A qualified no on the MDing in Kspt. I had a Radio Shack in the 70s that was given to me that literally found nothing but trash (I didn't have much patience as a youngster.....well, less than I have now anyway). I did detect the Legion Pool this year after they took the fence down but only found one merc and a couple of wheats (a fellow who was also detecting that morning said he was certain that someone had climbed the fence and cherry picked the place).

I'm near exit 50 off I-81. Fall Branch/Jonesborough exit. Moved here 3 years ago from NH and haven't been out much due to not really knowing where to go. Not sure what the local laws are with regards to public property.

I live in Greeneville about a mile from Richard (Backwoods Detectors online). I'm 65 and usually hunt our parks here in Greeneville. But if anyone gets a meeting for a group hunt, let me know.

I used to live in Gate City, then Blountville, and used to hunt Warriors Path and the Fairgrounds Ball Fields in Gray (6 years ago)
