How many of you are in Southwest Virginia?

[Rebel - KGC]

I'm from around Blue Ridge. I'm retired military and new to Metal Detecting. Just been out around where I live trying to get the hang of it and ran across an 1876 seated Liberty dime. Would like to hunt with people who know what they're doing and where to hunt.

I think I'll stick with hunting something that is believable. Like old coins and civil war stuff.

My father and that side of my family are from Grayson County, but had moved to Marion, VA by the time I remember visiting my grandparents in the late 1960's. When I got (kit built) my first Radio Shack detector in the mid 1970's, I took it with me on a trip to visit my Grandmother, eager to get out and find some coins with it. Me getting out to play with my detector was in no way a major part of our family trip that year, but to pacify me we took a scenic drive out to White Top mountain where (as I remember it from my early teens), my Grandmother said that Eleanor Roosevelt spoke in the 1930's to a gathering of around 3000 people. When we finally got there, I only got to walk around with my detector for about 10 minutes, and dug no targets, due to my Mom fearing I would find a rattlesnake instead of a coin. Just curious if anyone here has ever heard of, or tried hunting that site? It may be something for someone currently in that area to look into. HH

I'd never heard of this event, but then again I don't know where White Top Mountain is either.... Pardon my duh times....

Any of you guys around the Wise area still hunt? I've only met one other person around here who does. I usually go solo which is fine, but it would be great to meet up with anyone else! I'm still relatively new at MDing but I've really enjoyed my Fisher F2 so far!

hey you guys in south west Virginia I have an idea but... anyone know the countryside golf course that closed down in Roanoke? how would we find someone who could give permission to hunt there, I know there was a man made swimming lake there the neighborhood streets reflect that fact may be a good site.

Hey donj, correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the city/county own the property now?

I’m in Roanoke. I’ve plugged away around town with a few good finds. I can’t seem to find that silver streak. I could use some company and maybe a few tips. I wouldn’t mind venturing out.
