Louisville area new and eager

[roby28]

I'm very new to MD hunting and gold prospecting but have had passion for years. Looking for a person or people to go with on day trips or overnight outings for lots of fun and learning. If you could help me out I'm in the Louisville area and eager to learn and get out.

I'm in Louisville too! No spots to hunt around here?

Cherokee park? Fairgrounds? Lots of historical areas in Louisville. Would recommend look at the hybrid view of google maps to get an idea of how much ground Louisville has I haven't detected over there (I work in Louisville), but Louisville is rich in history. Maybe a trip to the Library?

Well there are multiple areas you can dig up. Basically anywhere from the river till magnolia is pretty old ground. Central park would be huge I think. But with a police station right there and all the people around it would be hard. Also there's an empty lot a couple blocks towards downtown from central park. I just saw a guy metal detecting there last weekend. Right in the middle
Of town.

Also all the parks and trails are at least from the 1930's so I'm sure there are some goodies buried there... (I'm talking Cherokee park etc)

But heck yeah Louisville should be great

Louisville is a great place BUT you can not hunt in any parks. We have been fighting the city and parks department over this for a couple years. So becareful where you go hunting at
