look on google earth for a large wooded area. buy a hand held gps, make a survival pack(water, food, food, water, water,water, food, flashlight, e-pirb, tent, extra cloths, bug spray, and whatever else you think you need to survive in the woods and get out there --- don't forget to pack some heat - hand warmers are fine, but i am speaking about guns.
do your research, and go.
thats my two bits - good luck.
the farther you go into the woods - the better chances you have to stumble upon something great.
this is what i would do, because i have done it, and i am not in any way responsible for what you do.
good luck.

i lived near their for 15 years, and have discovered, and found some great stuff.
happy hunting, and be safe.

I personally bring all my camping essentials and food I need for two weeks when I board my canoe to go hunting, searching tributary rivers is what I like most.

Hey I live pretty close to Raleigh, and am looking for a detector to check a few areas close to my house that seem like they would be good areas to detect. Wouldn't mind meeting up and poking around one of them with someone who has experience detecting.

hi i have seen a group here who search using metal detectors. as you might know metal detectors are forbidden here except for landowners who let you search in their land.

there is a group here who get permission form some private land owners and they go as a group and search

if interested send me your email.

for me i have never joined them but just found their website. there are here in raleigh. i think you should pay something for subscription. thanks

for me i am for gold and coins. thanks
