Hi! This is my first post on Treasurenet. I recently moved to Meriwether County, Georgia. There is a fairly large creek on the property. I have found a SMALL amount of very fine gold here in the creek. My question is about the other heavy metals I find, especially on the bank. If I am finding...

Dug this up yesterday at a civil war spot we go to frequently and was excited as it was the first piece of artillery I've found so far. I believe it's too small to be a cannonball but too large to be canister shot which leads me to believe it could be grapeshot but I'm not well informed on...

I think the thing I found today out of a civil war field might be a three ringer a soldier took and carved into something. The thing is I don't know exactly what he carved it into. My theories are Sinker(just never got to put a hole through it), or a game piece. If anyone has any ideas please...

There has been a lot of confusion about the metal detecting laws in Georgia. Some new legislation passed a few years ago, scared everyone, and we had a bunch of people saying, "You can't detect in Georgia anymore! The sky is falling!" So, I want to cite the Georgia codes most relevant to our...
