Advice for the Nashville area?

[foolishgold]

Doing some MD Monday and have a few rural homesites I might check out. The TN law seems vague and confusing. Can you hunt in city parks but not state parks? Any tips on good spots in Middle TN?

Don't know anything about middle TN spots, but state parks are off limits without specific permission from the ranger. Also TVA prohibits metal detecting on their property (including water AND dirt- see the state GIS to validate actual ownership of the dry), and of course national parks are off limits. I have been told that TN's national forests are also off limits, tho I have never see that in an official publication anywhere.

Pretty much leaves city property (parks, schools etc) and private where TVA considers themselves god.

Metro City Parks are off limits also.....No Metal Detecting. I contacted them and that's what I was told.

Seems like Tennessee does their best to keep us from detecting anywhere.

Look up the battle for Franklin, you might be surprised.

Are there areas there where you're allowed to go detecting?

Yeah, go door knocking.
