maps for Lawrenceville Ga and Barbourville ky. amongst other questions

[dvs720]

Ok first off its tax time and i will have a bit of money to play with. I have always been interested in metal detecting and prospecting since i was a kid and watched my great grandpa douse (may not be the correct spelling) however i dont really know what machines are worth a 300 price tag and what is not. Any advice on a good mid level detector that my girlfriend and i can get into the hobby with?

Also i will be digging mostly in Georgia and in the Appalachian mountains in Kentucky. I would like to know what i should expect. I understand here in Georgia the red clay might be a pain in the summer months. also will this change in dirt types affect the readings any?

What are some good digs and locations to check out in and around Monroe Ga and Barbourville KY?

Any tips an old timer wants to pass down will be more than welcome.

Thanks!

Lawrenceville Georgia is pretty developed now ,,,, There isnt much left undeveloped or old farms ect ---- You really have to go further north for anything good
