couple miles from the Gaylord hotel too.
Didnt find much but did get a 1917 and a 1918 wheatie. So it might have potential but I suspect its been hunted quite a bit in the past.

 

[tsmith]

Sounds great I am an early riser also. I will keep my eyes on the thread I cant wait.

Thanks

I'm just south of Nashville. I agree, if we had been on then we could have met up, etc...
