Garrett Ace 350, Garrett AT PRO, and Garrett Pro Pointer. Hope to one day be good enough to justify buying a Whites V3Xi.

Was talking with my brother tonight about that spot I mentioned and he said he knows people that have gone up there and that for a fact there are cannonballs laying around out in the open. When these friends walked around I don't know, he's 16 years older than me and assuming they are the same age as him it could have been in the 60's 70's or later. I think I'll walk up there, without detector, tomorrow just to look around and see if it's worth the trouble getting permission to dig.

And assuming it's a good site, we get permission, and we do find live balls, does anybody know how to deal with them?

Sorry got2dig working rest of week. Hope you guys can get in that property. Normalizer is as excited as a kid a xmas. Wish I still had his enthusiasm. Guess I have heard the word NO to much. Trying to get in touch with an owner of a field in Hoover's gap.

The Battle of West Nashville

Interesting website about Kelly's Point and the Battle of Nashville. Trying to figure out just where I am in relation to the lines, there very well could be stuff I don't know about in the yard. The house is built on what was part of the Belle Meade Plantation at the time.


Good stuff.

I've been hiking through k-point, know most of the west side of it but haven't ventured up on the top of the hill yet. The most interesting things I've found have been a 1959 Pontiac Bonneville that's been flipped and abandoned, and used for target practice over the years. TONS and TONS of shotgun shells laying around, as well as the normal hobo camp trash.

There are two areas that look interesting, one is a manmade stone something or other completely littered with modern bullet casings and the other is what I initially assumed to be earthworks but after looking more closely yesterday I think it's just the way an old tree fell and the root ball created a mound.

If anyone is a golfer the treasure trove is to the left of the point, an abandoned golf driving range. Balls laying around everywhere....
